The blower probably starts on hi so as the blower slows down from age and lack of oil it still spins a little and doesn't burn up.

The flywheel from a Y block will fit and balance on a 223. The advantage is you can get the larger 11 inch clutch. Also if you get the Y block flywheel from the larger F 600 truck its heavier. It stores more energy and helps with that first gear take off.

Still lovin' the Duff cam! I was plowing through snowdrifts in Washington state in my 77 Dodge Aspen about 20+ years ago and I hit a really big one. I had enough momentum to get through it but as soon as I hit it the engine compartment was stone dead quiet! Pulled over and to my surprise the engine was still running, popped the hood and it was packed up to the hood! The only thing you could see was the fan blade turning. The old slant 6 never missed a beat though, and that car went through anything I could throw at it!

Some later Ford inline sixes had the intake cast integral with the head. Owners have cut extra holes into the top of the intake and brazed one or two more spouts for carbs. Cheap and can be done neatly. Same can be done for dual exhaust. Transmission is probably limited to a t5 adapted to the stock bell. I don't know if an RUG will fit that bell.

About a 1% chance of rain this week. Definitely Chamber of commerce weather. I' have one of those freeze plug installers but by the time the thing stops trying to install the plug crooked The old tried and true half inch drive socket and extension comes through every time. I picked up a Swedish pattern pipe wrench today. A buddy uses one all time on hard to reach stuff. If you have not heard of it Google it. Might be something to ad to your tool collection. That old Ford unibody is cool as is. Robin egg blue. Three on the tree and all. How many do you see these days without an engine swap to a huge V-8?

[@MaxNafeHorsemanship]

I'm a Ferd guy, so don't think I am bashing them, but the Unibody was a bad idea. When you put weight in them, the doors don't work right. Some times won't close, and some times pop open while driving. There is a reason they stopped making them.

[@_Frank_the_Tank]

I've got a '62 F100 unibody long bed, it's a runner but it's pretty rough. There is quite a bit of "self clearancing" that has happened inside the door jams where the upper portion of the bed side rolls into the cab, and the area underneath where the rear roof pillars come out away from the bed. Basically evidence of being owned previously by a 300 pound gorilla who'd just go to town slamming the absolute hell out of the doors to get them to close. Much like Morske's rig it originally had like 8 leafs in the main spring pack, and had the 3 or 4 leaf overloads, so Lord only knows how much weight that poor truck hauled around in it's prime. I've also got a '63 F250 with the standard detached fleetside long bed. I think the unibody trucks are better looking, just because the box actually matches the truck cab and front fenders. But the detached bed definitely makes for a better truck if it's actually being used as a truck.

[@tectalabyss]

I own a 1961 Unibody long bed,my Dad owned. it's been overloaded many times over the years. Never had any problems with it. Cab,doors and all still work just like they did when Dad bought it. One load was the old type concrete blocks, over the top of the cab from front to back of the bed..

Just like when you jack a unibody car up for an oil change or whatever just to find the doors won't open or close because the body is twisted. Been there, done that. I only own full frame vehicles anymore because of that.

[@MaxNafeHorsemanship]

@@_Frank_the_Tank I agree the uni looks better, but if you want a real "truck"...

[@_Frank_the_Tank]

@@MaxNafeHorsemanship In their prime the detached bed was definitely better for a "truck", but 60 years later I seriously doubt anyone is still using one of these as a daily work truck... The ones that are left have been hot rodded/rat rodded, or they're survivors that come out for the occasional leisurely cruise, so typically the better looking unibodies are typically more desired then the standard working man's fleetside. I'm slowly ruining what made my 63 F250 a "truck" ... Ditching a leaf sprung 8 lug solid front axle for independent coil suspension from a 97 crown Victoria. Ditching a 8 lug leaf sprung rear end for an 8.8 from an explorer with a 4 link and coil springs. Ditching an old inline 6 and 3 speed for a 4.6 and a 5 speed from a 03 mustang gt. Finally, ditching a completely trashed 8 foot fleetside bed and cutting the frame down to fit a step side short bed that came from a 58 Ford.

Ha!, Shades of 1970, high school. Street drag wars, kids from families with money vs us farm kids. We were hopelessly outclassed by local GTO's and such, but did have some success after my Mom's LTD got rear ended and we swapped its 429 auto into an identical little Ford pickup. Right out of the gate we learned the true meaning of wheel hop, cured with a set of home brew traction bars, which led to lots of tire smoke and not enough hook up to hang with the big kids. Traction issues quickly cured by adding duals to the rear. The quick and dirty fix worked, the farm kid way, by welding two stock rims together rim to rim. Then that beater truck hooked up big time. After a week or two Jimmy wadded the truck up though. It got pretty squirrely over 100 or so, but at least we did get some respect. Wild times.

Hey Mort. Just wanted to say, your camera work is awesome. I love how you always setup the camera right up close to the part your working on. Drive shaft, transmission mount bolts, flywheel and clutch bolts. Just everything. You show it all and I'm here for it. Also, if you do decide to get serious with the LS 4L80 swap, I'd love to see videos on that so please take us along with you! Keep up the good work my man 👍
