I figured the 406 would get ya to click . .

Anyone else take advantage of the new 406 500hp 1200tq in a Regular Cab Pickup?
which of course is the 6.7 HO

I ordered a new 2023 F250 XL Regular Cab 4x4 base model with the 406 HO
Thinking this very well could be a 13 second factory F250?

The new HO is supposed to be only 10% of engine production for the new 2023 F series trucks

Thought about doing a 4x2 but adding 4x4 only around 2500 more and figured it would be needed for traction
My dealer said they could have truck of my choice built in 6 weeks or less and I could order whatever I wanted as long as it was Lariat or under trim.
I ordered with Lightest possible 4x4 and did narrowest tire and tallest gear 3.31 Locking of course.
Did not notice until I got the window sticker it will have manual hubs

Ordered April 11, 2023 it had VIN April 13th and sent to plant in production on April 20th. Build day of April 29th which was Saturday.
Have not verified it was actually built but the KY truck plant has been spot on.

Should  be a great Hot ROD that will tow 20,000 bumper pull and 22,700 on gooseneck 5th wheel which I also ordered along with Camper Special Package.

Should be a fun truck and after selling the F100R this would be great addition.

By early reports 25 MPG could be possible with this combo. Less the 131 lb 12,000 lb factory ordered winch Curb weight expected to be 7011 lbs.

Non-FE Discussion Forum / 2.8 hp per cu in at tire on my 1966 F100 pump gas
« on: November 10, 2021, 03:46:06 PM »
Made a trip to the dyno to test the 213 cu in 6 this morning.

E51 pump gas here in az it made 602.93 hp @ 5675 hp and 658.2 TQ @ 3467 rpm at Tire!

That was when the torque management system said that was enough and closed the throttle a few times during run. 

Now back to the FE projects . . .

Same truck as with the 482 FE but now with Raptor 450/510 Crate engine and 10R80 Auto.

I thought a few might want to see the conversion.

I already have 2 FE powered '66 Trucks plus a fresh 393 FE for another '66 on engine stand plus 2 391 FT powered big trucks. Too boring to have them all same engine family.

Quickie vid of first test drive just around the yard prior to installing front clip.

Front clip on now.

With TUNE ONLY on E50 I am shooting for 600/600 at tire. (Using 7th gear which is 1 to 1)  Lofty goal yes but I think I can hit that number and still get 25 mpg @ 60-65 MPH.

Building this as a long distance cruiser with 900 Mile cruise range on single fill.

Since a local machine shop ruined my last 3 FE blocks and have a bunch of other FE part left over I am in need of a machined-ready 352 or 390 block with align hone done and pistons fitted.

I have a bunch of std std ready to go 352 or 390 cranks but will consider a done block with just a very basic rotating assy, cast pistons are fine.
For a daily driver very low rpm engine that will prob rarely if ever see 4000 rpm.  I just want a good ring seal & good machine work that here takes many many months.

352, 390 or 410. Good ring seal and align hone highest on list. Gotta last a while.

Balancing I can get done quickly if needed. 
So  a machined ready to go block and pistons or a balanced assy with block is fine.

Or maybe a already done short block.  428 style stock cam is all that is needed/wanted   9-9.5 compression with C6AE-R heads.

This is for a clone of my Dad's '66 F100 he bought new.  I already have a factory 3 spd overdrive or a fresh c6 with a GV OD that will go in it. ALso have a fresh 1966 Fairlane GT carb from Drew. I am first on the list for the new 406 manifolds from kugelkomponents. Have a set of the Mercury Script covers from Jay etc

Private Classifieds / Wanted 390 Rods, maybe rotating assy.
« on: September 11, 2019, 04:46:49 PM »
I had my last 3 FE blocks at local machine shop and they have destroyed it all with crappy machine work.

Messed up align hone on all 3 blocks by mixing up caps then did more caps from other blocks and tried to fix with align hone.
blocks are all toast with .0045 to .009" off at parting line. Caps are all angle cut so far its unreal. I could have done better with a blindfold and a homemade file.

I was building a basic 410 for my '66 F100 Short Bed. I had one basic 390 sold to help cover costs of mine but its all gone south now. The mains on the 1U crank I had were barrel shaped and its near impossible in Phoenix area to find anyone that can properly turn a crank.

Looking for a Nice set of untouched 390/428 Rods.

