Very impressive for the weight you are carrying!On my truck i have home built a "latter bar" set up with air bags and shocks nothing special.

the bottom end is STOCK the motor was rebuilt in 1996 back to stock specs with no intent on racing. But that all changed a couple years after i had it rebuilt. original everything other than new pistons.

This motor right now doesn't pull very hard past 5500rpms. How hard can i turn a "stock" bottom end? i am up for ANY suggestion for a cam thinking of a solid instead of a hydraulic.
As far as the weight. torino front clip, short wheel base, fuel cell in the back, home made latter bars with airbags on the rear, early bronco 9in housing, It is no more than 3500lbs i weighed it this summer.
I'm not so sure about 4000 stall but i will check with my converter company. I work for a small tranny shop so i get stuff for cost.
Sorry to say but I'm on a small budjet so i think a cam change and decking the block is more along the lines right now. is this along the right lines? I would just love to build the hell out of this but the family comes first.
I'm also working on trying to get two 428 irrigation engines but one has a hole in the block from a rod and the other has a hole in the timing cover from the timing chain coming apart PLUS both have been outside for a few years.

I am looking to buy a manual steering gear box. I think anyone from 65 to late 70s ford fullsize car will work. pitman arm and rag joint would be good also.
Also looking for stock adjustable rocker arms for a FE.
Thanks
Aaron

I have had my 428 for quite a number of years now but i REALLY don't know much about how to make them really run. He is a run down on what i have so far.
66 428 4v out of a 66 2door LTD(now deceased)
rebuilt in 1996
30 over bore
10/10 crank
stock compression 10.5
out of the box Edy heads
streetmaster single plane intake (previously modified not by me)
Holley 850 double pumper
crower cam 16255
280/288 duration
549/550 lift
108 centerline
duration @.050 224/232
last but not least 125 shot of nitrous
hooker supercomp headers
I am pulling the motor out and I'm going to tear it down to inspect for any wear. i have never had the oil pan off this motor since it was rebuilt in 96. the mods have come over time since the rebuild. This is mainly a good day beat around truck that goes to the drag strip a few times a year. I really have no "problems" with the motor other than a little noise at steady throttle. Nitrous has only been on the motor for 3 years.
What mods should i do to the oiling system when i have it apart if any. it already has a high volume pump on it. oil pressure is about 75ish when cold and 20plus when hot.
I would like to make a little more NA power. I am on a small budget. what would help me the most cam, higher compression, different carb?
? I don't want to turn this motor over 6000rpms.
This motor is in a 65 f-100 swb that weighs about 3450lbs.
ANY info will be great. please feel free to ask any questions you may have on this. Don't bash me to hard I'm still learning. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

This is my first vehicle i bought when i turned 16 back in 1994. It started life as a 240 6cyl and 4speed. When i got bored with that i put in a 352 and an automatic. A year later my dads 66 2door LTD got totaled out which happened to have a 4v 428 with a c-6 trans. I wanted more motor and we joined the two together along with a torino front stub and lowering the rear. We had the motor rebuilt to stock specs and trans rebuilt also.
I had a friend introduce me to the world of drag racing. I was hooked and the truck has been a work in progress ever since. The best quarter mile run so far has been 11.96 @110mph.

Hey Guys
Hi my name is Aaron from norfolk nebraska. I own a 65 f-100 with a 428 fe hiding under the hood. I play a little bit at the dragstrip and have been able to muster up 11.96@110mph this last fall. I like the way this site is set up vs the "other" site. I hope to gain alot of info from u guys as i plan on pulling my fe this winter to CHECK it out as it has been together now for 15yrs from a rebuild.
