Project TimeWarpF100 45yrs in the Making...

[TimeWarpF100]

Thought I would share the build of Project TimeWarpf100

This is a dream truck from a "Dream" that will be 45yrs old tomorrow when my dad pulled into the driveway with a brand new 1966 F100! Even though I was only 8yrs old It was love at first look...

In 1978 I bought a 1967 Mercury Capri with a Factory 425hp 427 & a 4spd with only 12k miles on the clock. It was then I thought some day I want a BRAND NEW 1966 F100 powered by a Dual Quad 427 Side Oiler.

Since tomorrow is 45yrs to the day when I fell in love with the 66 F100 body style, I thought it would be as good of a time as any to share my build of it.

This started out a a very very nice unmolested Arizona Short Bed Custom cab in a very rare Orange/White 2-tone.

Once it was torn down it was time to make carts for the cab and box to make moving them around and blasting etc a bit easier

[TimeWarpF100]

I made the carts stackable for blasting & Painting. The box cart will also serve as an engine run stand.

Took a Cobra Jet C-6 out of the cobwebs and started a rebuild. Had an "ISSUE" with the trans case because someone put a bottle jack under it to "LIFT" the car. A quick weld job and back at it.

A custom torque converter was also ordered at this time...

A Yukon Gear Posi unit was added to the 9" rear supporting the stock 3:50 gear set

[TimeWarpF100]

I then dragged the frame outside for a quick sandblast before bringing to the powdercoater along with other misc parts.

A few days later they called to say it was ready! They did a VERY NICE job on the parts. And at a price I could not begin to buy paint and materials for.

Great looking build and such clean metal to start with.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
What type of stripper did you use on the paint/body?

[Fluid Power]

Yeah the stripper looks powerful strong. What are you using?

Super cool project! :thumbsup:

[TimeWarpF100]

Great looking build and such clean metal to start with.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
What type of stripper did you use on the paint/body?

Been using the same stuff for approx 32yrs now!

Aircraft Remover by Klean Strip. They make both spray can and quarts/gallons. I normally keep some spray around but does not work as good.

That hood was ONE application of the stripper in approx 20min time.

The key is to not move it/brush it around much. Best is to pour and let run down saving what runs off and using it again. If its brushed on very thin it will take more applications. Pour it on without brushing on a vertical surface and it will start to peel within minutes. If many layers of paint and bondo it will take a few applications.

Key is to neutralize it with soapy water (Ivory Liquid) and a scotch bright before priming etc. Once surface is stripped and clean I then use a PPG metal conditioner to scrub the metal again prior to paint/primer. The metal conditioner also keeps it from surface rusting.

[TimeWarpF100]

I also stripped the inside of fenders, the door jambs and cab floor along with underside were also sand blasted. The carts made blasting a breeze.

I use engine stands with a special attachment for the doors where I can have them stand up normal turn them around or even lay them flat for blocking. A fender stand was also made and fenders will pretty much stay there until complete, sanded, buffed and ready to go on. I do all the blocking, work, prime and paint on the stands.

[fleetus macmullitz]

Great styling during those years and you certainly have a solid truck to start with it appears.

What kind of mods are you doing to the suspension?

[TimeWarpF100]

I will pick n' file and work the metal then apply the epoxy primer.

If there is a portion thats impossible to get straight I add a bit of old tyme lead work... and pick and file some more. Self taught but I get by... My style and technique is not like the pro's but gets the job done instead of farming anything out. I just do what works for me.


Fenders and doors in primer (PPG DPLF74)

After metal prepped prior to the first primer.

Metal turns a blue/gold and no white in color then I know its ready.

[TimeWarpF100]

I then apply a few coats of "blocking" primer and sand until the fingertips are raw! Those nook and crannies underneath are torture. Of course a bit of guide coat is put on top and bottom in and out first. Once sanded smooth I apply another shot of primer and block all over again..... When happy I finally quit the priming and apply tinted sealer and paint...

Its now ENGINE TIME! Very time consuming process but something I enjoy very much. The engine Build!

Double, Triple and Quadruple check everything. Simply cannot afford a mistake. Its "ONLY" 482 Cu In... A road race pan for those track days I plan on running...

[TimeWarpF100]

Engine and Trans now done, time to drop it in and drop on the done cab assy.

Very nice. Paint looks awesome. Nice build.:thumbsup:

Thanks for taking the time to share the pictures. Awesome job.

love it:thumbsup:

Man you had some clean metal to start with! My dad's building a 61 F100 and his is nowhere near as clean or straight as yours. Looks awesome, can't wait to see it finished. Loving the BBF power too!

Joe.

[OnEdge]

Absolutely Love it. I've been following your thread over on GJ and I can't get enough. I've learn a bunch from your thread. I'm still curious as to what your "Magic Soap" is.. Keep up the great build. You sure don't see many of these side oilers. Also did you fabricate the stand that you have your fenders on? :thumbsup:

THANKS! The Magic Soap is a cleaner that I mix up that works nothing like anything else I have tried. The materials are getting hard to buy because of government regulations. The only way I can buy the things to mix together now is truck freight which is quite costly. I will be sharing as soon as I can get more of the materials.

Yes, I built the fender stand, the box and cab stands along with the attachments for door/engine stands. The fender stand comes apart so I can slide it under a workbench etc when not in use. More updates soon.

I have a 2nd Side OIler under the bench I will most likely sell soon.

[TimeWarpF100]

This is the wheel I will be using on this project.

I already have the tires too.

Eagle F1 SuperCar 285/40ZR-18's in the Rear.

" " " 255/45ZR-18's in front

These are 180 Treadwear tires and very sticky when warm. Not for use under
40deg F. Excellent Excellent in wet conditions

Very nice. Killer wheel and tire choice!:thumbsup: :cheers:

[TimeWarpF100]

Going on 4yrs since I gave an update.

Still have the project which has been sitting and just collecting dust for the 4yrs. Moved 3 times in 9 months with all my stuff plus a illness.

I have finally gotten to point where I have it back in shop now vs storage.

Slow going but have made a bit of progress over past month or two.

I was able to replace the box floor and make some new pieces for the 4 corners of box. Still needs a bit more welding and grinding then will be ready for primer. Many months to just get that much done. Box sat in middle of shop floor for a couple years waiting.

Like a fool started another project in the middle of it all . . . Its been on hold a couple yrs now. Just what I needed, another project before first one was done . .

Another '66 truck but this one will be my daily driver so its getting a late model drivetrain and suspension.

3.5L TT EcoBoost

back to the 427 truck.
When I moved I dropped on the front clip to help with damage issues in shipping across country.

These were taken a few weeks ago. I have since pulled the front clip and started to build headers for it.

Tinkering again . .

Another year goes by.

EcoProject finally goes under its own power.

427 Project sits in corner almost forgotten . . Going on 16 years now.

A quickie update video on EcoProject

My first attempt at anything more than a stock type resto.

This was a teaser video trailer

Yet another year goes by . . .

The orange/white 66 427 FE Truck made just a little progress. Built custom headers and finished up metal work on box.

The truck I posted prior pics of is now on road driving but still needs paint.

Simply did not have the funds for a custom chassis so just bought a new F150 chassis from ford with closest W.B. to stock truck. Had to paint it as looked pretty rough straight from dealer.

Bought a new 9 3/4" Housing from Ford and all small parts. (Cheaper than a used junk yard one)

It has large stock brakes front and rear. Good to stop a 4200 lb truck.

Fronts are 14" forget rears now as too long ago . . LOL

Of course needed to add a limited slip.

Running a 3.15 Gear. Great for a Turbo truck with a low 1st gear.

Had to build my own custom Intercooler and all tubing

Mounting the cab on chassis was a huge chore because I chose to lower cab down over the chassis.

It took days/wks just to find proper location for cab on chassis

Of course then fitting box to new chassis was also a huge job

Decided to make attempt at installing the new F150 floor and firewall into the '66 Cab

Along with the new dash. Because of all the electronics they simply would not fit in the tiny '66 dash

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v513/CalypsoCoralBoss302/1966%20F250%20TwinTurbo%20EcoBoost/Cab%20Mounting/IMG_7585.jpg

Of course it would not fit thru door as promised. So they left me to chop it apart so it would . .

After a slight modification to new firewall corners it fit in the '66 Cab!

I had to widen the back of cab to fit the new chassis.

Then came getting the box to fit . .

Of course I knew ahead of time there was 3" diff between the new chassis and '66 Chassis in W.B.

I cut floor out of '66 box and installed one from a 2013 and raised it 6"

Like I did not have enough to do already. Started yet another 1966 Truck project . . This time a 1966 F250 Ranger. (Ultra rare factory bucket seats)

This truck is getting a 2015 3.5 EcoBoost and a 6R80 6 spd auto. Its from a 4x4 prototype truck. It was all donated so could not resist . . Low enough miles it had not had its first oil change yet.

This truck will be the sleeper hot/rod of the bunch and a slow progression of upgrades. Total stock appearing interior and exterior except for a custom gauge package to work with the late model engine/trans

Nice work, really enjoyed reading through all your posts. Keep updates coming please.

Thanks! Continued health issues have really put a damper on getting much done but a few updates since last post.

I finished Eco1 project except paint. Put on 11,000 miles in 2017 then sold it late in year to allow me to finish other projects.

Far too many things to do for a old fart but here is a current one.

540" Twin Turbo Boss9 for another truck project.

Hard to keep them all straight but here are current projects. Far far too much to do for a Old Fart one man band . .

1) 1966 F-100 482" FE (Orange/White Truck) have not driven in over 18yrs

2) 1966 F-250 Ranger 2015 3.5 Eco with upgraded Ford GT Turbo's Stock Chassis

3) Twin Turbo'd All Aluminum 540" Boss 429 powered pickup truck

4) 1966 F-100 4x4 with 2.7 EcoBoost Power full Electronics

5) 1955 Wards Scooter I have owned since 1964

6) 1966 F-100 Replica of the one my dad bought new.

7) 1966 F-100 Ranger (current daily driver a very rare truck)

Other than that not much to do . . LOL

Update on 482" FE F100

Finally was able to do a nice upgrade on the brakes.

14" 6 Piston on all 4 corners from Baer

A custom one off set as I changed bolt pattern so I could order the wheels I wanted/dreamed about.

Cool build, that looks like a lot of motor, perhaps boxing the chassis would have added some much needed strength.....

[TimeWarpF100]

Cool build, that looks like a lot of motor, perhaps boxing the chassis would have added some much needed strength.....

These chassis have a lot of heavy crossmembers. At only 600 HP It should work well. Main purpose will not be AutoCross.

Eco1 I did have a fully boxed chassis but it was all late model stuff

My other Current engine build of 1500+ HP I will for sure need a more stout chassis . . but it too will be a daily driver.

[TimeWarpF100]

Thanks! Excited to finally see these last few trucks finished.

After 45+yrs I can then hang up the tool belt . .

Thanks!

Will do. Very slow progress but progress. Did not make it to Goodguys
This year but did watch your runs on YouTube.
Very cool. Different track layout from last year?

[TimeWarpF100]

Now that truck has great brakes, good tires it’s time
To make it handle a bit better so when a corner is attempted
Over 15 mph it doesn’t roll over n play dead.
Trying to find a OEM type sway bar to work but it would be
Just that. A sway bar so:


Decided to just build my own sway bar system exact for my application!
Let the fun begin to get that done...

(good to have older brother who is suspension engineer)
I am sure it’s been done a million times trying
To make a twin I beam handle decent but will see where this goes.

Few questions asked:
1) diameter of spring outside
2) diameter of spring wire size
3) number of coils
4) tire track width
5) I beam pivot point to king pin center
6) distance between I beam pivot points
7) distance from end link mount to center of bar
8) distance from frame to inside tire at full turn
)9 distance from front of crossmember to most forward part bar will fit
10) center distance of the 2 I beam mounting points.

[TimeWarpF100]

Cool build. I love the valve covers!

Thanks! The Mercury covers were actually used in 1966
So felt they would be a good fit.
Had Advanced Plating in Nashville do them in show chrome.

Undercarriage getting close to done. Still gotta make trans cooling lines (50% done)

I'm not sure, wasn't there last year but I'd imagine they changed it up some.

I had a blast there regardless, can't wait to do it again.

We are less than 3 weeks out on the house. You never did mention how you were familiar with our lot?

Truck looks great, can't wait to see it in person.

Its over 40yrs so far since I said I wanted to build this truck . . Was very much starting to look like it would never happen. Now it was either do or die.

April 6th at AMP is the last SCCA event of the spring series.

That's coming up fast! I better get busy to see if I can make that.

Hoping I can meet the sound level.

AMP requires all vehicles to meet a 96 dB(A), at 50ft.

Clubs and organizations holding events at AMP, decibelsoundmetertypically sound test before allowing their member/participants on track.

Click the CALENDAR page to view upcoming events.

How is it tested? Certain RPM?

[SSLance]

How is it tested? Certain RPM?

After tech, before driver's meeting...they take all of those needing sound testing over to road course and have them run by the sound meter on e at a time at speed.

I've never been over there when they do it, but I think they give them time to get into second gear and at full throttle before they go by the meter.

Pass and you get a sticker in your driver's door, fail and they park you for the day.

I am as shocked as my friends. The dual quad 427 was a 40+ yr dream

I started to think what it would be like to have a late model engine in this truck
That would have equal power but other than oil changes maintenance free
The new Gen3 5.0 Coyote engines with a 10 spd auto sounded good.

I decided to list the 427 on Craigslist for 48 hours at a price I could install the
Coyote and have $$ left to finish other projects. I know, I know a total
Dream.... until someone stopped by and actually bought the 427!

So, Engine is out & sold, front clip off truck then it sinks in how much more work it’s going to be to get truck back on road.

[TimeWarpF100]

It’s April but this is no April fools joke.

Found it interesting that he posted this. Mainly IIRC that it is way more costly and complex than many ‘assume’ going in.

I have watched his channel although do not subscribe.

A later video he is all in and says he would do it again for sure.

Having done 3 EcoBoost swaps into pickups the Coyote should be a no~Brainer. ALthough I have not done any coyote swaps I cannot imagine it being more difficult than doing a ecoboost swap.

[fleetus macmullitz]

I think he was all in even when he did the vid I posted, he was just hoping to educate the less informed on the possible unexpected costs and complexity.

As much as I also like the FE’s, I would make the same choice you did as well and really look forward to seeing your swap here. :thumbsup:

[SSLance]

I can't believe you did that!! lol... :D

I loved it just like it was, plus it was RUNNING and driving!!!

I like working on my stuff as well but I like driving them more. Good luck with the swap, after seeing your handywork I'm certain it'll turn out awesome.

HA! I cannot believe I did that either! Waited 40+ yrs for that exact engine combo. Problem is I gained 40+ yrs too. I loved it actually, nothing like a big inch engine with a solid roller cam and great sounding exhaust that was music to my ears. But, wife did not like it at all and each time it needed a bit of adjustment she would say why don't you just sell the truck!

To please her I listed the engine on CraigsList to say here I am trying to sell the engine! Problem is that idea backfired and the engine sold!

