    289 mpg

    Jets, air bleeds, badly set idle mix, float setting, weak ignition, etc etc My 76 F100 gets 11-12mpg if I baby it with a 390. you probably won't get too much better, but I'm sure you can get a lil better.

    Not a truck, but my current project anyway.

    Hehe, well heck that is worth something. I've got a thing for comfy full sized cars with absurd horsepower. Honestly, if I get finished with this car, I have to work on my truck a lil... make it pretty and stuff (might even buy a heater at some point). After that I might slowly save up for...

    Not a truck, but my current project anyway.

    Blackdog, I'm accepting donations of 427 blocks.... :P Honestly, I would have probably stuck a stroked 390 in there, but the car came with most of the engine, I couldn't justify spending two years saving money to build an engine that'd match the one that was in there. On the bright side...

    ford bronco with a 6.9 (not mine)

    For a lot less than you could build it: http://hiltonhead.craigslist.org/cto/4208632796.html looks like a nice ride.

    WTB Ford 6.9 truck

    On another note.... you are looking for a truck with a 6.9, so presumably if it has an automatic, it is a c6 transmission. You state: "Thanks for that, i do not like the automatic trani , too much trouble my friend spent 2500 for a rebuild" Anyone that paid $2500 for a c6 rebuild got raped...

    If it keeps being a problem, remember a Duraspark conversion is pretty simple and troublefree

    C6 Problems

    Trackspeeder, this kit comes with all parts needed. For a beginner it is essential. If you already know how to rebuild a c6, you could probably save $50 getting just the parts you need. Tho the booklet that comes with the kit has a lot of good tips and modifications. Plus having the #9...

    Aluminum Heads For The IDI

    it's entirely possible to ceramic coat piston tops and combustion chambers in heads.

    Aluminum Heads For The IDI

    Wouldn't the precombustion chambers get loose in the aluminum? I mean aluminum would expand at a faster rate than iron. It's still be held in place by the head/deck interface but I'd be worried about it hammering in that little clearance and making a larger hole over time. Most aftermarket...

    Market survey - Do you want a Moose Blower?

    I could never claim to have bought something called "A moose Blower" sorry.... couldn't ever do that in good spirits. Here is a thought. Why not develop a system of piping, air intake boxes, etc etc that could be sold. Have this usable with a very common turbo that could be found easily...

    Bad Jasper engine.

    didn't mean to cause any confusion, I just wanted to make sure the firing order was noted. easiest way is to just go and swap the plug wires to the other firing order and crank it up. It'll be obvious if it's better or worse :P

    Bad Jasper engine.

    of course you also said, that a shop was paid to install this. they should have some form of warranty for the engine/installation.

    Bad Jasper engine.

    so, take the valve covers off and figure out which cylinders fire fire by baring the engine over and observing the valves. check the same in the previous engine. 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 for 351, 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 for 302. I don't mess with windsors that much, but this seems like something that'd be...

    Nature of C6 Transmission Questions

    Colder weather, hoses are cold, you probably have a vacuum leak. Take handheld vacuum pump and test the hoses from the truck's vac pump, the booster, the vrv to transmission, Modulator, etc. Worst case scenario, replace all vac hoses and reset the VRV to spec. Despite some well intentioned...

    what really needs to happen here..... buy the truck, put a 390 in it, my co worker's son has this truck for sale: http://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/3320654633.html Put the diesel in it. Have two awesome trucks. live long happy life.

    '70 F-100 w/International D301

    What towcat means, is the folks here are poor. They would all love to buy your truck, but most of them lack the funding to keep their own truck running. Nice project! I love the 67-72's near as much as the dentsides.
