New guy swapping a F100 Hello to everyone!
I finally have a reason to join this forum! After a couple of mild build projects (jeeps and diesels) Im finally building myself something fast! I have a 1977 Ford F100 Reg short bed 2wd currently with the 351 Cleveland/ auto trans and 9" rear. I bought from a close friend a fresh rebuilt 6.0 with these specs:
Gen 3 LQ4, new oil pump, honed cylinders, rings and bearings
243 LS1 heads completely rebuilt and milled .030= should be 10:8 to1 with PAC 1219 springs
TSP trunnion upgrade, TSP hardened chromoly rods
TSP 228/232 .600 lift on a 112 LSA
currently has truck intake with 33 lbs L59 flex fuel injectors.
Not really sure what the engine will put down. I know it needs larger injectors. I plan to upgrade the fuel system and intake, just don't know with what yet. Im still learning what all it takes for engine management for a truck that never had any of this. That's where I am at so far. Plan is also to put a 3rd pedal with a T56. I will definitely use the search bar as much as possible but Im sure Im going to ask a few repeated questions as well.
