Nothing feels better that hearing the engine come to life after all the hard work. Time to button everything up and hit the road! ❤

[@VeteranRevivals]

Can't wait!! 🤙🤙

[@skjoldgames]

Nice build, this is my favorite year of Ford truck. I'm in the process of putting a 429 in my '78 Bronco.

[@VeteranRevivals]

Nice!

[@krisburnau8189]

L&L PRODUCTS are pretty good, as long as you are not in a hurry ... I waited all summer..

[@VeteranRevivals]

For reals.....

[@krisburnau8189]

Where did you find this ford taillights?

[@VeteranRevivals]

LMC Truck

[@richardmartin853]

Its nice to see someone else building a 1966 F250. I have one also, but with a 429.

[@VeteranRevivals]

I love it! It's a beast! 🤙🤙

[@richardmartin853]

That is great. I am in the middle of rust repair so i have not got to drive it yet. Plus doing upgrades like breaks and transmission.

[@VeteranRevivals]

Nice! Soon enough you'll get to enjoy it!

[@DirtyD786]

Awesome!

[@VeteranRevivals]

Thanks!

[@ronniebane3881]

Awesome video, can’t wait to see video of Earl driving. Keep up the good work.

[@VeteranRevivals]

Thank you! And it should be very soon! 🤙🤙

[@obroberts6533]

Right on Art, awesome when a plan comes together.. Oh, greasy hands, I thought that was what the beard was for.. 😅 You know, I think I saw Earl doin a little jig when you weren't looking, but it was his toothless grin that got to me.. 👍👍

[@VeteranRevivals]

Haha, I'm sure he appreciates a couple extra ponies

[@paulwoodman5131]

Can't believe it??.... Yer lookin right at it 😅😊. And Earl is very Happy 😁.

[@VeteranRevivals]

😂😂 yessssssss

[@tackettshoh]

Nice job Art!!

[@VeteranRevivals]

Thanks!

[@jesseduke694]

Also that 460 is of the external balance kind. 79 & later. So carful with ur flywheels.

[@sgtbaxman6720]

As a vet myself, it killed me to see a battered American flag in your past videos. So I appreciated you removing it (and assume it was properly disposed of). Aside from that, I like your videos showing all of the the issues that you come across in your attempts to put things back on the road or improve them. Its the ups and downs that we enjoy watching; Keep up the great work! Semper Fi.

[@VeteranRevivals]

Thank you! I've had that flag for such a long time, it seemed like such a shame to put it out 🤙

[@travelingtech3251]

As a former marine, those worn and battered flags generally have a meaning to some us. I have the ones we flew in Hindu F.O.B and bearded devil sand box hanging my garage so as to never forget

[@darreldwalton8763]

@VeteranIdiot Yeah, We flew one that the Son in law sent that flew over his hospital outside of Baghdad till it wasn't presentable. It's sealed up, and in the cedar chest with my 'stuff"

[@richardtramell5574]

Tail lights are sweet!

[@VeteranRevivals]

Thank you! I love the signature Ford touch!

[@darksider1961]

Putting a 460 in my 65 from a 70 MKIII I bought a few years back, what oil pan did you use, I know it needs to be rear sump but don't know if just any rear sump will work?

[@VeteranRevivals]

I kept the same pan from the motorhome, not sure if there are others that will work

[@darksider1961]

@@VeteranRevivals Thanks for the reply, I have an 88 460 and the pan looks similar to the one you have, it came out of an f350 4wd, I'm thinking on giving it a try.

[@VeteranRevivals]

Should fit!

[@normbarr2894]

is it best to put heaver springs in the front wiith the bigger motor

[@VeteranRevivals]

I haven't had a chance to see if these springs are undersprung yet, but yes sometimes it's necessary.

[@jesseduke694]

Also i think you are the skinny version of Derik! U know who im talkin about! After all, u are the skinny version of him! Lol!

[@VeteranRevivals]

😂😂 I think I'm older, so he's the bigger version of me!

[@jesseduke694]

Why did u buy the fancy shifter if you are useing the C6? I guess I assumed the shifter was for the NP435 4spd?

[@VeteranRevivals]

That Lokar shifter is designed to mimic the shape of the 435 shifter. So from inside the cab it will look like the original truck, but function as an automatic shifter.

[@jesseduke694]

@@VeteranRevivals nice!

[@Im.Richard]

What did you do about the return fuel line?

[@VeteranRevivals]

I plan to put in a nipple on the rubber grommet between the gas tank and filler neck. That's the plan anyways haha

[@justenrodriguez8608]

So I have a 72 dentside 2wd with a 460 but body is to far gone jus motor is great so I got me a 81 f100 2wd but has inline 6 want to swap but need more info tricks tips dos n donts appreciate ur time

[@VeteranRevivals]

Just find some motor mounts for 81 460, and a bigger radiator!

[@justenrodriguez8608]

@@VeteranRevivals would motor mounts from 72 dentside fit? I have both trucks jus haven’t torn them apart yet need to make sure to order everything 😂

[@VeteranRevivals]

I don't know that for sure, but I would assume the frame pedestals are different.

[@justenrodriguez8608]

@@VeteranRevivals appreciate ur time n info

[@trebsr]

seems like evrybody i know who has had a 460, has had oil pump issues ⁉

[@artschertz]

The only issue we had with our last 460 was a knocking wrist pin for 50k that we thought was a lifter 😂

[@loose-arrow-garage]

Earl is looking good. Earlier this afternoon I was flipping through the interwebs looking for a shifter for my 57 Ford Custom with a 302 and an AOD tranny. Still can't decide on which of the many Lokar shifter options but I definitely know what you mean about the big $$ you paid!

[@VeteranRevivals]

Haha, it's painful
