is there a forum of this quality, for old ford gassers?

my 86 460 crew cab has been sitting far too long. it is going to need some major
tlc to get her running again, and i was wondering if there was a source of guidance and advice similar to what can be found here.
i won't be able to start on it anytime soon, but if i can begin to acquire parts sources and knowledge to get a rebuild plan together before hand, i think it will
go much better.

thanks!

what do you need?
i am about to scrap out a 87 fed smog ext cab truck.
bought it right when the gas prices took off.

well, pretty much everything. long story short, asking my wife to take care of it while
i was deployed somehow resulted in a truck that don't run.

maybe the more sensible thing to do is let go of my emotional attachment to this truck and
part it out. we been through a lot together and the mere thought of doing that just unsettles me.

460ford.com and fte

We do have a gas engine forum here, but I can't say we have a lot of dedicated enthusiasts to support it. I find the quality of help at Fullsizebronco.com to be good, and they use the same forum software so it has a similar look and feel.

FTE is great for gas

Don't even think twice about it. What you said above is the reason I still have my 73 F100 with the 360, and still run it occasionally just to get a feel for the good old times. Just don't do like me and ever rebuild the engine for pure power and not take advantage of it. I used to get 16 mpg before the rebuild, and now I measure in gallons per mile. Ha ha ha...

I say keep it, there's nothing that can't be fixed. Except for stupidity, that's why my brother never drives anything I own. Anymore.
