Late 60's Dodge.... stepside... big block Mopar.... 6 speed manual gearbox as my shop truck with aged paint. It would be similar to the Cherrybomb one that was at Sema a few years ago that Stacy David did some of the work on. One of the coolest simple builds I've ever seen. One other I'd do is hotroding a 2 stroke Detroit Diesel and slamming it between the rails on a 75 Ford. I'd make a time attack and drift type truck from that. Wouldn't be high horsepower but a twin turbo fed supercharged Detroit, all wheel drive and selectable air locker setup, lowered with an additional angle kit, big brakes, hoon handle setup for drifting and a sexy paint job with aggressive wheel and tire combo would make another fun truck.

A contractor who had one of these eco boost engines, he had to get it fully rebuilt due to FOMOCO had the wrong sized injectors installed (injectors too big), the fuel was injected into the cylinders, however not all of it got burned & it leaked down into the crank case & turned the oil into a goo with the "odour of unleaded fuel". From what I understood when the engine was rebuilt, AMSOIL paid for the whole rebuild......

Do you have plans of installing a digital dash down the road? I think that would be better than a screen mounted to the window.

Canadian power nation? I bet they were excited to buy that engine with that company credit card. 🤣

I mean I would have put a gen 3 coyote in it but still sick as for the Chevy absolutely awesome Also I can respect F100 because it is a 1955 so a V6 is actually not that insane for that truck I would like to do a 71 F100 Old man had one 390 FE with a three-speed granny

Should try E85 or straight ethanol, forced induction runs great with ethanol, we ran 100 octane race gas in our blown drag car and got 673 hp with max temps of around 210 at idle, when we switched to straight ethanol we had to change out lines to teflon coated and an alcohol carb, but we got 701 hp and max temps of around 190 at idle, detonation is so much easier to control with alcohol so we were able to swap pulleys and run 10 more psi of boost without the pinging we got from gasoline

Uncle Tony is the thing you said about exhaust opening with low rod ratio the same for just a regular gasoline engine & would 1.701 be in the low rod ratio to you ?

All direct injected engines suffer from carbon build up on the backside of the valves. That's why some newer designs are running both direct and port injection on the same engines.

I have more than enough experience with that 3.5L in the expeditions to know that they are a headache I wouldn't want to own if it were my money. Dam things are in the shop almost as much as they are on the road.

Why would put your hand on a chassis that has not been painted. And ford was not the first to use a small engine with big power. VW tried it with the AMAROK that had a 2.0 lt engine twin turbo. It did not work! Your get shorter life with a lot of stress on the motor and the power is not so good. Its not good for towing.
