My buddy has an F700 0r 800, forget which it has been debadged, with your dash style in it. Truck is a 97 or 98. Also has a P-pumped 24v Cummins in it. Strange to see that body style with a dash that old in it. They used up old inventory to build those medium duty trucks.

BTW I have an old wood grained instrument cluster bezel. Came from an 89 Dodge Cummins.
Yup, I know, a Dodge. Just want to find a good home for it. Free 'cept for the ride.

Yeah, well, I'll have 160hp and 276ftlbs at 2100rpms when I get mine all put together.



You had pics of that coming out a bit ago. We need pics at a minimum going in. But a video after is mandatory!

Bored too, I would presume? I'm a little rusty here. Been quite some time I played with V8s, and never did play with the Fords. Just stock stuff. Most I ever had was a 460 in my 96. She's gettin a 6.7l 12v Cummins in the near future.
The 460 and C6 will be up for sail when I start rippin it all apart.

I will get pics. Been waiting for this motor for awhile. Buying parts is hard right now. Went with a roller cam because of flat hydraulic lifter failures. Seems no one is selling good lifters. Used lunati hydraulic rollers and had issues with plungers sticking. Was able to get a set of howard lifters and they were good.

Um...

87 up interior looks better to me......but the 86 down front end looks better.

Apparently, nobody else read that the way I did...

I like Steve's interior better.....but the Bull's front end.

To heck with these other guys' suggestions. I say you should stuff a race-built turbo 2.3 in there.

Or, be like DeBoss:
