F-100 Rebuild

Well, it’s been a minute, but after the move I finally got a little done today. Going to head in for the night, but it’s coming together.

Did you get the engine taken care of

Not yet. I want to get it all put together and then I’ll concentrate on the power plant. But, I did speak with Will’s and they said bring in what I have.

Decided on an Ebony stain for the bed. I think it turned out okay...

If you can find some 312 heads it will power it up a bit.

As long as it has a good lope and looks cool, I’ll be happy. All I need is something to cruise down to the drive-in and up to the pub in.

John Kasse has a video on YouTube of a 550hp y block that he built. Lord knows what it cost but it’s cool.

I keep finding Edelbrock and Fenton 3x2 intakes and love the idea of three duces, but the ease and reliability of a 4-barrel are tempting.

No doubt the three deuces look very cool but trying to get them to work well can be a nightmare. If you want to go with them, the best way I have seen is to just use the middle one to run the engine and the front and rear ones are just dummies. That way you have the cool look without the hassle.
