The 78-79 f series is my favorite truck of all time. My dad has about 7 of them on his farm just rusting away sadly.

Pirate Mafia · 09-17-2013, 10:36 AM

I see alot of them but they are all regular cab and I dont like that look on the older fords

This one caught my eye and should do nicely at auction

heisman01 · 09-17-2013, 11:08 AM

hes got 2 or 3 super cabs the rest are all regular cabs.

a regular cab step side would be my personal favorite

Pirate Mafia · 09-17-2013, 11:12 AM

Boooooo

Grab a few that your dad has sitting and piece the best parts together

Looks great. You'll enjoy that manifold. What size charger you going to run?

Pirate Mafia · 09-19-2013, 01:18 PM

He wants to go twin s475's specifically, I want a single 64/71/14

ICB(In Cold Blood) · 09-19-2013, 02:23 PM

Isn't the above engine going in your '78 Ford?

Anything else done to the engine?

Pirate Mafia · 09-19-2013, 03:08 PM

Yea, want it to be setup to tow

That engine block alone has about $5k into it

evil dutch · 09-21-2013, 03:28 PM

I want another project. However, buying a farm is a little higher on the priority list.

Finished my 05 swap, need to install the side brackets on the bumper to line the fender and bumper up better just haven't had time.

My old b!tch. 95' Chevy K2500, 6.5 Detroit Diesel, 4WD. No crazy mods yet, just straight piped into a 6" chrome mitre cut stack, cone air filter, leveled. Turbo's shot, think a bearing popped, shredded the turbine on the blower side. Think im gonna put a he341 in to replace it. Thoughts?

If you're thinking about an HE341, it might be worth it to find a non-variable 351. Just a thought. I've been on the hunt for a low mileage/rebuilt one for my 03 Cummins.