Depending on what is out there and avail now may buy a rotating assy.

I did find a std bore 390 block hoping I can use for the build.

What do you have?

For new rotating assemblies which ones are good out of box? if any . . Looking at a Scat 4.125 (because its readily avail)

Would like to be 9.0 to 9.5 compression on a zero deck deal.

Has anyone tried either of these systems? How do you think either would work on a 410 using one of the latest heads from Barry, BBM or TFS?
With pretty mild Hydraulic Roller cam & around 9.5 Comp

FE Technical Forum / Thermostat housing for large tstat.
« on: June 08, 2018, 04:53:32 PM »
Anyone know a application for a large tstat housing with extra port?
I know some of the 68 up had them but thought they were all small stat.

Hoping to fire 482 soon & need original port on Tunnel Wedge
For the EFI sensor.

Bought this pair of Quick Fuel 750's for my 482 Project

1000.00 OBO

Decided to go with EFI instead.

These carbs no longer needed

New never used or had gas in them.

FE Technical Forum / 51 year old FE powered F-100 gets 20+ MPG!
« on: September 21, 2017, 01:51:28 PM »
I was finally able to get a few things resolved with my 352 Powered 1966 F-100 Ranger.

This is a bone stock F-100 as it left the factory back in 1966!

Equipped with a 352 with 3spd OD trans and 3.25 gearing for a 2.275 final gear.

The OD unit did not work when purchased and was in dire need of a tuneup. Took a few weeks to figure out the operation of the factory OD.

I did some testing to correct speedometer to read actual for exact info.  Right now in a 81.1 mile loop I was able to get 20.77888 MPG!

I did replace the stock distributor with a new over the counter so I would have proper vacuum advance.

12 deg initial timing with 32 total plus vacuum (I might be able to tweak more to see if any further gains)

87 octane fuel

81.1 miles in a "sipping" 3.903 gallons. Filling each time so it was up to brim.

I think this is fantastic that the technology was there back in 1965-66 but so few people chose it.

This particular ranger is one of only 3 known to exist with the 3spd OD trans for 1965-66 Trucks including ALL engines.

Running 15w40 Diesel oil

Engine has never been apart all original to the truck components (except dist.)

180 deg thermostat stock radiator

Truck also has Factory Power Brakes & Power Steering

This was running the FREEZING cold Dealer installed A/C

Max speed was 65 mph with a typical cruise around 60-62 a few stops in light traffic no extended sitting times.

3 months ago I picked up a one family owned since new 1966 f100 with all available only INC the BW
3spd OverDrive trans. OverDrive did not work so have been tinkering with it. Finally
Got it to work. Tired of the 12.5 mpg. What a wonderful transmission. Truck has a special
Order 3.25 gear and with .7 OverDrive it's a final drive of 2.275. 2000 rpm gives me
73 MPH! Now for a bit of tuning to see if I can get mid teens in mpg.
Love the way this trans works with auto kickdown etc.
anyone else running one? Sure beats other cost alternatives.

Still have My 482 '66 Pickup & numerous other FE's but thought it would be fun to build a real sleeper before I hang up the tools for good.

Would like to have had it a FE but for the HP level I wanted it was just not going to work. Mostly a parts avail issue and the bore stroke combo I was looking for.

Doing a Twin Turbo Boss 429 that will hopefully handle 3000 hp. Initially it will not be near that but the parts will be there . .

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Project's Update
« on: November 22, 2016, 07:00:10 PM »
Still have 2 FE powered trucks but wanted to have a couple with late model EFI power. Just because . .

I have been driving the one I call Eco 1. Its a 1966 F-250 Base model I picked up for 300.00

I ended up purchasing a new 126" W.B. Frame and installing the complete drivetrain, suspension, EPAS onto it. Along with entire late model F150 dash.
Very nice driving rig. It would simply have cost too much to upgrade, steering, suspension, brakes, interior. A bunch cheaper to buy a complete low mile donor and borrow all the parts I could.

Aluminum wheels had to be custom made to utilize the NOS 1966 F100 hubcaps. Also needed to clear the 14" Disc Brakes.

From GoodGuys this past weekend.





Evening out to eat at local pizza joint.



New F150 Dash assy







All working electronics etc. Fantastic power, comfort & mpg. Only operable truck at the moment and my daily (when its not raining) I added the Class IV hitch too. Good for 10,500 lbs.