So here I am starting all over again . .

Speaking with the "Pro's" like Power by the hour they said they were not aware of ANY Gen3 10 speed swaps done so looks like once again I will be a sucker to try to make it all work. Knees already knocking just thinking about it but in the end I think I will be much happier and the wife a BUNCH happier with a late model engine. I just will not tell her I plan on adding a SuperCharger just to make it more HP than the 482. With proper mods and tuning I am sure the Gen3 Coyote would make equal or more but who wants equal?

HUGE FE fan since late 1965 and even more so in 1972 when I worked on my first one. Then stepped it up in 1978 when I bought my first dual quad 427 car with a 4spd. (One of only 6 built)

But now that the years are piling on the wife deserves as much enjoyment as I get out of it. I am hoping the Gen3 Coyote 10 spd auto with or without the SuperCharger will make the truck that much more enjoyable on trips over 25 miles each way then stopping to fill the tank . . . Wife being a accountant she was not at all impressed with the 50 cents per mile just for fuel.

Like most of my projects this will be a HUGE undertaking. In search of proper donor now. May have found it but I have a actual "Budget" to do the swap so will see how that goes.

[SSLance]

I guess that is understandable...Happy Wife, happy life and all that. :D

Good luck man, hope the upgrade is as easy as it can be for you. I'm waiting for parts to show up myself, finally taking the EFI plunge with Barney. I'm probably as much so if not more nervous about that as you are with this coyote 10 speed sway... lol...

Which EFI did you go with?
I have a bit of experience with the FiTech.. I ended up spending 4000.00 by the time it was up and running.
Not inc labor. Lost 75% when I sold it.

I went with a Holley Terminator 4 bbl TBI. My fastburn heads really limited my intake manifold choices or I would have tried to go multiport. I'll use the ECU to control timing thru my MSD Pro Billet dist.

Man I really love this truck, and it came out so AWESOME!!!! I was following the build on FB and then you disappeared.

The engine change comes as a shock, but that Coyote will be cool too. I look forward to watching that swap.

Thanks! Huge turn of events . . . I still cannot believe I sold the 427.

I got tired of the BS on facebook.
I do have instagram where I post most often

https://www.instagram.com/ecoboostf100/?hl=en

At this time I am trying to find the replacement for the 427.

I am in process of building a 410 FE its slightly possible that may replace it. a very basic engine with no upgraded heads, roller cam etc. A very basic no big bucks stuff.

What I really want to drop in is a Gen3 Coyote 10 spd auto with a SuperCharger. Finding proper donor truck is the hard part.

In a pinch I may go with a 2018 & newer 3.5 Eco & 10 spd auto but have done 3 ecoboost swaps already so not my first choice. I can easily get 500 RWHP out of one and still get great MPG.

Will see what becomes avail over next 30 days or so. Have bids in on a few different ones including a 2017 6.7 Diesel.

The 540" Twin Turbo Boss 429 I am building belongs to a friend, would love to have that but way out of my pay grade.

I started on the 2.7 Swap into the 1966 F-100 4x4 Christmas time but so much else to get done. Doing a major cab off, full engine rebuild, new transmission, big brake upgrade, new suspension on a '01 Lightning. Once its done I will get back on the 2.7 Swap. Hopefully by end of this month.

I will be using very minimal Electronics in the 2.7 Swap. Enough to make it drive but plan on using the Electronic Locking Diff, the electronic park brake and the 4x4 of course. I may add cruise control but it will be a pretty basic swap. Hoping it to be a daily driver and will be used as a truck.

I currently have Seven (7) different 1966 Trucks in various stages and the garage is so packed with junk and truck parts its hard to get anything done.

Way too much for a one man band old guy . .

At minimum you will need PCM, BCM & ignition /keys along with engine and transmission wiring. One can use a aftermarket or OEM instrument cluster. Oem one can be modified to fit about anything.

Of course one can have the PATS turned off.

I change my mind like the midwest weather changes. Minute by minute

One day it's a FE the next a Gen3 Coyote 10 spd then its a Gen2 Eco 10spd then back to a FE.

I was certain I was going late model but after not finding anything thought maybe FE. UNTIL, I started to count the $$ to stick with a pretty basic FE. I actually made a very large purchase of aftermarket heads, Edelbrock Plo Flow 4 until I realized I was sent the wrong heads. I just do not want to dump 10k in a very basic FE. I already have 2 FE 1966 Trucks with 2 more FE's under the bench & one at machine shop.

Today I have absolutely no clue which way to go. I thought the FE would be a quick easy swap but finding a machine shop to get er' done not so easy.

[Peter McMahon]

I have a 56 F100 with a coyote and 4R70w. I love it. I vote coyote

[TimeWarpF100]

What year is the Coyote you have in the '56? Any pics?

I made a offer on a Gen3 Coyote/10spd Auto (10R80) will see what they say on Monday.

Just a pretty basic FE nothing special Current Aluminum heads, basic machine work with a 428 Style crank along with EFI and a Overdrive Trans is around 15k! No way no how will I spend that much on a dinosaur engine. Just sold a even more expensive one so not going to repeat.

So many people doing Coyote swaps wanted to do something different but what is currently avail for power and reliability they are hard to beat. Just a bit pricey . .

[Peter McMahon]

Mine is a 2011 crate. Goes like stink

[TimeWarpF100]

I started to build another FE this time a 410 and after getting the runnaround from shop for 6 months I found that not only did the shop ruin one block but all 3 blocks I had left! Since they were my last 3 FE blocks I finally threw in the towel on a FE.

I had spent a half fortune on a new Gear Vendors, New Transmission and a custom converter, and so much more.

I bought a 2018 F150 with 5.0 Coyote 10 spd with 9k miles but truck had such minimal damage I fixed it in just a couple days to the point one could not tell where damage was. Loved the truck but the low end power was nothing like my experience with the 3.5 Eco. Having already installed 3 different Eco engines really wanted to go the 5.0 Route.

I heard rumblings that Ford Performance had 5 2018-19 Raptor 450 HP
510 TQ crate engines. After a bit of research I was able to buy #4 of the only 5 sold.

So the plan once again changes to the Raptor crate engine and a 10 spd auto.

These engines will put down 490 RWHP with just a tune. Truck being down 6 months so far am getting tired of it sitting.

[TimeWarpF100]

So much for the 5.0 Idea! Was willing to run one if I could do it with 10spd auto but it just never came to be. Not only that but it's what so many others are doing. The cost of making a 5.0 Run with the Eco is probably 7000.00

[TimeWarpF100]

The '18 That I fixed/repaired

[TimeWarpF100]

Only allowing one pic at a time. Bought this truck for the Engine and Transmission but was just too nice to part out.

[TimeWarpF100]

The 1500HP daily driver truck is very slow progress but at least engine is mounted. Hoping tomorrow to start on the custom headers.

If interested I would consider selling my 2.7 conversion. Just too many irons in the fire. The 2.7 is in truck and I have had it running. It was meant to be just engine and transmission and maybe keep the TPMS. Rest would remain as is.

[TimeWarpF100]

Quickie update on the '66 F100 Raptor

engine, transmission, exhaust, new 27 gallon fuel tank all in. Will have 46 gallon fuel capacity for those long hauls. Shooting for 900 mi per fill at a minimum. Now working on getting all the Raptor components to fit underhood. Lots of plumbing with twin turbo's. Added a 83% larger Garrett cooler. Hoping to have first test drive within 30days.

Just over 21 years of ownership of truck. Have not driven it since April 4th 2019

Good luck! This is a great project.

[TimeWarpF100]

Good luck! This is a great project.

Thanks much!

