This thread will encompass my 521 build. I do all my own machine work as well as engine building. So I will be going in depth with the build as far as a step by step in the machining process and the build itself. So lets get started!Here we are starting with a D1VE-A2B block. Originally a 429...
Selling my truck. My goal for her was to get her back on the road. And that's what I've done. Now unfortunately I must move on to some more pressing projects. I'm the second owner and have a copy of the original title to prove it. She has 70,500 original miles on her 302 and 3-speed...
My door tags says my DSO is 57. Now I've researched and found two different tables showing DSO codes for our trucks. One shows 57 as being Hudson. The other doesn't even list 57 as an option. The one that doesn't list it is the ones in the broncograveyard catalogue. The one that lists it is from...
So today I picked up this fine specimen of a 4 speed imposter. Don't worry, I meant to. I want the overdrive gear. I figured I wanted to keep the column shift 3 speed, but gain the overdrive. So my question is, what's it going to take to put this in my truck? I'm assuming it'll bolt to the...
Summers heat is beating down now and it's very hard to go places in my truck now because of it. I know nostalgic air sells the kit that utilized factory vent locations and will allow me to keep my factory heater box. But are there any other options(cheaper)? I found a donor truck I'm looking...
I took this today while at a company picnic with my dad. That's my F100 on the left, and his F350 on the right. I spend the past three months getting my truck from Barn Find state to road ready. It was great to finally drive it today for the first time for a semi-long distance. I actually just...
Okay, so my truck has manual brakes. It's the first time I've ever dealt with non-power brakes. What are they supposed to feel like? I recently replaced a broken line on the rear diff and bled them back to front the way you're supposed to. And they feel good but seem to fade a bit. Is this normal?
So I found a screaming good deal on a set of headers on Craigslist. Only problem is, they're for a gen. 7 302 F-150. Now my question, is the frame and mounts too different for these to fit on my gen. 6 302 and in the engine bay?
I was considering doing a small cosmetic mod to help make my truck stand out. I feel like my front end is kind of bare and I want something to make it pop a little bit. So my question is, would a hood emblem like the gen 2 emblem be blasphemous on the gen 6s? They're still both f-100s. And the...
Hello fellow ford lovers! I just picked up this all original beauty earlier this week. She was sitting in a barn from the early 1980s up until a few years ago when she was bought by a guy who wanted to slam her to the ground and shave all the emblems and trim. I picked her up from him(thankfully...
