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...
Holley 4150 750CFM Carb (double pumper) - new throttle plate and jets for 900CFM
WEIAND STEALTH Intake
New coolant/hoses
ACCEL Wires
MSD Cap and Rotor
Bosch plugs
Rewired the interior after an electrical fire
Added a full stereo and added 4 speakers to the stock 2...
Front passenger Fender
Two doors
Eliminated power windows and locks for the XL interior
Tool Box
Still needs :::
Rear main
OIl Pain Gasket
Oil Filter Relocation Kit
Tranny pan and filter
6 new 10-12ply tires
Paint
New Guages
Inerior revamping (seats)
Then it should be close to done - or not... projects are never done...
