This is the engine out of rons f250 with future plans for a strait axle conversion, a lift and a lot of other goodies. But first something has to be done with this worn out, busted boat anchor.
So first we found a good, low milage engine from a rv with 30,000 miles. we disassembled and inspected bearings and rings, everything looked brand new. heads went of to the machine shop for a check over and valve spring change for the new performance cam. meantime we started the assembly of the short block.
We installed a new oil pan, timing chain and water pump taking care to sandblast and paint all other parts.
With the cylender heads back from the machine shop ( thanks to the good work of Mid South Machine Shop Athens TN) its starting to look like a engine now.
Time for accessories and brackets.
Now we're waiting for a new edelbrock intake manifold, billet fuel rails and valve covers.
Stay tuned thers more to come after the holidays, Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!
