When I saw the thumbnail, I was thinking the turbo ford 300 that Pat built would be excellent! >500 HP!

[@CJColvin]

Man thats one beautiful 74 F100.

[@richiesavino9653]

These are probably my favorite truck tech hosts they had great chemistry and they were both excellent techs, awesome truck

[@ericmartin2470]

Sacrilege! there is no excuse to desecrate this gem of history (even though it is a Ford).

[@bruceh92]

This is exciting guys. This generation Ford truck is beautiful to look at, so this one's already a looker. With a lowered stance on the way - we know that's coming - is gonna look and perform top shelf. Great choice! Can't wait.👍

[@chrisspatz1032]

The split grill I agree is the best looking front end. Seems like there is a whole bunch of 78', 79' Ford's all over the web some round headlights some squared,but the "Cleveland" nose I believe it's called in 78/79 is still cool looking ya can't beat the split grill with round lights in my opinion...

[@flyonawall6521]

I think that truck was awesome as they bought it. I think they did a wonderful job keeping it looking great for all those years.

[@bartdaw6681]

Sad that a survivor truck in mint condition gets messed with! Why not get a truck that needs restoration?

[@MoparMan-ff8fb]

make jokes about carbs but people who go from carbs to EFI come back to carbs especially when people have issues with aftermarket EFI kits 😁

[@starbattles1]

You're right kinda. I built a 500hp cleveland. Put an efi on it. Then went back to my custom tuned carb for a couple years. Then went back to EFI. Because I got tired of changing jets every season. On a hot motor you can't run the same jets at 95-100 degrees as you do at 60-70 degrees. And those jets wont work at 20-40 degrees. So I had a spring/fall tune, summer tune and winter tune. Got tired of all that. Now the efi does it automatically. I never had any issues with the efi. It just didn't have the same off idle punch as the carb. I just didn't give it enough time. Now it makes more power with the efi.

[@Brock_Landers]

A 351W 4V putting down 146 whp...wow. This girl needs a Coyote and a Tremec.

[@everettgrover9459]

i think that would modernize it too much, you could bore and stroke the engine and put a shift kit in the transmission, especially if you are going for the stock look

[@rayota260]

@@everettgrover9459 i think it has bigger problems if it only makes 146hp

We had 1 with a 460 in it, shook the house when we started it up

[@americanpatriot2.06]

Sad that they took a clean stock F100 and ruined it. Would've been better to find one that wasn't as clean and original for track purpose. Seriously devalued a perfect original truck.

[@katyreesimpson8742]

Real question is why sell a perfectly restored truck.

[@jeffreychristianson9134]

What about a 3.5 eco boost ??? Throw on some coil overs and have duty sway bars. Add pwr brakes??? P zero tires ??

My dad bought a new 73 F350 and I hated it. On the way home from the dealer, the brake lines sprung a leak on the highway. It was gutless with awful gas mileage.

Or even a custom home made 6.8L DOHC 40V Triton V10 provided with 4 sets of 4.6L 4V Cobra heads with some cutting and welding as well and porting and polishing the modified Cobra heads, have some custom camshafts either from Lunati or Comp cams, and a custom home made intake manifold and man you have you're self a 6.8L DOHC 40V Triton V10 (that's based off either the 6.8L SOHC 2V or 3V Triton V10) that'll make well over 500 HP NA with homemade beefed up factory parts and it'll sound narly as hell.

[@technicalitems731]

People like to put car suspension on a pickup. Why not use a modern Ford F-150 frame and suspension so it can tow and drive like a modern real truck.

[@technicalitems731]

Maybe use a modern ford lightning running gear

[@mikecyanide7492]

Why not get a new Ford pick up and leave the simple proud dependable masterpiece out of it! Lol sorry have a 76 daily and after all these years she's ready to rock every morning. Trucks of this era are very special machines that will be gone some day. Breaks my heart.

[@Timman57]

I thought they already published this episode?

[@sethk1429]

Just started diving into my 75. Excited for this for sure

[@jesseduke694]

140 rwhp. That's probably about 200 at the flywheel. Considering it probably has a C6 witch is heavy to turn & it has a 9 inch witch is also hard to turn it might be a bit more? 220 at the flywheel. Maybey.

[@starbattles1]

I know the drivetrain well. It loses about 75 hp in the drivetrain. 75 is the old rule of thumb for these old ford drive trains, C6 and FMX. The C4 is slightly better.

[@starbattles1]

Simple answer... it takes a hollywood budget. Takes MONEY Nice to see 48 year old ford, and not a typical chevy.

Yes you are correct but the 74s actually came stock with ether a 360 or 390 fe 77 and on came with a 351 m or a 400

[@jdpinbaytown]

This Truck is NOT original!, 351W was not availible in trucks during these years, It's a easy swap though esp. if you have a 302 already, I had a 1976 F100 and swapped out the 390 C6 with a 351W AOD to try for better gas mileage, Nowhere near the power and used Damn near as much Gas!🙁
