I'm with you Charlie- I'm sticking with the 223 six-banger in my 61...pretty darn easy to work on, even for me

Another vote for the mighty FE. :hello:

I really like those engines, even if they are a dinosoaur.

I also like the idea of a 351W with fuel injection & a 5-speed. I believe I'll have to give this combo a try really soon.
I've never really been one for a 6 cylinder & have only owned one, a 1980 F150 4x4. It was ok, but didn't tickle my twinkie.

I don't like blue engines, I hate orange engines, and those green engines just really piss me off. Thanks, Lyman. ( My engine is currently blue with blue overspray all over the firewall.)

Lyman you must like '65s then :wink:

they are the ones with the Black engine blocks (on the 352's)

Speaking of red engines, this was on eGouge a couple years ago, on a bumpside.
Advertised as a 427 TP engine...simply mouthwatering! :shock:

ROFL Knew I would get a rise out of someone with that.

Actually I like all makes of vehicles and no I don't believe in mix matching.

But if I were to chose my favorite Ford engine for a project it would have to be 427 SOHC or Boss 429.

And real world budget, nothing like a nice good old reliable 289

No kidding! I think I'll delete mine in shame! :cry:

BOSS 429 or a 428 Cobra Jet for a hotrod

a 6.0 power stroke with the torqueshift automatic trans for towing

351 Cleveland like I currently have in my '65 F-250 for driving around

(i'd like to try a 5.0 stroker crank in an '03 Cobra DOHC 4.6 block and eaton supercharger with a richmond 6 speed trans)

It's not a slick, it's a bump...but it's still way cool.

Here's the rest of the pics I saved...

I don't remember why I didn't save any interior shots...maybe because the rest of the truck more than made up for whatever the interior may have lacked. :lol:
