It has the c6 transmission

I'm happy with the motor. The new paint job not so much. I let my buddy who just finished auto paint classes do it. It doesn't look that bad but the top part between the hood and cab has started to flake and chip off and it's taking what was left of the old paint with it

These are some recent photos

It's been a long time in the works but my truck is now ready to be cranked up. I've had it bored .30 over and installed a new stroker crank. Had my d3ve heads ported and polished added the straight up timing chain and recurved the dizzy. All tnx to help from the boys over at 460.com.I'll try to...

Im trying to find gauges to make a custom instrument cluster since my printed circuit board keeps giving me issues and most of the guages on it fail to work an im having issues finding a speedometerAlso would it just be cheaper to order the parts from lmc truck and rebuild it?

i cant see the video is the test light supposed to flash my 77 ford cluster wont do anything and i already replaced the whole thing

not what i would expect http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/2086139109.html

well i finally got time to run through the the motor some more and discovered that the previous owner had the carb running way too rich and that was my timing and vac issues he had 400 jets for the primarys and i couldnt read what the secondaries were but she is running a whole lot smoother now

do u still have that fan shroud for sale for the 460 and how much do u want for it

i replaced the top end because the camshaft was worn down and 2 pushrods were bent so i put in a new cam ,lifters ,pushrods and added a weiland stealth intake when i crank it i can see the oil coming to the top on each of the rockers

well im gonna tear it down and let yall know but my step dad just found me a 71 ltd he says it has a 460 in it and its only 300 dollars and it runs great i think im just gonna swap that into my truck for now while i rebuild the other motor im tired of just looking at my poor truck and u can...

yeah im going back into the motor now i just really didnt wanna tear the whole engine apart im ready to driver the thing already

ok this is the plate

i rebuilt the top end the engine is a 460 the only bearings i had the guy look at were the cam bearings and it holds oil pressure till the temp gets to about 190 then its at zero now if i idle it up some the pressure comes back depending on the rpm

dude i just gotta say your freaking awesome at answering my questions and the pressure drops off as the engine warms up and ive only let it idle but right now it idles at like 1500 and wont get any lower im searching for a vaccum leak right now as for the sending unit is that the piece on the...

so i rebuilt my engine and im kinda scared to run it cause everytime i start it up the oil pressure sits at about 40 and just disappears as it warms up and when it idles it has no oil pressure but when i give it gas the oil pressure picks up i thought this would of stopped when i rebuilt it but...

ill have to get that picture of the plate later on but i think the orange is original cause its throughout the whole truck inside the cab and all but the white looks like it was done afterwards and yes that is a clear coat on it and im working on getting the trim pieces

ok i just finished rebuilding my engine she runs great now but i had to take a lil time away cause i ran my hand through the fan trying to remove the vacuum advance i no have four purple fingers but im about to start the body work and want to know what the color number is for the orange on my...