Mostly have all core support, inner fenders fitted. Not much room underhood as engine is very tall because of all the turbo plumbing.
Also had to rotate battery 90 deg to clear radiator. Not a lot of room to fit Battery Junction Box, Pcm and all the wiring. Already had to make harness out of OEM 2018-20 F150 and too much work to try to make each wire perfect length and to put components in different location. Installing those components where wire length will allow. That’s stock F150 location.
No kits avail for the dual fuel system 3.5 EcoBoost.

Now it will take a lot of metal finish work to pretty up the sheet metal.

[TimeWarpF100]

Few goals:
600 HP 600TQ @ tire on E50 (pump gas here)
25 MPG @ 65 mph
11.50 or better 1/4 mi at 120+ mph 1/4
900 mi per fuel fill
Would love to see 100 mph in 1/8 but don’t think enough power for that!

Good news - Taptalk is awesome and the truck looks great.

As a stock 2018 Raptor owner, beyond the garret intercooler, what other upgrades are you making to achieve the great power and MPG goals? Maybe it's time to spend more time on the fordraptorforum as I average 15mpg and no where close to that power...

thanks.

Few goals:
600 HP 600TQ @ tire on E50 (pump gas here)
25 MPG @ 65 mph
11.50 or better 1/4 mi at 120+ mph 1/4
900 mi per fuel fill
Would love to see 100 mph in 1/8 but don’t think enough power for that!

Performance wise it should be 2200 lb less than typical Raptor. That should also help MPG somewhat too. MPG wise it will need to be on 91 Octane numbers drop fair amount on E50.

Big difference for HP numbers (at least noticeable) Is my tire wheel package is under 50 lb per corner while Raptor wheel/tire typical is over 100 lb.

Will not know until I try though as think the 9" Ford axle uses more hp than the 9 3/4" Raptor version.

Huge disappointment if it does not make at least 500 RWHP on 91.

Only mods from stock are minimal each. More of a direct Ram Air for airbox, Big change in exhaust that is very similar to the 2021 Raptor. Garrett says only around 13 hp gain from cooler although here it may be more in hot summer but again I have no clue about airflow through engine bay.

I have seen other trucks make 575 at tire so figured a 25 gain with just the 1/2 weight tire wheel combo. Gearing may make a diff too. I can also run in 7th gear which is 1-1. My tire height is only 27" and am running 3.50 rear gearing.

If I look at what my other eco swap truck did it ran 13.0 @ 105 with base engine and tune only it made 420 RWHP and track weight was 4750 lb that truck I had to leave at idle or it would just spin. Much better and larger tires on this one. Adding 150hp and taking away 800+ lbs of weight should get me to 11.50's. If It will make 600 RWHP and I can get it to hook and leave on boost it may net me a 10 second quarter mile. Not sure how the engine will hold up to that HP level (Pistons/Rods) All I want is a long distance cruiser that has acceptable performance, MPG and long distance cruising. Truck looks decent and is reliable.

So goals are from past experience with ecoswap. I think just the tire size alone will be huge for MPG, weight and other factors should be huge too.

Is your Raptor around 40 mph per 1000 RPM? Mine should be 36 mph per 1000 RPM.

65 mph cruise should be around 1800 rpm

Taller final gearing, bunch more weight, huge tires combo and a much much larger truck. Will soon find out I guess! What ever it is will not be the 6 mpg I was getting with the BBF.

For distance I will have 46 gallons of fuel capacity and at only 20 mpg its 920 miles cruise per fill.

Cool on the F100's! I hope to be out there too!
I have owned at least 6 Crown Vic/Grand Marquis and they were more mushy suspensions although anything can be made to work. I think they are kinda cool but not something I would consider on one of my own trucks although did install a narrow version in a friends truck with coil overs etc.

