Re: 64 F100

Ken,

Sounds good.. Also, where did you get your metal to do the pillars and stuff? What gauge did you get? I bought my floor pans from Dennis Carpenter I believe but I need extra metal for the almost the exact locations you welded in already.

Thanks

Re: 64 F100

Great job Ken.. I am also here in NM.. In Albuquerque though. I am working on my floor mounts now also. Too bad you're not a little closer, I could use some tips on welding as I have never used my MIG on auto yet. Very nice work man :cheers:

Banjo,

Do you know what year of headers will fit my motor from a truck? Is there something special I should look for? Right now I will get used ones until I can afford higher quality ones. I'm just looking to get this motor started for now.

Thanks

Use your original throttle cable for the 352 V8. The linkage for the 300 6 might work, but it is longer and might not work due to binding. You will need to fabricate a throttle cable stand that bolts to the intake and holds the throttle cable in place. I used the upper half of the FE type, and the ...

Banjo, Thanks a lot for the help.. I really do appreciate it and I guarantee I will do the same for the next rookie that needs help because of you. On another subject, what headers did you use because I have read I can't use the stock headers due to clearance? Is that true? I haven't tried putting t...

Banjo, Told you I would have questions... lol I put the adaptor in and in the picture below, you have a screw with a spring installed. The adaptor instructions don't show to install this but it did come with an extra screw and spring just like you have circled. Am I suppose to put this in? What is i...

460 with Edelbrock Carb

Hey Guys, This question may be only for you with 460's but maybe anybody can chime in. I'm not familiar with carbs and linkages and so forth, but does anybody have a picture of the carb hooked up to the kickdown and throttle. I got the new carb and don't know if I need more parts. I got a short nipp...

Banjo,

How does the electric choke work? Sorry I've never done this part before. Does it get wired to something else?

Thanks

Santi, don't get any carb larger than 600 CFM, unless you plan to drag or race or mud or want the wow factor. I started with a 750 CFM, and although it ran well and gave me lots of power, it ran rich. Changed over to a 600, and mileage went up and power stayed the same for regular truck type duties...

Ok so I guess I misread the diagram and thought that bracket (6054) went below the crossmember. After William wrote the last message I then looked at it again and realized I was wrong. I drilled holes in the crossmember and was going to run bolts through the crossmember and brace the tranny. Will th...
