    Heres some more pictures. The interrior really isn't really bad. Need to get my seat recovered, and some floormats, and weather stripping that i need for the doors and windows. Dash pad wouldn't be a bad thing either.

    That would be a 460 from a 69 Lincoln. Early D0VE block that has high compression heads (Best ones you can get unless you go to Aluminum.) It has a Holley 750cfm carb on it. Engine will definetly come out and the compartment will be cleaned up and painted (Along with the engine) Hopefully sometime get headers and stainless steel braided fuel lines and what not also.

    edit: I forgot to mention that the engine puts out fairly close to 400hp (In the 375-380 neighborhood with 500ft lbs of torque)

    Yeah its an awesome engine for power but it sucks though the gas in a mighty big way. Put 5 gallons in it from a can, you spin around a few minutes in the feild and your empty :P

    Nice Truck!!

    I love the 460 engine as well as the 7.3 TD and the new 6.0 TD
    I the next few years I will be looking for a mid 70's to early '90's F-350 with the 460 or 7.3 in it.
    It looks like you got your work cut out for you so I wish you good luck and good times in her

    but I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe De Ville." -Any country boys know who sang that?

    I got an 8ft bed that never has to be made, you know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates.

    Heres some recent pictures from the other day with my daily driver pulling our 20ft goosneck trailer (Probably my rig for Haspin next year) with my 77 F-250 on it. My dad and I took it by a body shop that morning and let them check it out.
