The story

When i bought it, the main bearings went which main the crank run sloppy and blew the rear main seal so i decided to rebuild the whole thing the way i think ford should have built it to begin with. Soon to come either a 6" or 12" suspension lift with either 39's or 44's any ideas or anyone with info on which one is better or who makes a 12" lift let me know.

Engine: Its a 351W bored .040 over with a crane engergizer cam .512 lift .284 duration, Comp springs keep the valves in tune with the big cam and flowtech headers let the exhaust flow freely. Edelbrock performer rpm highrise intake *non egr with right now the stock holley for motorcraft carburetor on it. Smog pump and all other emission devices have been removed. It also has edelbrock triple chrome plated valve covers and breathers. More pics to come soon, but take a look at me killing the motor before i rebuilt it in the pics i have posted now.
Drivetrain: All stock for now but i think its a c6 not sure though, but its only a 3 speed and really sucks the gas on the highway but oh well thats not what its being built for.
