Best Sounding Ford 300 on Youtube

Comp 268 cam, 72mm turbo, Holley Sniper EFI, MSD ignition, HEI distributor, etc.

Wasted paycheck? Nah. That's the stuff 💪

[@davesalzer3220]

I bet that thing is a blast in the snow, all that torque and no weight.

[@jaredherrera8664]

O got a 93 single cab with the 300 and some 4.56 gears front and back, about the most fun you can

[@calebnezat8418]

@@jaredherrera8664 my 95 can get them spinning at 50 easy in the snow with stock 2.73s

[@jaredherrera8664]

@@calebnezat8418 yep, that's what I had in there stock and they were cool, but 4.56 gears was a game changer, it's a whole different truck noa

I have 1987 ford bronco and Eddie Bauer f150 both 4.9300 I have on that f150 true dual to start back side tips 2/1/2 whit flow master super 10 whit 5 sped manual transmission it sound realy good

[@obsessivegarage921]

@davesalzer3220 my 1978 F-150 weights 6,100 lbs... that truck is all pure steel my friend. Lots of weight.

[@TheTurnerFarm]

Sounds amazing. Love the truck. Got a similar one myself. 1979 F-250 4x4 with a 460 and ZF5 swap that I drive everyday. I love my 460 but I’m jealous of that 300.

[@myk1_sp]

How's the performance with the ZF5 compared to the T19 (I think)?

[@TheTurnerFarm]

@@myk1_sp mine had a C6 auto before I swapped in the ZF5. I did the ZF5 for the overdrive and it works good but the shifting is not that great on mine but I got is used/rebuilt so who knows the internal condition. So far I’ve got 15k miles on it with no issues.

[@myk1_sp]

@@TheTurnerFarm That's an awesome swap! I hope it's treating you well. :)

[@jedisentinel1499]

First and last truck you’ll ever need. Damn shame Ford stopped producing the 300

[@myk1_sp]

Thing sounds like a damn tractor! Inline 6s are so underrated IMO, even now.

[@gavinmorrison7567]

Sounds like a tractor

[@wyattshelton2080]

Don't know the 300l6 huh? Lol

[@WARD5KUSTOMZ]

That gauge cluster is clean!

[@forgottenwarrior1776]

And here I was thinking I'd never get mine to sound good without a V8 swap. Very nice 👌

[@jore551]

meanwhile i cant get my 300 to work lol but ur right best sounding one i have ever heard

[@CaptainGoldbeered]

You ever get it going?

[@jore551]

@CaptainGoldbeered ya I swaped it 351w and zf5

What exhaust is it?

That rev limiter sounds so good 🥴

[@kingshawn1857]

No wasted paycheck here bro lol had an 84 f150 i6 I'm a v8 lover to my core but I've never been more in love with a 6 cylinder engine pulled loads it had no business attempting with no fuss

[@myk1_sp]

That's the power of inline 6s with big stroke!

[@kingshawn1857]

@@myk1_sp you already know 👍👍

[@myk1_sp]

@@kingshawn1857 The only inline 6 I've driven is an AMC 258/4.2l in my uncle's 1990 Jeep Wrangler YJ Sahara with a stick shift, the engine is wearing out and it burns oil, but it has never stopped after 32 (almost 33) years! I hope to drive a Cummins or another inline 6 some day.

[@kingshawn1857]

@@myk1_sp sounds awesome those i6 engines I really don't understand why ford ever dropped it they should bring them back it's just a little monster

[@myk1_sp]

@kingshawn1857 Yeah, I guess they were "too reliable" and Americans love V8s like no tomorrow. Thankfully BMW and Mercedes still make inline 6s!

[@davebrittain9216]

Everybody has their own opinion and to me it sounds like it needs a muffler. I have had some pretty loud cars but now that I am older I like a more refined power sound.

