So I figured I would resurrect this old build I got a couple projects on spinecrusher about to start ill be dropping a 400 with mild cam and edlebrock intake hedman headers, I got 90' of 1.75x.120 wall dom for my exo cage its not enough to complete it but I gota get some rollover protection before I wreck my junk to bad the big hold up is I need my doubler before I start messing with anthony else once I get the doubler installed ill have to remake some crossmembers cut some drive shafts then drop the motor and route some exhaust then its caging time ill post a couple pics of the motor

my added switches the bottom left toggle is reverse lights,bottom right is rocklights the red covered toggle is my fuel shutoff the reason I need the the fuel switch is when im strapped into my harness I can't reach the ignition switch in case I roll over I wanted to be able to shut off the truck once I flip the switch about 3a seconds later it cuts off

i love it!!!!!! im tryin to get my dad to give me his 79 f150 long bed. its 2x4 but i got some dreams drawn up :) big block, tons, bobbed, exo cage. things like that.but we shall see if he gives it to me. either way bad ass truck man keep up the great work and i wanna see some videos if u got any!
 
that's a short video of me out with my group in ure. And thanks for the compliment good luck with getting that truck
 
Here's a couple recent projects View attachment 53427 View attachment 53428 View attachment 53429 View attachment 53430this is a junkyard automatic fan controller made from a Volvo fan relay and bmw three prong temp sender I can't take credit for wiring it up that goes to Tim and I believe the instructions are on pirate but it controls both speeds of my Thunderbird fan turning low on at around 210and high at 225 I think but im not certain View attachment 53431 View attachment 53432 the other project is my ultra custom second battery mount my first battery is located in the toolbox I discovered while in harlan that if I have to idle and winch for very long my charging system can't keep up and the voltage will drop the computer will not have sufficient power to run the truck and she cuts off wich led to a very crappy day on mason jar in the rain
 
Well I got the 400 motor dropped in with some hedman headers performer intake and all I can say is holy crap compared to the old motor it feels like a rocket ship about to blast off to the moon son its crazy and by no means actually fast but it does accelerate up hills its a night and day difference compared to the old 351m now I gota tend to some leaks from the motor sitting too long and I probly wont make another run this year but opening day next april were coming out swinging
 
I rebuilt the trans crossmember to facilitate easier install of exhaust and in preparation for my doubler install me and timc then made up some simple dual exhaust with crossover that side exits near the rockrail in front of the tire
