Hey Everyone,
I’ve had this F100 for a few years.. it started it’s life as a local city work truck. I bought it for 300 bucks a 4 years ago and did some work to it .built a hot ford 300 six banger, rocked that for a bit . Then my Mopar side took over and this is the result.
It’s got a 69 383 big block Mopar .030 over
Has 9.2:1 compression
Ported stage six heads
Port matched M1 intake
Crower ground me a cam per my specs for the turbo
Stock rods / stock fordged crank
Manton pushrods
Harland sharp roller rockers
B3 Engine made me some rocker shaft spacers to get the rocker arm geometry on point
K motion k-850 valve springs Etc
The Turbo is a S475
Transmission is a Mopar Hemi 4 speed that has been sent to Liberty and has all of their gears and input and output shafts
It has a 8.75 rear out back with spool and 35 spline axles
I’m sure I’m leaving a bunch of stuff out I’m new to turbos so any feedback or advice is greatly appreciated

 

I never thought a mopar in a ford . Very different and cool.

 

Thank you!

 

Looks badass!

I like the fact that there is not an LS in there, I mean I'm all for good and affordable power but the Mopar in there makes it unique, got numbers? how much boost?

Thanks for sharing.

 

Cool truck. If not a real motor...aka Ford...haha...at least you put a Mopar in it and not an LS.

 

I’m only shooting for 12-15 lbs on the 383 not sure what it will make HP wise it has a small nitrous express kit on it just in case
I’m in the process of building a 470 to replace the 383 I’m shooting for 20 lbs and 900 hp with the 470

 

So I got the down pipe mocked up today. I was wondering on such a short downpipe how close are you guys running the O2 sensor to the turbine housing?

I peer into the background of your pics..................... I believe the Force is strong with this one. Really nice job. Just put the o2 as close to the turbine as you can. With it open 1 foot away you will not have 02 pressure creep, and the further away it is from the end, the lower the rpm will be before the open air contaminates the signal until its unusable.

The picture you posted makes the stack garnish/detail painted or stickered. Is that the case? If so, thats pretty cool.

 

Thank you for the kind words. The trim ring is actually aluminum though it does appear to look like a sticker in the pics.

 

This thing is so badass. Love it. Great wheel & tire choice in the first post, too. S475 is a great turbo choice on a 383 B engine. You'll run out of turbo pretty quickly on the 470, though. VS Racing offers some quality, affordable turbos in the S400 frame when you get to that point.

 

Thanks! Yeah the first wheels are what my race tires are on. The street tires are on torque thrusts and black Steelies. I’m hoping to have the 470 done for Rocky Mountain race week next year.

 

Like it!

 

Yeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

 

We did it last year and will likely be there next year as well! RMRW is the beeeeeeeesssstttt!!!!

But it has rained a lot in the past so the vertical dump may not be ideal!

Still has I-beams?

 

Awesome truck man!

 

It currently has a crown Vic under the front
I have a 90 that slips over just Incase

 

Thanks man! Your truck is awesome as well

 

This is an incredibly awesome truck. This is exactly how I want the 66 F100 my dad and I are working on to turn out. Fantastic job. Could you post more pictures and details about the truck. Suspension and chassis, fuel system?

 

The rear suspension is in the middle of being changed over from cal tracs and leafs to coilovers and ladder bars. The front is a crown Vic and the fuel system is a aeromotive A1000 pump and a boost referenced regulator with #8 line from cell to carb. I can take any pics you’d like to see
