What Have You Done to Your FORD Today

There isn't anyone close by to give you a hand fixing the gasket, Chris? Instead of buying another vehicle you will most likely have to make repairs to?

You are so close to having it done. Maybe a little break from it will help.

I wonder what kind of gas mileage it will get? Can't be too good.

 

[73F100Shortbed]

That's kind of a downgrade for being frustrated over a headgasket. But that's just my opinion

he drives it 5 days a week to work. he said he gets 21 on the highway doing 75. its got highway gears in the rear end.

how? its gonna get better mileage. be funner to drive. and its alot faster.. also its carbed so i aint gotta mess with all the EFI... i've been wanting a carbed truck or Mustang....

I'm not saying it isn't true, but my car doesn't get that good with a 318 and 3.08 Gears and I have a lock up trans. I have gone by what people have said when buying something and 9 times out of 10 it isn't true.

 

[5.0Flareside]

its all good... as long as it gets as good as my Flareside. i wont care...

 

[73F100Shortbed]

Probably not much faster with highway gears. The engine could look a little nicer. It's not overly impressive for $2500.

Take someone with you to help check it out.

 

[73F100Shortbed]

Yeah like down to 1k. Honestly anyone who can swap an engine in and route spark plug wires that way really makes me question how people put stuff together. Probably a cobbled up mess.

 

[5.0Flareside]

well thats why im gonna look it over. and theres alot of other stuff he's done to it that i didnt list. like dual electric fans and some other stuff..
