The last one I done from the ground up. Looking at buying it back as I should have never sold it. Clickey> http://www.thedieselgarage.com/TOTM/apr07.htm for details.

That's exactly what I want to do with my next '79! Just I think I want a non turbo 7.3 instead of a 6.9. Why did you chose the 6.9?

IDIeselman

Well, it chose me. I knew many 7.3's suffered from cavatation as they are basically an over bored 6.9 and thus have very thin cylinder walls. I had two engines to start with and when sonic checking the cylinder walls the 7.3 was too thin to gamble on so I built the 6.9.

Alright, now when I finally have time/ money I'll figure out which engine I'll use

I have a 1977 Ford F150 Ranger XLT. Bought it last spring. It was sad, lonely, and neglected. It ran and was in pretty good shape, but needed a little love. I have replaced the ignition coil, distributor, and plug wires. So no it fires up every time I turn the key. I have put a new rear tank and sending unit. The rear brake cylinders and shoes were just replaced today. The engine is a 400. Here are some pics.

Nice! It looks real good premiered! Can't wait to see it painted in the green. Are you going to two tone the green?
