Slick 60's

hello,
i'm reading some time now and i thought it is time to join you.
bought myself a 1965 ford f100 that has a 514 cui stroker.
it has a pro street set up and has some work.
since i live in the netherlands (europe) it's not easy for me to get parts and stuff
hope to get advice and some ford minded friends over here.
will post some pic's later.

greetings from the netherlands (europe)

see ya

Hey There, Welcome Twan. You have come to THE Best PLACE for Info & comeradery with and on Slick 60sTrucks

What part of the Netherlands are you from? I have a friend in Amsterdam named Heezan. He deals in American special interest cars and trucks. As for Slick 60's it's always good to see a new face and hear a new name of a fellow Slick Owner, especially from across the big pond.
Hope you enjoy the website and the forums here. It is a great bunch of folks here at this website.

Welcome aboard, sounds like you have a pretty cool play toy!

514 huh?

Made a few of jealous here already!

Welcome

Twan,
Is your 514 based on a 385 series (aka 460) FoMoCo Block? If so I can turn you on to a site that is very heavy into that sort of thing.

I thought I had an Idea about those 385 series engines but I have learned more than I knew and realize I knew a lot less than there is to learn. . . .

My 460 is no slouch. I get clean 12.60s from it, but It could do better after visiting site I made reference to for a few months. It's a deeping or enlightening of my consciousness when I am on there. I have learned a text book full just about cylinder Heads & Big Cube Blocks. . .

514=COOL!

Hey Twan, Welcome!
I'm new here too and learning a lot here every day.

I admit I laughed at the "Europe" explanation of where the Netherlands is. We're not completely stupid over here.

My crusty 62 has a 429 and my 70 fairlane is a 466. Gotta love the torque.

You hang much on 460ford.com? That's a great forum for 385 series tech.

Welcome Twan

Sounds like you got yourself a nice truck.

any pics?

thank's guy's,

my 514 is based on a '71 460, has trick flow aluminum heads, mighty demon and headers.

it's work in progress.
@ fordboypete
what is the site you are refering to?

@ heavyhauler
i don't think you're stupid but it seems there is a netherland in the states also so i put in.

see ya
twan

here some pic's..




the engine





the interior






when i picked it up when it came off the boat

Well Look At That ! Great Pix . . . . . . Sweeeeet Ride too

Now there is a serious ride folks! THAT"S WHAT I'm Talking about!

I have a "thing" about C9VE thru D1VE Blocks myself.

There is just something about those early year engines I like. After them FoMoCo
& the US GOV started to mess with them and tweak this or that, all at some cost or loss
. . . . . . at least in my opinion.

The site is the one Heavy Hauler mentioned also.

Holy Cow
That's one Mean Looking Slick you got there.

I use to do some online racing with a few guys from the netherlands (Dutch) Does the LadyBird Skatepark ring any bells?

Welcome aboard

Damn, that's an Awesome truck.

That is one cool truck!

Pete what are you talking about "early year engine?"

That is sweet looking man,

Very nice.

Very nice.

Hey Twan, welcome to the club!

If you can scrape together a few thousand euros and fill up the tank, head up the road to the autobahn and let 'er riiiiiiip!!!!

Wouldn't you just love to see a Slick tearing down the highway weaving inbetween all of the pointy, euro, jellybeans?!

Man, thats awesome
