No time soon. I want to, but the TINY little A903 transmission and the TINY little 7.25 rear probably wouldn't make it. I can't afford to be down a vehicle, cause soon as chit one of the others would break down. I'm sure it's expectedly slow anyway.When are you going to run vixen down a drag strip? I wanna know how fast it is not listen to it idle.

My current stable of COMPLETE engines consists of (2) FE’s, (3) 302/351W’s, and (2) 460’s. I used to boast that I could build a 289/302 with my eyes shut (‘cuz I kept blowing them up when I was a kid, mostly), and I’ve ported (and sometimes ruined) God knows how many ‘69-70 Windsor heads to get as much out of them as possible. Thanks to an old friend of mine who built, and raced Y-blocks, I also had one of the first Jon Kaase “Clevor” engines around these parts in one of my ‘69 Mustangs (Windsor block, 2V Cleveland heads, Kaase intake). I used to say my blood type was Type F….Don't you dare feel stupid! The Ford engine family is one of the most extensive on the planet. It's unbelievable. Families within families. Look at the FE family. You have the standard passenger car and light truck FE, then the medium duty truck FE, both of which are totally different and take different heads, intakes, exhaust and front accessory drives. Displacements from 330 to 428. And some can be very confusing. The 360 and 390 for example, have medium duty truck variants VERY close in displacement at 361 and 391 respectively. And if that's not enough, The 428 had like FIVE variations AND THEN also had a medium duty truck variation COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from the passenger car/light truck line. And that's just ONE FAMILY of Ford engines. LOL
phhhhtttttt. I feel stupid on a regular basis so I'm right familiar with it. lol Glad you got back into cars. John knows how to build some serious Ford muscle. He did a 400 for engine masters. 677HP and 597TQ. All motor.My current stable of COMPLETE engines consists of (2) FE’s, (3) 302/351W’s, and (2) 460’s.

But I had to sell damn near everything I owned (including my soul, it seems) to pay for a wedding in ‘91, and I was never able to get back into cars while I was married to that high priced *****.
Only in 2014 did I find the time, and money, to get back to my gearhead roots, but I’m surprised by the sheer amount of **** I’ve forgotten.
Thank you for being so gracious.
I always wondered about the mystery of ford engines as wellDon't you dare feel stupid! The Ford engine family is one of the most extensive on the planet. It's unbelievable. Families within families.

That was just the tip of the iceberg. The same is true for the 385 series engines as well. lolI always wondered about the mystery of ford engines as well
That's what everybody says that does't know what's in it. 318? 340? No, slant 6. lolgat dang, that thing sounds like somebody blowin' *** in a porta potty after a week long binge on taco bell!
jus' kiddin'! it sounds pretty prett burly! sure you ain't hidin' two cylinders in there somewhere?
well, in the beginning there i thought you mighta had a D7 under the hood for a second. you shore that earl is topped up there chief?That's what everybody says that does't know what's in it. 318? 340? No, slant 6. lol
You must be ahead of me on knowing how to set it up. I shot this video with the latest galaxy at the time and it didn't come out very good but I was too lazy to go back and re shoot it
For some reason, the phone amplifies the heck out of higher frequencies. It sounds normal standin next to it.well, in the beginning there i thought you mighta had a D7 under the hood for a second. you shore that earl is topped up there chief?
*ducks*
.465 250@.050 on a 108What’s the specs on that camshaft?
And he didn't even touch on the 477 and the 534 medium truck engines.I always wondered about the mystery of ford engines as well
I've always wanted one. Those are the Super Duty gas engines made from 58-78. They are not in any other Ford family. Very large by huge engines. lolAnd he didn't even touch on the 477 and the 534 medium truck engines.
Similar to the FE engine but much larger physically. Years ago, I replaced one under warranty in a C model tractor that belonged to the Kennedy Space Center, I remember the core charge on the engine was more than the price of the reman engine.I've always wanted one.

Yeah sometimes you run into that cause they want those cores REAL bad. LOLSimilar to the FE engine but much larger physically.

That is probably the first and only time I'll hear that.Love your truck, but I love your accent even more.
I like it too. It's sexxxxy. lolThat is probably the first and only time I'll hear that.
My accent is a big reason I didn't do more videos and even deleted a few.
That plus I get nervous when the camera is on.
Kinda like garth from Wayne's world. Party on, then the camera turns on and I'm like umm , uhhh ummm.
Party on.
