O.K, since ya' liked it so much her is a little more info.. it's a 73' F-250 highboy.. the last owner bought it new, and it was NEVER a daily driver.. he used it to pull grain wagons in the fall, and to plow snow in the winter.. also took it to some truck pulls.. pulled in the stock class, and NEVER placed lower than 4th.. it has the super low granny gear.. so it works pretty good for that he said. the bed is off of a newer truck, as you can see from the gas tank doors.. both of them in the bed are not hooked up.. only the one in the cab has a tank. it has a 360, and a C4 tranny. I added I cold air intake to it for a few more ponys. the paint I used was some cheaper paint from ACE hardware.. not sure what brand it is right off hand but it is at least 10 times better then the BPS that TSC sells.. I put 6, yes 6 coats of primer on it, the paint you see is only the first coat. it has tractor mufflers.. so it is pretty darn loud.. there might be louder trucks out there, but not legal ones.. ;-).. done got a verbal warning for this one.. so I try to take it easy around cops now.. as soon as I sell my second cutting alfalfa I am going to put in a crate motor.. any idea what would be the best way to go on that? if you have any other questions PLEASE ASK! I love talking about my truck.. love it to death.. :)

Have fun with your toy,Tim. With a FE series 360 engine,I would bet you have a C6 (aluminum center case) ot atleast a FMX trans(iron center case section). I don't know that I have ever seen a bellhousing that would bolt a C4 trans to a FE engine. Several engine rebuilders make stroker FE engines in the 450-500 CI range. They are real torque monsters.

You need to be careful adding horsepower to the old girl.....you are going to start tearing up old tired parts.....

I have been building big engines all my life.....all new or rebuilt drive train is required and I dont mean stock parts.....

If it is running why do you want to replace the motor. One thing I learned a long time ago, is- if it works don't fix it. Stan
