1966 F-100 EcoBoost & 1966 F-100 427 Side Oiler

[Russell]

Last chapter for my 1966 F100R
To continue on many other projects and make a few shop improvements I put the truck in auction sold to Vanguard Motors. He flipped it for 300k like always buy high sell low and make it up in volume!

You did an amazing job on that old ford! Almost too nice to drive. I would be afraid I would get rock chips and melted rubber in the wheel wells when I did burn outs!

Getting going on my 1966 N700 Crew Cab I picked up going on 3 yrs ago. So big it barely fits in shop. Bought new by the Northern Pacific Railway for hy-rail use in Billings/Yellowstone area
It is one of only 2 factory build N series crew cabs known to exist,

I am currently doing a full restoration but with a little twist. I bought a new Ford Performance 7.3 zilla 10R140 combo. Keeping the Eaton 2 spd diff either for pulling small buildings or cruising freeway turning 2500 rpm @ 75 mph.

Will post photo's once I figure out how again. Couple tries I failed said too large

Kool !!!
I don't think we will get any numbers like that out of out 390 V8 on our project 66 F100. We are just shooting for 1hp/cu in.
But the Torque Numbers should be impressive with the cam we chose.

Tomorrow morning, while the weather turns to Krraapp, planning on reading thru your entire journey on these 2 trucks, too pick up some Time Saving Tips, and steer my 2 Sons, (also the Grand Kids, the little help), and myself from unknown headaches that you had to Experience in your build.

Started a build post, will share our adventures on our build. So Please feel free to let us know when the next step should be so WE don't have to back up to do ReWork.

I have a 390 on engine stand now that am hoping is all about the TQ. Best guesstimate it will make less than 300 HP but should make 400+ TQ around 3000 RPM.
It's going in another '66 Truck. Picked up a 1968 F250 yesterday and it came with a 1969 390 from a '69 Mach 1. Appears to have very low miles on it sitting since early 70's.
Have 2 other FE truck builds in '66 trucks too plus to FT '66 Truck builds. Rest of them are all late model stuff.
This week will be doing final stages to the orange truck to get it ready for GoodGuys next weekend here in Scottsdale. After than I gotta get back on the too many other project.

I mostly post on Garage Journal. That build thread is over 7000 replies and 3m views. I find that app the easiest to add photo's.

Will try to play catch-up here. It was locked/hacked for so long I could not sign in.

Finally got it to the dyno. E51 pump gas it made 603 HP and 658 lb ft tq at the tire! That is over 3 lb ft TQ per cu in at the tire

That is gorgeous .. ya gotta love an old truck !

Thanks much!

Been busy trying to get things like TPMS, A/C, added Power Steering Pump, 100% all smog stuff no check engine light, next is trying to get cruise/adaptive cruise to work. 900 miles so far on new crate engine. Trans is stuck in tow mode and so far have not figured out what is causing it. Still runs in the 4's 0-60 leaving at idle on bad surface 100+ deg out. Down a good 100 hp from final tune.

Inspirational.
