The 78 150 is coming along. I the engine is tired.....but I'm considering a reman 69-72 era Lincoln version 460 for a temporary replacement. I may need to invest in aluminum heads either way, and headers. Did the old blocks with larger plugs have dished pistons by chance? I'm hoping to turbo...

Was changing plugs, and changing thermostat down to a 160° on my 78 460 and I noticed that the plugs I got for this engine didn't match. They were way smaller, taking a 5/8" and not a 3/4 socket. I went back to the store thinking they pulled the wrong item, but that wasn't the case. I told him...

On a side note; I'm selling my 72 camper special.....for about $500 bucks. I live in Louisiana if anyone knows anybody who isn't scared of a lot of work and potential.....the value of these trucks is going up steadily......still considering keeping it, but I'm not a mechanic or body guy (not...

Would it be better to buy a reman 68 era 460 for a Lincoln Continental with no smog or one specifically for the 78 pick-up?Same price pretty much minus the core maybe.Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

Hope everyone is well.After attempting to get truck road worthy, and putting it through it's paces it is evident that it is burning a lot of oil. This truck must first and foremost be reliable as it will be my primary/ only/ work truck. What is the best solution? Am I correct to assume a...

He did mention a delete plate or egr plate. I'll look at what you referenced. The vent on the valve cover not being hooked up to the air cleaner couldn't contribute to the detonation could it?I don't mean to be so ignorant. Thanks for all the help.Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

Thanks y'all.I pulled the hose off the egr.....I thought it was the egr. Isn't that the port on the left valve cover towards the rear? It was going to the left side of the carb. He said to put it to the front if anything because my crankcase pressure or vaccuum is off causing smoke to rise up...

Thanks for the advice.Here are a few pics.Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

Hope everyone is well.I finally got the main issue with the power bleed/ non functioning alternator worked out...I say me; it wasn't me. It was just hooked up backwards. As far as the three wires going to one.....well....it isn't causing any adverse issues as of yet that I can tell.Now my...

Are the hood hinge supports the same on the fifth and sixth gen?Might just swap hoods and her the 72 back rolling for now.ThanksSent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

There are wires just jumping into other wires. I'm lost and nearly overwhelmed trying to make sense of it. I looked at some diagrams but that didn't really help because I can't really read them.Can I run a hot from battery to regulator to alternator without all the other stuff?Sent from my...
