[QUOTE="598, post: 15854344, member: 71706"] The story on the truck goes back a ways. We moved from Louisiana up north when I was a kid, and dad brought this 389 super duty engine that he had raced dirt ovals using, with us. Dirt poor and without a vehicle, dad found a 64 or 65 ford truck with a blown motor and stuck the poncho in as a work truck. 4.11s, tool boxes, and a granny low 4 speed made for some redneck fun. Years go past and dad still had the engine, and I found a guy that wanted to buy it for a factory racer. Deal fell thru, and I had an old Pontiac motor 600 miles away from the folks, but happened to drive past a 65 F100, same color as dads original. Bought it. So I rebuilt the engine, or more correctly over built it, matched it up with a 700R4, and gave it to dad. Scared him to be honest I think, so it never got driven much for the next decade, and now its back in my hands. I feel obligated to make it a driver again. 6 pack always was a PITA, and I think the comp cam might have something to do with that, so if I'm going to be the driver from here on, FI seems to be the way to go. Now I'm finding that the early heads cant use almost any of the aftermarket intakes. Other issue is that I don't want to just throw money at it like I did a decade ago. [/QUOTE]
