Towing 9,500 pounds with my Turbo 300 inline 6!

Hauling a John Deere 2240 orchard tractor with my turbo 300 inline 6 in a 1979 F250 with a ZF5 transmission. Total trailer weight around 9,500.

[@joshwayne371]

Best Turbo 300 on the internet hands down!

[@abbyickes6079]

Agreed!!!

[@RohanSanjith]

😮‍💨

[@hunterswiski8398]

I triple that

Pullin a tractor , with a tractor. You need an absolute unit of a cowboy hat and have a wheat sprig in your teeth.

[@invalidargument2.0]

Almost sounds like a Cummins at certain RPMs! I would love to have one of these if only I could afford one! Thanks to what happened in 2020 I'm just as broke as 85% of the country!

[@tomedwards38]

I love the sound of your truck. Keep up the great videos

[@old-trucks-nd-Coffee]

Awesomely unique truck man Great work you have done 👍

[@CreatureofCuriosity]

Bad ass truck man 🤙🏻

[@randypeacock8062]

Watching this videos give me hope. But the inline seems to tow just fine. Adapter for v10 zf comes in friday so I can bolt it to the inline 6

[@big6red389]

One of if not best looking, sounding, and pulling turbo 300 trucks

[@motoroadrunner9589]

God dam I love the turbo sound. Also like your big blue. Looks sick. Can't wait to drive my supercab f150. Someday hope to build my 300 into a beast and maybe ad a turbo. I'm in california is the only problem. Lol dam smog bulkshit! I don't think it's crazy expensive to build these motors either being a ford 1. And 2 parts everywhere and also plenty of builds already

[@tca375]

Looks to be doing a good job towing.

[@ravenrock541]

Brother, I want to see the nuts and bolts of the engine. Where did you tap your oil line for turbo? Drain back? What computer system are you running? Type of intake? What turbo? Intercooler or no? Etc Etc Etc P.S. Tell me about that instrument cluster

[@scottprestenbach6094]

I pulled a 9k camper with my 1993 f150 m5od-r2 transmission 3.55 axle. It was all stock. The turbo will make it easier to pull. But wasnt needed

[@GorillaCookies]

I have a 69 short bed F100 4x4 with a 300 inline 6. I am thinking about going to a EFI / turbo set up in it. The 300 seems to respond well to those modifications

[@_..-.._..-.._]

Lucky lucky man, I owned 5 or so f-100’s and never found a short bed. My 67 was my favorite, it was a bare bones 240 4 speed and a two barrel adapter. My 71 was decently loaded for an old truck, 390FE, custom 2 tone, tons of chrome, police-style spotlight, factory AC and a c6 auto I believe

[@_..-.._..-.._]

Forgot to add that mine were all 2wd desert/ranch trucks. No rust, just small surface rust on the exhaust (which was STOCK on the 71 until 2007.)

[@topgunfanatic7650]

You said you swapped out the 268. What’s the new cam? What’s ur mpg like now if you’ve checked?

[@eldorado2511]

You need a vintage trailer to go along. Real gool

[@nonsequitur807]

I wouldn't tow with cutout open. You loose torque down low. Its better to open them (if you must lol) after you're up n rolling. Ive always loved the inline 6 format. You got yourself a unit of a truck n a damn fine camera "man" lol

[@IrnDsl69]

Wonder if you could get an exhaust brake to work in that application? I would imagine the Sniper EFI would be a limiting factor? Port injection? Port injected turbo 300 with a pac brake! 🤤

[@_..-.._..-.._]

I would think the stock cam is so wimpy that you’d pick up power in the whole range by going up.

[@austincooper566]

Have you thought about putting a smaller billet wheel in the front housing so it will build boost faster? 78 seems kinda big for a 300

[@lucasjonesbass9338]

I've got close to the same setup but I'm running a 78 and it's kind of slow but with headers it's pretty decent, I'll break a little bit if I'm going to do something serious but it isn't super bad

[@hunterswiski8398]

[@josephkryszczak]

It kinda sounds like you were shifting below the torque/boost curve. Either youre short shifting or the tranny ratios are too far apart. What does your dyno chart look like and when are you shifting?

[@_..-.._..-.._]

A “Turbo 4.9 Liter” was a GM factory option engine in Camaro/firebird in 1978 or a little later. So much different than your turbo 4.9

[@sylumgand]

So your saying GM made a 300ci inline 6..... And it wasn't a Pontiac 301ci V8?

[@jasonlemon7362]

I have a 71 with a 240 I6. I just picked up a 300 with offenhauser intake. I noticed the Michigan plate. I’m in Battle Creek. You close by?

[@j.e.d.8065]

Hard to believe you lost so much low torque with a small cam.

[@CA.papaBear]

getting my 72 f250 with a 300 i6 soon next month, gonna convert it to a 4x4 and swap in a 10 speed eaton transmission. B)

[@jacobbergen6317]

What size turbo is it and ar size and at what rpm do u have boost and what rpm do u start building boost by the way killler truck

[@sidswift4709]

Have you considered e 85 yet for your new build, no overheating issues and no detonation worries would be a big benefit

[@WastedPaycheckGarage]

I thought about it but Holley is pretty adamant about not running ethanol in the sniper

[@randyshaw81]

My family has one of these f100. Host a car meet 🤷‍♂️ or some beers

[@jasonsaunders1892]

Where did you get your steering wheel if you don't mind me asking? And what is the 5 speed transmission out of? Thanks!

[@WastedPaycheckGarage]

It’s a factory Ford sport steering wheel, and I believe the transmission came out of an 86 F250

[@codygriffin4225]

What’s the exhaust temp at full pull?

[@holeshot1721]

Did you see powernation take a 85hp all stock 300 ci and turbo it and dyno 500hp

[@trashman1694]

What tires did you put on it? 35x12.5x15?

[@workingcountry1776]

When you could legally work on a John Deer.... nice dent side ferd

[@rjcornett3586]

Hey man. Just a couple questions. How much boost do you run? And are you running stock ring gap? Head gasket and head gasket studs? I’m trying to do the same thing as you, but don’t want to really crack the ole girl open yet.

[@WastedPaycheckGarage]

8 psi, stock ring gap but they’re wore out enough that it doesn’t matter, stock head bolts and gasket

[@lucaspeavey3787]

No way he’s still got the old standard H in that thing.

[@andrewinsinga2993]

How do you like that eastwood 135 mig? Do you use gas or flux?

I’m happy with it, I run .023” with 75/25 gas

[@siahmartin2448]

What transmission you running, thinking about upgrading from a granny 4 speed to a 5 speed out of a newer 90s ford

[@WastedPaycheckGarage]

ZF5. Getting very difficult to find in 4 wheel drive

[@macD11]

Whats the mpg like loaded/unloaded after the cam?

[@WastedPaycheckGarage]

10.5 at best

Hello im trying to swap my m5od to a zf5. I have a 300 2wd ford 1992 could you point me in the right direction? Is it a direct swap? Thank you love your content

Yes, it's a direct swap and an awesome upgrade for those motors.

[@ogk129]

@@jaredherrera8664 so my drive shaft should bolt up?

[@jaredherrera8664]

@ogk129 yes, right up, as long as you're buying a 2wd zf5 which are fairly easy to find. It's a little bigger than the Mazda Trans but bolts right up to flywheel and driveshaft. Direct fit
