As long as it isn't a Barry Grant I prefer a carb. I couldn't agree with you more. I have never in my life seen a carb like Barry Grant that is so tempermental. Ive been Drag racing for years with a bunch of buddies and one of my friends bought a Brand new Demon. This thing was junk right out of th...

Dog Hair ? .........Hmmmmm. I have had my stuff clogged with a variety of stuff but .........

Damn Dogs !!! Hahahaha !!

What Series is a 223 ? Is that an FT ? FE ? What. I would also like to know what my motor options are. What will mount to that 3 on the tree ?

Cool Man !!! Keep the 6er too !!! They're way cooler than V8's !!! Hahahaha JK

Welcome Aboard !!!

I would always opt to have my rockers too loose than to tight. Good way to wear out your cam and lifters. Ive read the Lash was 19 but i don't remember where i read it. I need to do mine soon cause at idle i get a bit of chatter. Im gonna set mine at 17 Intake / 19 exhaust. Maybe 17 across the board...

Would be a good project truck. Rip out that 351C and throw a Windsor or such in there (maybe an FE), paint it nicely (keep the wheels, I love them) and then put a different (most likely stock) grill back into it and there you go. Even a mild 2 inch chop would look nice too. I like these trucks lowe...

These truck look horrible with the roof chopped. JMO. Those raygun things are beggin to be snapped off by some little kid at a car show. I could see it now..... " What do these do ? ..... SNAP !! " Is it just me or do those rocker panels look huge !!

Although the paint job on my grille ( Currently ) is horrible i actually like the way he had it painted. Only the Rectangles are painted. People actually compliment me on the grille all the time. They say it looks mean from a distance. Im not much into chrome. I much prefer my stuff painted. I guess...

Either im gonna look like a tool or im gonna learn something real quick. This truck on EGay is advertised as a 1964 F-100. I have never seen this grille before in my life and im wondering if any of you have or know what this is. http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w263/Bodyworx25/brnfordtrk.jpg Mine ...

Lurk no more !!! Welcome !!

And i thought I had a lot of U-Joints to replace.......Ha ...... I was wrong.

Welcome aboard !!!

Welcome Aboard !!! Nicee Truck. Trust me there will be plenty of bugs to work out but dont give up. It took me till about May 07 to get mine reliable but its well worth the wait. If you're a Torino Fan then you should know that i just looked at a Ratted out 1964 Ford Truck at a car show last weekend...

Niiiiice !!! 2 see another one on the road !!!

So far i like the 223. My Only complaint is it is so damn slow. Im also used to driving Drag Cars and my everyday car is a Formula Firebird so i guess its not a fair comparison. I was told by an old timer at a gas station the other day that the Ford 223 was used in a variety of Industrial applicatio...

Honestly i cant answer all those Q's cause i dont know. My Rear end is a mystery that i havent gotten to yet. I recently installed a new coil and plugs and wires Cap and rotor. I filed a very small V shaped notch in the electrrode of my plugs to widen my spark after a buddy of mine that i used to Dr...

My Wife is constantly nagging and teasing me about my urge to drive "Old Beat Up Stuff " Ha .... well today my friends, was a victory for all old vehicles. Both of our Vehicles were on E so i decided to challenge her to a Fuel mileage dual that i was sure i was going to lose. To make it fa...

If you need any parts off of a 223 or just want another complete engine I have the one out of my 63. It comes with the 3 speed manual. Do you by any chance have a 1 bbl carb ? Im gonna hit my local junkyard today and see if i can find a carb for parts. Unfortunately i dont have a vehicle that will ...

I have a 223 in my truck, I get 17-18 mpg. I have a 3.70 rear and just got a 3.25, I'm curious if I can squeeze a little more. As far as I understand, only a t-5 is the only newer trans that will work as Greg says and use his link to the fordsix forum, alot of good info. out there. Shame your not c...

i think ill stick to my 223 w/ a 3spd for now. Once i work all the bugs out of it i will cool out. Im just frustrated at Old stuff that people fix improperly and make my job harder. Thats the price we pay i guess. This nimrod ran in the mixture screw so far he actually broke the mixture screw housin...
