Testing my New 72mm Turbo and ZF5 Transmission - 1979 F250 Turbo 300 Inline 6

Finally uploading a video about my new turbo and ZF5 swap test drive. Enjoy!

[@mcgarage3963]

Weld a bung at about a 45* angle into the exhaust after the turbo and hook your pcv to that. that will help to give you negative pressure in the crankcase. Check out some pictures of it done. It’s done a lot on race cars.

[@productiongarage5555]

I like to run the same setup on derby cars they could not kill mine last year

[@borregoayudando1481]

why not before the turbo? could make redneck antilag

[@peterkudola5381]

This is ok on a race car but on a street car you want vacuum in your crank case on long downhill descents, otherwise you will be burning oil.

[@jessiewhite4946]

I'd run a tee between both pcv valves and plumb them into the fitting you welded on before the turbo

[@jonathancallender8185]

Heck a single one like the front was good enough for the 7.3 power stroke and the 6.0. Even though there’s not a vacuum at low throttle it still is always at or below atmosphere. You are over complicating it. Nice work love the truck👍

[@kingshawn1857]

You know what fuck Ford for discontinuing this monster imagine a modern turbo 300i6 400hp+ 800lb-ft tq. Fuck me I'm tearing up thinking about it 😂😂🦾🦾

[@joeyb19601]

All you have to do is get a chuck that is weiled in to you exhaust an run it strate to vav Love cover with no other holes block the other hole off you mit have to put a new seal in but if you do you should not any other problems with it

[@tca375]

Pretty damn cool.

[@brandonswepston1745]

Best sounding 300! Especially on those pulls!

[@Project-gr6zy]

You want to have your pcv valves goto a catch can or 2 then into the vacuum side of the turbo intake Not just one but the single will work

[@slappopotamus1001]

I really like your truck man, and you seem pretty cool too.

[@kimolouis6383]

Love it! Details on the zf5 please, very interested in doing the same to mine!!

[@WastedPaycheckGarage]

There’s 3 videos on my channel about the swap if you haven’t seen them yet

[@1961muskrat]

I have 78 F150 2 whd . Your truck is bad ass.

[@guhfluh]

Gut the front PCV. There's no need for it to be there as it is plumbed and it's just a restriction now.

[@WastedPaycheckGarage]

You make a good point. I think I’ll do that

[@rockingarchangel]

Sound like lifters need adjustment or replaced

[@tylerwilkins2096]

Do you live in Michigan?

[@jennakay9]

Your catch can should be on the underside maybe

[@Southized]

I have a 86 f350 with a 300 and 8 speed 2 speed rear end im gonna pull motor soon its an old tow truck hmu for parts 26k miles

[@dommeister4004]

What’s the tire set up? Old bias ply or some of the newer made to look like older tires?

[@WastedPaycheckGarage]

7.50-16 Power King bias plies

[@dawsoncramer9233]

Whats a 0-60 look like?

[@red488truckneb]

Instead of a ZF5 swap I’m going with a gear vendor overdrive

[@trashman1694]

This is the best 300 turbo content on youtube 💪 Want to turbo my 96 4.9 eventually, or maybe keep it stock maf setup and get another older 300 truck to turbo

[@f-bodygarage]

I think with diesel prices right now I need to just get me a 300 F250 and get er turbo’d up to be a tow rig, this thing moves sounds like she’s a low end torque monster

[@HunterSkiff]

Love to see this! got a "similar" setup on the 194ci I6 in my nova. Very cool truck and engine setup

[@randallcarney1216]

The pvc is intake manifold vacuum operated , the other grommet is for filtered air to be drawn in by the pvc valve. So vacuum from intake to pvc valve and a hose and filter on the other grommet. The pvc sucks fresh filtered air through this hose into engine ,where it picks up blow by and other crankcase vapors and into intake manifold and burned in combustion chambers. The pvc goes at rear valve cover grommet and fresh filtered air hose at front . On newer valve cover fresh air hose has its own grommet just behind oil fill. The older style is attached through grommet in oil fill cap.do not run engine with pvc valve and no filterd inlet hose ,dirt will be drawn into engine and ruin it.

[@weilagequintin2023]

Hey you should put a Dyno on it and see how much horsepower and torque it makes

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

I had 93 F150 2wd regular cab 300, Mazda 5 speed and 2.73 rear axle ratio, then a 1994 F250HD 2wd 300, ZF heavy duty 5 speed and 4.10 rear axle ratio. I parked the 1993 after I got a 2004 Ranger in 2007. Drove the F250HD again in 2010 while I went through the brakes, ball joint’s, steering rack on the Ranger from lots of pizza delivery. Sadly I sold the F250HD around 2013 after I was diagnosed with chronic Lyme. I cut up and parted out the 1993 F150 after that. I wish I had the F250HD back. The ZF heavy duty 5 speed is really nice to have with the super low 1st and reverse gears.

