1979 ford bronco, lincoln 460 and c6, cab swap to a 79 f150, flatdeck

[spiderpigathome]

my 73 f250 highboy has a 460 and it hauls like a bat out of hell

[JudgeSteelflax]

what is the redline on these 390's? i don't have a tach so i never know how fast its turning. It's loud so it may sound faster then it actually is.

[390MUDDIN]

Shit I'd say like 4500... but most of your usable torque (depending on gearing) is between1500-3800. Mine pulls like a son bitch in that rpm range... beyond that it lags a bit. Got some hookers and comin in on friday... intake manifold shortly there after. Hope to boost the top end hp up a little more. Those 390's got a solid block- your only limitation is your pocket book.

[Thinker669]

Good luck workin' on your ride. Those 390 FEs are badass with a lotta horsepower and good gearing.

[Hotrodx199]

@JudgeSteelflax On bone stock, i would say 4600-5000. I would not go anything past 5000, you would be really pushing it to beyond the limit. With 4:11s and a NP435, my dads 76 F250 with 390 with single burnt glasspack was pretty obnoxious at 3rd gear going 55, i imagine the rpms was getting close to 4500.

nice looking and sounding ford truck!!

[123ewq]

do you know where you can get those mirrors from? i must have watched your videos 10 times man, great vids!

[ScottF250]

Junk yard, Ebay, post what your looking for on some of the Ford truck Forums

[Thinker669]

Nice F250, my dad had an '76 highboy with the same 4 speed and same 390. His was blue and rusted.

Does yours have front disc brakes?

Those are cool slotted mag wheels on yours. And also that's a great song too.

[ShaneT87]

cab swap huh

[ScottF250]

No. Thats the original cab.

[rebelman108]

man I can't wait till I get my 390 in my 69 mach 1.

edbok heads will net you 550-600 plus horsepower ported and with oversized valves.

im building a 72 f250 crew cab with a divorced transfer case with a 429 thunder jet

[HC73MLB]

I love this truck. I just finished restoring and rebuilding my 1979 F-250 4x4 with a 408 and super 44s with cut outs. Its now painted orange with a black stripe down the side and black cab top. I named it "tigger" as well. lol

I love your truck and looked for months to find a set of slotted rims like on your truck. No luck but I like my Alcoas pretty well. NICE TRUCK.

[daneisuzu91]

looks like georgetown,ky. i,m in lexington,ky and i have a 78

[ScottF250]

Great! Hope youll be putting up some videos! Always nice to have another local on here!

[ugly4x4]

NICE TRUCK!! what size motor is in it and what mods have you done?

[ScottF250]

Its a 390 FE thats bored, Balanced, still have the stock heads on it, but they have been heavily ported so they flow pretty good, edelbrock single plane intake, 750 cfm holley, Long Tube Headers, upgraded ignition, in this video it had a very Mild Cam, in the later ones it has a very large Comp Cams Cam. Have to run 93 Octane and a Octane Booster or Visit my VP Dealer for some 110 ..

[DamnTheDoubleNickle]

how fast you rekon shell go with the stock 4-speed? what rear gears you got?

[ScottF250]

Im not 100% sure on the top speed. Ive out run a 1996 Ranger thou so around or over 100 faster than it or I need to go thats for sure!

[DamnTheDoubleNickle]

is that with the NP435 tranny, and 4.10s?

[ScottF250]

Yep.

[dallasandrew]

[ScottF250]

built the motor when I was in HS. Heads are ported/polished, decked .010, bored .030, Comp Cams Cam (just changed it to a 280) Larger valves in the heads, headers, Cherry bomb glasspacks (going in favor of flowmasters)

[croscoe85]
