[@jeremymayer2454]

Just found your channel. I don't know what is better, the blue oval big blocks, or you teaching your kids along with us. Definitely keep the 460! There's 1000s of us out here dying for some support with our efi motors.

[@dexterlecter7289]

Yes! We have basically no options. Can’t install older heads, no efi friendly heads, can’t change much without computer issues. I’m planning on the banks headers and likely intake. Probably buy those then have a shop do a y pipe or I’ll do it myself. However I am probably getting the best gas mileage any 460 has got ever. I calculated it out to be 9mpg two times, then I realized a portion of gas had been pumped to back tank which was on E but after I calculated mileage on front tank, it was over half. I’m guessing I’m over 14mpg city /hwy combined. I also drive slow as shit and feather gas. Learned that ole trick driving my baby, G30 van with a snappy drive train.

[@Mc88Flyy]

@@dexterlecter7289 I hear ya man. I’m rebuilding my 460, ported lower intake, ported/polished exhaust side of heads, Doug Thorley headers, mild cam. I’m definitely going to have idle issues 😂….no local tuners will touch it (old Fords I guess), so I’m down to either twEECer, have a custom chip burnt for me or go MAF $$$.

[@gymbob79]

I did the same thing. Sold my 2019 tundra and replaced it with a 95 f350 crew cab long bed. No regrets!

[@CA-oi3th]

Can’t wait for more videos on this sweet old truck!

[@randypeacock8062]

2017 crewcab dodge. Replaced by 1991 f-superduty 460 crewcab

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

Awesome truck I enjoyed watching old truck videos

[@kennethcravens125]

If youre looking for a name for a knock off go pro, call it a faux pro! Great vid. Hard to find any videos of these 460 obs trucks getting love.

[@OBS4ever16]

Lol😂. I wish the efi engines were less underrated. Not everyone has a power stroke.

[@bigred9796]

Just subscribed to your channel. Great info on our big Öl Ford Trucks. I got a 97 F350 crew cab long bed with the mighty 460. I’ve bullet proofed it just about and am going to do a couple things that I seen on your channel, like eliminating the stock oil cooler. Got 4” lift with 37” tires, headers with single 3” exhaust with just a performance muffler, no cat . A bunch of other stuff, too long to list. Looking forward to more of your videos. Loved watching your big Ford pushing that Dodge up the hill 😂, move it on over little truck, cause the Big Red Ford is mashing up the mountain

[@FatManLeather]

Nice truck, we don't find them that nice in Minnesota.

[@morgansword]

I do have experience with gas but diesel was my major trade for over fifty years and thats been a while ago. I have been crippled for the last fifteen years. My concern was the intake plenum on 460 engines had a design flaw that had no. eight cylinder running lean and burning a hole in the piston. After market intakes seem to take away this problem. Yes you are fuel injected as I know. Carburetor model engines wore the worst for this problem. I like the higher mileage of diesels and if you went a new enough model cummins, life goes on a lot longer. Problems with diesel is prices of gas being much cheaper makes that seem harder to choose what is the right choice for you. I am a ford man and always big block

[@cprgarage3206]

Yep most Ford V8s run lean on #8 cylinder

[@morgansword]

I have a lot of experience playing with the FE engines. As a kid, we used blowers on them producing high performance engines. Too broke to own a race car and a rig to tow them to a race, we drove them to the race and then back home again to use as a daily driver. My mileage and power was sweet but being a kid, just before I went to nam, I got a few "speeding" tickets. I ran that rig.... a 63 ford with the 406 engine for a lot of miles considering what it went through. I had that engine in the car with a couple sets of bearings to insure that it never had low oil pressure. I did not have near the knowledge I do now and really would of not changed those bearings at all now thinking back as they were sweet looking when pulled. I did keep a good oil and new cam bearings at twenty plus thousand miles as the timing chain was the biggest issue. I replaced the chain with that double gear set and it was never a issue again. Too much pressure on the cam pulling down on the cam did its damage. I also go great mileage with it and can say, I wish I still had that beautiful car. I can talk for hours on it.@@cprgarage3206

[@josephtizol9695]

I’d absolutely do the same thing! I sold an 09 HD in 2016 for a 93. Glad to see I’m not the only one 👍🏻

[@jacierrocha6452]

I had one exactly the same, same year color and all, and happy to say it never broke dn on me once in 10 years

[@dandable]

I say embrace the 460 and build it to make more power. Take it from a gas guzzling turd to a power house.

[@famman8729]

Very nice!!!! Reminds me when my kids were young and we towed a trailer with the old obs.

[@cprgarage3206]

I grew up in dentside and OBS Fords my dad had when I was a kid. He had a brand new '92 Supercab

[@famman8729]

Way cool!!! Mine is a ‘96 F250 crew cab that I still have 20 years later.

[@rogerkisling8869]

Glad I stumbled on this video have same antifreeze problem couldn't figure out

[@kylewasson7649]

I have a 96 F350 crew cab with the 460 in it. I’m debating when the motor slows up on looking into the Godzilla swap.

[@EYE_SPIDER]

That’s a cool truck!