[@WastedPaycheckGarage]

Honestly me too, it has a muffler but it also has an electric exhaust cutout which was open for this video. I don’t care for how the current flowmaster muffler sounds but changing it out isn’t high on my priority list right now. I actually kind of like the tinny sound of flowmasters, maybe I’ll put one on this summer.

[@tundraboyblue]

Amazing sound right there, nothin runs or sounds as good a s a 300 6 cylinder

[@insertnamehere313]

These older Fords are the only Fords I would buy...not like today's garbage.

[@mikeleatherwood2326]

The economy runs on inline engines. I make my paycheck getting 80,000. Down the road.

[@RustyTurkey.]

Where'd ya get that gauge cluster

[@WastedPaycheckGarage]

New Vintage USA

[@adamdenton7220]

What kind of fuel mileage are you getting with it.

[@WastedPaycheckGarage]

Around 9.5, but my foot is to the floor most of the time

[@Kinginwar]

@@WastedPaycheckGarage was thinking over 20 I have a 300 in a 78 f250 that came out of a E100 w a 4spd stick shift w Always got really good mileage close to 30 on hwy

[@Fordman7575]

Love your truck, it's an awesome build. But for the best sounding 300 on KZbin, I'm gonna have to call you out on that one. Do a little search on the following users and check out their 240/300 big 6's and take a listen. Frenchtown Flyer (500 hp NA drag car, 3 500 cfm Holley 2V on a rare factory prototype crossflow head that buzzes to over 7,000 rpm. ) Greg's a legend when it comes to the 240/300 stuff. Six Gun/SLER racing ( 65 Comet with a 300 destroked to 272ci., it's nasty sounding high rpm screamer ) Profound ( built a couple wicked 300's, one turbo charged, one turbo & supercharged ) wvanw ( Big cam, Holman Moody 4V intake, open headers )

[@jaydencarlson4721]

He cut the cats off and probably straight piped it. My 87 sounded the same but worse cus it had a misfire from bad plugs and plug wires. His actually runs good

[@Tripledoffroadbbq]

That is a nasty sounding 300. Approved content sir. Any plans of a turbo?

[@robthegobbler]

Dude… description

[@brandonswepston1745]

Sounds incredible!

[@WilliamMunny-d8s]

SO whats under there? headers and cutouts? what muffler brand type size etc?

[@bigmeandog849]

Love it, Love it, Love it - Great sound. I have been building early 80 - 86 Fords with 300's and never got that kind of sound.

[@thepitpatrol]

What a beast!

[@PaulWilliam-e9k]

This video is solely responsible for a 300 swap in a ‘47 half ton. The flathead V8 is a pain in the ass, out it will come.

[@daumination247]

He’s speaking the truth, men.

[@Joseph-pg9re]

alright I need to know where you got the gauge cluster and what cam youve got in there. clean ass truck bro

[@WastedPaycheckGarage]

Thank you. The gauge setup is from New Vintage USA, the cam is a comp 268

[@phillthebuilder9966]

That’s a baaadass truck my guy!

[@tylerstockinger9099]

What type of distributor do you run for the efi? Looking for the proper distributor for my 300 I wanna upgrade it with a sniper efi

[@WastedPaycheckGarage]

Using an HEI distributor but I locked out the centrifugal and vacuum advance, along with the GM module, all timing is controlled by an MSD 6AL-2 programmable box

[@moseshancock3336]

I have a 69 f100 pickup

Great truck!

[@robertleobecker742]

@WastedPaycheckGarage: She really sounds like a cool Cummins!

[@lloydratzlaff1551]

Hell ya! Old is new and actually better these days! I’d say the manual choke was a good idea, went with electric choke on a edelbrock 500 on my 300 and wish I’d just done manual choke

BEST EVER Winner of KZbin for sound clip. Best Ford 300. Do it better and post it yourself. Dareyah.

Stock internals and bottom end on this engine, aside from cam and valve train. Stock compression bumped up a little from having the head decked. Running 8psi
