Muffler Recommendations? Straight-Piped ATM
A FLO-PRO twister muffler/resonator is a simple and relatively inexpensive bottle style unit that really cuts down on drone and high RPM exhaust rap. Leaves you with a very satisfying low rumble and growl and doesn't restrict flow much at all.- CADHOWDY

EBAY TURBO BUILD
As of now the block, heads, and rotating assembly is with the machinist with a down payment. The block has already been rebuilt once at .030 over and it is good to go with another oversize to .040. The rotating assembly will be balanced and the heads are getting all new valves, springs and...- CADHOWDY

EBAY TURBO BUILD
That is good to know. I think with the way I plan to set my system up, when and if this one fails, it will make for a fairly easy swap in the future. Maybe all of these turbos come with the same piece of paper but it shows that it was tested and there are relief marks on the turbines like it has...- CADHOWDY

Unique Modifications
I've been finding ways of adding gauges and other custom functions in and around the dash so as not having to sacrifice any other functions. All of my factory gauges work but I wanted real measurement values and I didn't want to modify the factory cluster too fit other gauges. This mini...- CADHOWDY

EBAY TURBO BUILD
So I am in the works with available time and resources of building up a turbo'ed, bored 6.9L with studs. I've posted in another thread on what I have as far as turbo kit goes. (https://www.oilburners.net/threads/rotomaster.39084/#post-1051719) The original turbo was in fair shape save for a...- CADHOWDY

D 60 swap
I swapped out my TTB D50 front end for a D60 in my 1984 250 and It’s true with what Golden Helmet said and What’s been said about the hubs, spindles and rotors. All swapped over for me. I found the track bar bracket mounted exactly where the passenger side traction beam pivot bracket was. And...- CADHOWDY

-40 winters and starting
I get that a regular block heater might not be enough if it gets cold enough. I have a plug in circulation coolant heater that gets the engine hot enough you can feel the heat radiate from it in -15 weather. It’s plumed in down low on the frame with an auxiliary coolant port underneath the...- CADHOWDY

Rotomaster
I guess this is kinda reviving an old thread but I figured I could put some more pictures and info up. This is a truck that i bought off of a neighbor that I've always had plans for rebuilding and using in my own truck. The way the kit mounts the air cleaner is similar to older hypermax...- CADHOWDY

Tachometer Add on
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1609606-putting-a-tach-in-the-6-9-a.html It’s not my thread but it shows almost exactly what I did with the very same tach. I’ve used it for a year now and it works great. It just runs off of the field terminal on the alternator.- CADHOWDY
