MY wife was taking the video she is still learning!

Pretty good run. I got a '66 F100 with a 418 FE . I live up in the Austin area. And i made some test runs in Seguin. Had a new Carb, and new Ignition. was having some issues hooking up. Here is one of the quicker runs. it was 13.13 @ 100mph. I have to big a stall in the truck right now. This truck h...

When you find out let me know! Cause I would like the to know the same thing. I know they use to meet up at the old Albertson's at 620 and I-35. Not sure if any one still does or not?

I live in Hutto so I am in your area. I have '66 SWB that I race and drive on the street. Only car show I know of is the one at 620 and 35 were the old Albertson use to be.

416 thats the way to go!!..... I had mine balanced so it raps up nicely!! Mayhem Bob had a nice running truck. We talked alot just before he passed way RIP!!.. He was a great help when I was building my engine. I can tell you this. He made some 11's runs before he passed with his newer engine. I gue...

I moved mine to the rear of the bed, but ai still have my starter solenoid in the engine compartment. I actually moved it to the fire wall on the passneger side of the engine. I am still contemplating on were to put the ignition box. So it is still mounted on the driver side inner fender well. I am ...

I like hearing about old truck still int he family. My old truck was passed down to me by my dad which he bought it in 1968. I have done several modificatios to it. Such as making into a short wheel base, doing some rattle can custom painting:) and most impsrtantly rebuilding the engine trans and re...

Well .. I have a all cast iron engine except the intake which is aluminum. and have moved the battery to the back. So lets just say I lost a total of 130 pounds off the front. The truck is set up for more drag than drivability. So if I find a scale I would have to haul it to it. So I am kinda lookin...

I have a 1966 Ford F100 SWB with a 390Fe in it. I am wanderng if any one new what the front might weight? OR what the truck weights and the transfer is? As far as what percent on the front and rear?

Need to make a trip to Sealy .. than maybe I will make the trip from Austin that way! But probably not this year.

I agree the larger line will add more displacement of fuel. Which inturn the hard you accelerate the more the pump has to push. Thats why raising your float bowls a little bit and bumping up your idle and fuel pressure can help. Again the to big of line and not enough pressure to push the fuel can c...

I agree the air/fuel ratio meter is a good thing to have, but who has $300 to buy one?? I want one real bad, but can't get one right now. A good turner can tune the carb to what he/she needs. Also you can run alot more hp on 3/8 line than 400hp. Best thing to do is fine the problem? It could be just...

Got a couple suggestion. I would check your timing to make sure it is advancing to what the engine needs. Also not sure what carburator your running but check your linkage. A guy from another forum had a similar problem and found his carburator throttle plates were not opening all the way. I ran out...

Thats great news!! glad to hear your back into it. Maybe one day we can meet up some were. I am hole lot younger but always glad to hear a few stories. Sorry to here about your wife. Good luck with your projects!! need an help just email me.!

Actually I meet Bob and his wife a couple years ago up in Oklahoma at the first FE Races that were put on at local drag strip. Really nice guy!! At the time he was making 12.30 pass consistenly with his full body truck. He lived in North east Texas and keep in contact by email. He helped me alot wit...

If you want check out my gallery. I have a 1966 ford F100 I mounted a harwood 5" cowl on it. I riveted it in and filled in the witt body filler to cover the rivets. But I would be interested in a full fiberglass hood as long as it is lighter.

FE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!

It is hard to believe that engine wieghts that much more but it does. I appreciate all the information. Now it is just a matter of finding the right springs. I have moved my battery to the rear fo the bed and also the removed the tank from beind the seat. I have fuel cell mounted behind the rear axl...

My plan is to install both of them. thatis what we did on my friends fired bird was a set of Moroso trick springs and some 90/10 drag struts. so yeah I believe a combination of the two will work great...

Actually what I am doing is wanting to buy a set of drag springs for the front to help keep the front up when I take off. We installed a set on a friend of mines firebird and really made a difference in how his car launched. So I am trying to get it pretty close what I need as far as weight.
