HI all, I always been a motorhead in sum way. I was big into the mud trucks years ago ,but now that I'm older I hate being dirty. About 9 years ago I got a 1960 f100 truck from my sister who drove it from calf. to minn. The truck was in great shape rust wise. I think I paid $500. for the truck and drove for a few months. I really liked the feel of a old truck that wasn't full of mud. My plan was to put a small block chevy in and a paint job , and have a nice cruzin around truck!! Well that didn't happen.. I got way carried away.. Frame off, boxed frame rail ,sandblast, tubbed, mustang II front end, 4-link rear, air bags all around, 4 wheel disc and so on. Fast forward 9 years. I just started working on this winter . I had the motor in my dads basement halfway put together, with the help of 3 buddies we pulled it out and got it back to my place. I finish putin it together,and took it to the dyno. This little 350 .060 over ,made 478 hp @ 6500 rpm on pump gas!! I just about shit myself!! Now I'm so excited to finish it. The dyno was a good motovator for me. Well that about sum me up!! thanks, daye
