Hi John,

I've had real good experience with "pre-built" engines. They usually come with
a pretty good warranty as well. If you haven't done an engine before, maybe
just getting a "longblock" (crankcase with heads only, you use your old valve
covers, oil pan, etc. a "shortblock would be the crankcase only, no cylinder
head..) would be a good way to go. This way, all the critical machine work
will be done for you already. Pulling an engine, replacing the covers and
other periphial components, and putting it back in is a job that can be
completed by someone who has some mechanical ability and a reasonable set of
tools....Once you see what size job it is, for the next round, you can start
from scratch with a junkyard motor and do a little at a time and build the
exact kind of engine you want....

Let us know which way you go.....Like Steve said, we'll help as much as we
can...

Good Luck!

Colorado Jeff

A buddy at work asked (axed??) me today if I could find out if
he could put F350 rear springs on his F100, he wants to use
it to haul his camper, it does have a Dana 60 in it now, with a
cheesy helper spring. What do you guys think??

Dunno 'bout F350 springs, but I put a set of F250 "camper special"
springs (7 leaves + 1 overload) under my '71 F100. (9" axle) I removed
one leaf to make 6+1's and I've hauled 1800+lbs of firewood over 110
miles twice this year and the springs could easily have taken more.
Sure made me wish for disk brakes tho...

Subject: FTE 61-79 - ADMIN: Pigeon Forge show info - last one before I go

Wednesday I leave for the Pigeon Forge F100 Supernationals.

Regardless of whether we get the promised booth we have the following
two events scheduled:

Saturday, 10am until ??? - Get together followed by lunch
- --------------------------------------------------------
In front of the Convention Center, under the canopy. You can't miss
it, the show is next to it and there's a bazillion trucks on front lawn
in front of it. The meeting will be informal and I plan to be there from
9:50 until we decide to head out. Bring a lunch and drinks, we'll find a
place where we can go as a group to eat. Per Garry Bowling's suggestion,
I'm going to briefly address the group (I hate speaking in public!).


Sunday, 8 am until ??? - Sunday breakfast
- ----------------------------------------
Breakfast really won't get underway until 8:30 but there will be people
there at 8am. Bring donuts, bagels, McDonalds or whatever, enough for
you and may a couple extra to put on the table for the group. This
will be at a pavillion at Patriots Park. We'll have directions at the
Saturday get together and at our booth. Sorry that this is so early
but many people are heading out early to get home at a reasonable hour.

To get a nametag/badge to wear to identify yourself, go to:

http://www.ford-trucks.com/badge.gif

and simply print it out.

When you register for the show, please list Ford Truck Enthusiasts
as the group/club you're with. We want Pat Ford, the promoter,
to know that we support his event so we can make our booth a
yearly thing.

If you have any questions concerning the show, email me privately at
kpayne mindspring.com before 3:00pm Wednesday.

Lastly, any email sent to my webmaster ford-trucks.com will receive
an autoresponder message. I'll be unavailble until the show is over
on the 16th.

Later,

Hello all, this is my first posting. I own a 78 Ford Bronco, and love it.
I recently thought I needed a new Oil Pump...but the mechanic told me the
engine is just about done. Now this truck is pretty much original....but I
don't know whether to replace the engine or sell it. Any suggestions???

If it's not raining here in Southern California (it never rains. Ha!)
tomorrow. I'll go take some measurements on my F350 and compare them to
my F100. From looking at them, I don't see why not.
