Thanks Matt.

I had a '89 F250 4x4 with the 5.0 EFI 5-speed, and even being a 3/4 ton truck it was surprisingly fast. Miss that truck, but it had serious issues.(tranny, front end just to start, it had a hard previous owner)

I noticed that all your trucks had an upgraded cam, is that something for the new Flareside?

nah. not right now. the red Flareside was stock till i built the top-end. the other 2 i just got lucky on...

no big mod's on the 302 in the Flareside.. once it lets go, i'll do something engine wise. not sure if a CRAZY wild 302, stout 331, mild 347, or out of this wild 351W.... all of course will be after a MAF swap at the same time.

You need to throw a blower on there Chris
