1969 F100 on the dragstrip

In 1992, the local Ford club rented Quakercity Raceway and this is my first pass of the day. Cut a perfect light(look at scoreboard) and ran 13.40 @ 96 MPH on an old set of Goodyear slicks.

You do anything to the rear suspension? All i have done to mine so far is a streetmaster intake, 625 carter, and headers and I can't seem to hook at all even if I don't dump the clutch. I want to port the heads and add a bigger cam, but it might be pointless if it can't hook. Tires are a lot bigger than stock too.

I used to just have a few extra spring clamps holding the springs tight and it really helped. I then put a set of ladder bars on it(stock springs) and it really plants the tires.

@59Mack what ladder bar system did you go with? i want to do it to mine, but i'm not sure how.

[59Mack]

@DJhenderlong Just your basic adjustable bars. I'm thinking of changing over to coil overs, but haven't decided yet.

@randall2051 You should come over to fordfe d0t com. The search function alone is a virtual treasure trove of FE information.

@fordboy111591  460 429 same block both have 4.36 bores. strokes are 3.59 on 429 3.85 on 460 so why is 429 better than 460 when building an engine?

[randall2051]

what is it winding at he end of 1/4 "rpm"? are you running solid or hyd lifters? if soild any problems bending push rods over 5800 rpm? factory rocker rails? im going to try a 410 with COAE-D HEADS 60CC chambers with flat top pistons externally balanced set up i hope i get it right..any problems with yours that you might do different? mine is going in 72 f100 shortwide. 456 ratio full spool 4000 stall . havent chose the cam ,springs and lifters yet will let the pros reconmend this. thanks

[VaeVictus420]

@fordboy111591 isnt there a 360 fe too? i might be wrong.

AWESOME!! Glad to see someone on youtube that knows how to build a Ford and not just drop a cookie cutter BBC into their rod and call it done. GOOD SHOW!! I have a 351C that'll be going into my 1969 F100 Sport Custom.