[@travisthomas1070]

hey man I'm trying to build my 82 ford f100 with the ford 300 can you do a motor break down video

[@TheBigford460]

Ford should have build these trucks from factory this way.

[@davidtyce2269]

On my blow through dodge 318 dip stick I put a valve seal on the tube and it seals when it's in place and my pcv hose goes to the inlet of the turbo ya it gets a little oily on the intake side until it goes through the carb then its reduced down by the fuel to almost not noticeable at all most factory turbo cars do this

[@davidtyce2269]

I have since swapped to blow through easier to tune with a large turbo

[@jordanwaughtal7649]

I think one of the bmw turbo sixs had a pcv system where it pulled vacuum on the crankcase relative to the atmosphere and had an oil recycling system similar to a catch can, but it drained back into the sump.

[@LynxStarAuto]

I know it's not what any performance chaser wants to hear, but maybe dial back the boost some to help fight that blow by? The 4.9 is relentless, but they always had blow by issues.

[@WastedPaycheckGarage]

Building a second engine. This one's tired

[@booostdemongarage4827]

I think that blow by normal because my 300 has the same and when I open the engine and the engine was rebuild

[@Petrol360]

My 300 probably has about 250k and has a lot of blow by as well. I was thinking about adding a vent to the lifter cover to help remove some pressure lower in the motor along with the valve cover.

[@trashman1694]

He needs to get a catch can

[@Petrol360]

@@trashman1694 did you watch the video?

[@holeshot1721]

You got too tee off for the double vacum into catch can

[@jacobvandiver8297]

Why don’t you make a video about your background with mechanics and your history with the truck and the total story of the truck?

[@505fastlife6]

I agree I like to always know that info as well.

[@bigloads3600]

Just buy a catch can and do it right....

[@dieselcanuck87]

This showed up on my feed and I love this 100% subbed!!!! I can’t wait to see more.

Sounds awesome! What diff gears are you running?

[@slappopotamus1001]

yea would really like to know the gears too

[@WastedPaycheckGarage]

If I had to guess I’d say 3.50 but I’ve never actually checked

[@MasterMotoTv]

8:10 ❤❤❤❤

Very similar to my 65 4x4 f250. 300 six and a ZF five speed. You still have a divorce transfer case? Cheers 🍻

[@davesstillhere]

Hey man, threefold question for you- 1, how much boost are you running? 2, are you on E85 or pump gas, and 3, what octane would you recommend for 8 PSI max boost on 8:1 static compression on a 300?

[@WastedPaycheckGarage]

8psi, 93 pump gas, I’m not sure what my comp. ratio is because the head has been surfaced but I haven’t had any detonation issues on 93

[@davesstillhere]

@@WastedPaycheckGarage Awesome, thanks. Got one i'd like to boost one of these days and hadnt found that info anywhere. You got a sharp rig there!

[@wildrosegarage4208]

I got a idea for you that will work much better than what you have going on in my opinion. Get a electric vacuume pump off a 80s-90s Gm car. They used them for power brakes. Run a house off a baffled breather through a catch can then to the vacuume pump inlet, then from the vacuume pump outlet run a hose to air intake/turbo inlet and you will be good to go. You can leave a breather on the hole of the valve cover to draw air in so you have air flow through the motor. If your pvc was under manifold vacuume in the video of it running it should be sucking enough to be drawing air in your rear breather so I hate to tell you this but that motor has a ton of blowby. I have played with my share of 300s and I like them. You have yourself a awesome truck there and wish you all the best with it.

[@makinbac0n]

The PCV system is supposed to keep a slight negative pressure in the crankcase and burn blowby through combustion. Get an auxiliary vacuum pump and problem solved.

[@reideverett1608]

Sounds great I had a in-line 6. 4.2Comanche My naturally aspirated engine ran incredible I just give it frequent tune ups .I don’t know shit about turbos but it sounds like yours is peak boosting terribly late??🤛🏼🤔

[@campervanbug7658]

Just run the lines to turbo inlet

[@WastedPaycheckGarage]

That’s where they are now

[@nickwarner8158]

Probably the best thing you could do for the pcv is to get a vacuum pump off a diesel and put it into the accessory drive. Plumb it into your rear breather. If you decide to switch to the serpentine belt from the EFI engines you could put it in place of the smog pump.

[@haystack_mikey25]

You sir have a beautiful truck. I miss my 95 inline 6. I cant wait to have another