I might be surprised to find a CV equipped truck running away from my Twin I Beam setup. But the Twin I Beam was engineered in the early 60's and is still in use by ford today on some applications. (I Beam less known for handling than the CV setup)

Would be exciting to test it at AMP. My current setup/combo has never been done before so who knows what will happen. Although I want to do some track days the truck is being built for Long Distance Cruising. I think better suited for long tracks.

Are there any videos of the runs at AMP? I will be hiding under a rock until my truck is on road. Maybe after too if grandpa's CV passes me . .

Found this online. If this is any indication if my truck will hook up it is possible to run 10's in quarter mile. Typical weight for a Raptor tire wheel is 100 lb per corner. Mine are under 50 lb per corner. 100 Less lb of rotating mass should make noticeable difference not to mention the Tire diameter. Excited but only bench racing guesstimates at this point. The 2200 lb weight difference should be huge also.

Sounds great, you really got the exhaust tuned perfectly. There are plenty of aftermarket exhaust system for the Raptor that sound horrible.

Thanks! After so many years messing with exhaust systems I learned what I like best on big inch v-8's I figured why not use exact same system with the small 6. Sounds unlike ANY 6 I have heard before.

I think my favorite part is the dash!! Congrats on the initial test drive, should give you a bunch of motivation to finish it up...

About 420 mi. No AC yet.

Was just out on test drive & it dead hooks.

The 10 spd a total prize in lighter veh.

Taking a bit to get things dialed in but drives beyond fantastic

Power not turned up yet but feeling like it should run in 3’s 0-60.

Just a few miles shy of 4000 now!

It's total banana's on E51. Base tune was 603hp and 658TQ at tire and that was limit found where PCM was closing the throttle! LOL

v2 of tune now and . . . . Big Increase! Needs some wide open spaces now.

[TimeWarpF100]

:trophy-1302:

Thanks! Can't wait for final tune!
Tuner wants WOT in 3rd from 2000-6000 problem is It still wants to spin in 7th

Add some fuel in rear tank, let out some air from tires then see which gear I can do a 2000-6000 rpm pull in.

Will have to have the dragy in too. See if it will run 100 mph in 1/8 th

With a 3.50 gear in diff and a low 27" tall tire add in the 4.69 1st gear and even with power in 1 & 2nd dialed back it's still a handful.

Ha! Too many BIG irons in fire 🔥 so no time to take
It apart again! 4000 mi so far

[TimeWarpF100]

Next one has a 15” ring gear and 2spd diff so will take some serious
Hp to make it move. Should ne good in Autocross tho. Especially with its 72’ turning radius

1966 N700 CrewCab

Built by Louisville KY truck plant june 1966 for the Northern Pacific Railway for use as a high rail truck. Dump bed too.

I found it hiding behind this chicken shed where it sat at least 31 yrs. Bringing it back to life.

Although a bunch more costly decided to go original vs taking cab and dropping on something else ruining the Railroad history at same time.

For well over 30 yrs the decal on door was covered in white paint protecting it from the elements. I was able to figure out how to remove white paint revealing the mint decal underneath.

Long history this truck has.

[TimeWarpF100]

Truck update
Have driven 8000 miles in past year. All over Arizona and trip
To Southern California.

If I put a bit of a tune to it showed to make 603hp and 658tq to tire and that was restricted by the PCM power management closing throttle.
Without question the tq would have shot past 700 if PCM had not taken over. It also did a big restriction on the HP both midrange and top end.

660 lb ft of tq by 3000 RPM is pretty nuts but fun!

The 10 Spd automatic does wonders for it also.

On the trip to california we got caught in some very very heavy headwinds and we were running 75-80 mph. Drove to Southern Cal then put on 135 miles while there which was 505 miles by the time we got to car show then were able to drive all the way back home on a single fill of fuel.

19.5 for the first 505 miles mostly because of speed and heavy winds but were rewarded on way home with 24.8 mpg as slowed it to 65 mph or less just to make round trip not having to add fuel. Overall average was 22.0 mpg
