I am surprised somebody has not chimed in and said they remember who this was directed at back on eeF Tee Eee before they started kicking off the regulars.

The registration is that high because of Penalties because the truck was not put on NON-OP when the registration had expired. The longer you let the penalties fester, the more they will go up. Next year they will be around $1000... Two years gets expensive... I have one truck that I bought...

I know there is a classifieds for this, but I need to unload my stuff. Reasonable prices too (in my opinion.)

That rust on the rotors clears the minute you hit the brakes.Try using your Ebrake instead of your normal brakes. If the noise pops up, you know you have brake shoe issues.

Dont forget that the old school 360HP motors were rated at the crank, with no accessories. To get an idea of what they would do in relation to 72 and newer numbers, multiply the HP by .70. 360 X.70=252 HP RWHP. This is not an accurate way to figure it out, its my guesstimation by looking at...

Heh, one time I got into a bidding war with another member of a board I was on, I was pissed to say the least. Either of us could have purchased the truck (it was a first gen blazer on craigslist) for $500, but he wound up paying $1800 for it because the seller was playing us against each...

What did you do to get slapped in the bean bag over there?The model was custom made for me at a friends request. I asked for a replica of the truck I have in my avatar, but that truck only comes in a 5 pack that was made 3+ years ago, and is worth a few dollars.. The truck pictured is...

linky here for the '74 specs. I have the '75 someplace, but did not scan them.. http://s14.photobucket.com/albums/a315/Masterbeavis/73-79%20Ford%20Trucks/1974%20Truck-Camper%20loading/I found this and the owners manual, build sheet, window sticker, warranty book etc in a '74 that was in...

LOL, 14MPG, that is great! Be glad it did not get the industry standard 8-10.

That is a bummer.. I have yet to have somebody come back to my house and steal stuff from me, but I always wonder, and keep my gate locked...

Was the rod knocking, and what that the 429 that you were alluding to?

'97 F250/350 4x4 Crew cab, Diesel or 460 :D You can find them now for cheap!

My ear must not be trained very well, but it sounds to me like that 460 has more issues than the magic 30CI 360 I just tore apart (in this thread)

California, Sacramento area.

Big block anything is dead here. Trucks with big blocks stay unsold, small blocks sell for more money :(

I bought a good useable shortblock for $20. It blew a headgasket, and while it sat, the rings froze to the walls..... Typical price $2-300 for a runner, more if its misrepresented as a 390.

The 1 head is fubar'd, it should have been scrapped instead of rebuilt. Yes, the shortblock can be rebuilt, but it needs more money than what anyone wants to put in it. Crank, pistons (rods?) overbore, will be $1500 in parts/labor... Used engine $50.

This motor is going into the junk pile once I pull the pan and she if there are any goodies inside (which I doubt) A used 360 will be taking its place.

It is a factory dog (bastard) motor built for emissions. I have seen pistons .040 in the hole, but nothing as bad as this. All I could do is shake my head and go wow.....

A boss '9 is the rare motor you probably are thinking about. Light duty 429 engines (not the 429 that they put in F500+ trucks) were not plentiful as 460s, but there are/were quite a few out there.On this motor, the pistons all sat this deep in the hole give or take a thou.

Either the valve, or the valve seat? I am not sure, it was hurt like this prior to the last screwup.

Yup. I was a dummy and did not verify where #1 was in relation to where it was supposed to be. Truck would not start, I figured out the problem, fixed it, tried starting it again, singed the crap outta myself, it fired right up....

Some of you might remember, I was working on a truck for an old timer who got it from his dead brother yada yada yada... Well today I was messing with it, screwed up real good.Let me just open this up by saying this old girl does not like me. I got suckered into working on it, I have to fix 2...