[@user-wo2ng4xk8z]

There is a you tube channel FoxBoos9 that did a lot of upgrades to a 1996 Ford F-250 460 eng. he shows doing oil cooler, headers, ignition wires, dist cap., fuel reg. etc>

[@user-wo2ng4xk8z]

I lucked out. I have a 1997 Ford F-350, 7.5 crew cab, LB dually, post tract. with 10,000 on a rebuilt eng. total miles 74000. So far put Banks intake & exhaust, Gear Venders over/ under trans, Banks 4:56 rear end with Banks rear housing. came with ten leaf springs on each side. I actually get 12-14 MPG. Also changed stock 95 amp alt. to a 170 amp. alt. with bigger wires. Still adding upgrades in future.

[@dougwood3157]

Just found this ty! Just bought a 97 crew long bed 460 would love to learn with u. She is also red 👍🏻

[@13yearsaprepperr.jtilbury.51]

Just subbed , I have a 1992 OBS 5.0 auto , Regards Rob NSW Australia

[@grantmasson5483]

Loved the video I have a 95 F250. Can you give me a link for the bumper and also what paint did you use on your bumper? Thank you for your time to make an old man happy! Grant

[@cprgarage3206]

The bumper link is somewhere in the comments I think the place was called affordable offroad? Silver hammertone spray paint!

[@drivewaygarage1561]

I just bought a 1990 like that with the 460

[@ms.carroll5574]

Just got me an 87 f250 lariat with 460 and coming from a ram cummins 2021

[@larrywhitaker4667]

One of the best trades you have made if a long time

[@SI-lg2vp]

I own a 1997 OBS F250 XLT HD since new, 68,000 miles with the 460 engine. New trucks are are nice to have, but they can destroy your wealth. So I keep the old truck and laugh at everyone that drives that $70K truck that will continue loose value. My truck is climbing in value from the purchase price of $21K.

[@cprgarage3206]

Or have like four older trucks for less than 20k lol

[@travislivengood2744]

14a is hilarious in a motorcycle. Both directions.

[@cprgarage3206]

I was wondering to myself why we don't do a pikes peak style hill climb on 14a?

[@travislivengood2744]

@@cprgarage3206 Good question. I nearly crashed my KLR650 on the way up, then again on the way down too. It's a hilarious road. Hammering across the Powder River valley is fun too. But only to a Chris Ledoux playlist.

[@owensleicher9784]

I’m doing a 460 swap in a bronco I wonder if that bullnose oil filter mount will fit because the engine cross member is even smaller on the broncos, only one way to find out off to the junkyard!

[@cprgarage3206]

Should! It is clockable

[@mikerodr]

Use only Wix Oil and Fuel Filters. To protect the engine and fuel system on that legendary Big Block Ford.

[@travislivengood2744]

Do 460 stuff. I'd bet 300whp is pretty attainable with stock hard parts on the 460. Stock exhaust is tragic, stock fuel trims are alarming. Stock cam is also nearly barstock.

[@skinnywaterguidecompany]

Did you ever finish the oil cooler delete on the truck ?

[@cprgarage3206]

Yep, been running without for over a year. New video on big red soon

[@cprgarage3206]

Just came back to this... if you watch my very first video of the 500 hp 460 build you can see it better

[@alanishguy]

What are the chances you still have a link to that bumper? Love the simple style and would look great on my 88. Thank you.

[@cprgarage3206]

I found it, Affordable off-road here's the link. I added it to the description facebook.com/commerce/products/4754608154634174?mibextid=dXMIcH

[@alanishguy]

@@cprgarage3206 thank you so much

[@CR500R]

I hate how these trucks are all the rage now. It's like a cult thing. I owned several 1992-1997 OBS Fords, up until 2009. Now they are selling for ridiculous prices.

[@cprgarage3206]

They are still out there affordable if you look! Including broncos this is my 6th OBS

[@Ulfstigandr]

I agree. I've sent my fair share to the scrapper. Now wish I still had every single one of em back

[@famman8729]

I’m real curious on the Innovate LC2 wide band O2 sensor and how it worked with your truck. Any thoughts on doing a review of it and what the outcome was?? Thanks.

[@cprgarage3206]

I have since removed it for now, it actually belongs to the '69 F100 build but I will look through my videos

[@josie9079]

Hey love your videos on the 460 there are not enough of them out there. That oil Adapter looks like it’s out of the E350 they have a longer neck than the one that come out of a 250. Did you get that to work? And did it help that it had a longer neck or would one with a shorter neck work as well? I appreciate any help you can give. Thanks

[@cprgarage3206]

Worked just fine with an FL1A filter. I took it off a bull nose f250 at the yard. A shorter one should work fine as well

[@josie9079]

Thanks for the help. Looking forward to how you tune the 460’s.

[@Ulfstigandr]

Is this how people are paying $20+ thousand for a truck that books for $5000?

[@foxgdsmck]

Hey do you know how to fix the hvac switch system that's stuck on defrost? i checked vaccum lines and all, still stuck on defrost if you have any thoughts!

[@cprgarage3206]

It is usually a broken plastic vacuum line under the hood! I had like 5. Or the control unit could be bad you can try disconnecting it and manually moving stuff with a vacuum hand pump

[@foxgdsmck]

@@cprgarage3206 right on! Thank you so much for the advice!!

[@dexterlecter7289]

Keep the 460. If you’re thinking 7.3 just get a small block Chevy and you’ll have more reliability, power and cool points.

[@cprgarage3206]

Small block chev? Hard pass on the power part. Truck 350 makes 160hp on a good day!

[@Ulfstigandr]

500ft lbs outta the box is hard to beat

[@dennisowen3717]

LEAVE IT STOCK!!!!!!
