| F-100 build up ? |
| By K-SKI - 10/01/2004 8:47:58 PM; IP 65.166.115.7 |
Hello everyone I'm pondering on a few parts to choose from. I want a fun street sleeper that pulls hard through the gears up to 5500-5800 rpm, not a truck for towing.
My build up goes like this......... 1965 F-100 2WD @ around 4,500 lbs, factory truck 4-speed with that useless granny low, will only use 2-3-4 gears. Rear end gear will be the orginal 3.50 or could swap out for 3.70's haven't decided yet.
The motor is a 390 FE bored .060 over to 401cid, Edelbrock heads and 9.75-10:1 CR 750cfm carb with Performer RPM intake.
Headers and 2 1/2" exhaust.
This is where I'm having a hard time choosing the rest of my parts, the cam choices are Comp Cams 270 Mag, 280 Mag, & 274 Extreme Energy cams, I want to stay with factory style adjustable rockers or even cheaper, the non-adjustable.
And after the cam choice will come the gear selection of 3.50's or 3.70's.
Thanks for any help! |
