Im a newbie... specialy to the V8 World...
 

Well, to start out, my name is Matt and i am from Manhattan Kansas, currently going to school out here. Moved here from FL and owned a 89 Honda Prelude SiR that would run 10's in the 1/4mile... but, you all dont want to hear about that so, ill tell you about my FORD.

I bought a 1983 Ford F350 Dually 460 7.5Labout 9months ago and it was a hunk of junk at the time. Had a marine MOTOCRAFT carburator on it, the rotor blew up as i drove it home, the plugs were fowled... it wasa POS.

So, i turned it around, its already been through so many changes. but, ill list the posotives ive done to since i got it...

Still needs :::

Then it should be close to done - or not... projects are never done...
