Hello all.

My name's Ian and I'm from SE Texas.

I got my truck last July and have been restoring it since then. I plan to drop a stroked 351W into it as soon as I can. It's a 1980 F350 SRW Camper Special.

Welcome, Ian!  Glad you joined.  

SE Tejas?  IIRC, when you cross the bridge coming out of Houston you cross the "Old & Lost Rivers".  Never understood how you could lose a river.  

Anyway, we could put you on our map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map on the menu) if you'd give me a city closer than "SE Texas".  But, not an address.

Hah! I believe they call it that because it was once part of the Trinity.

I am North of Houston in Conroe, TX.

You are now on the map.  And I do know where Conroe is as I used to live in Katy and we traveled through there many times on I-45.

I was thinking a 393 but I'm not quite decided.

Previous owner put in a 351W from a late 80s Bronco.

Interesting choice for a 350, when it would have come with an 351M or 400 using the big pattern bellhousing.
That's where I was going. Inquiring as to which transmission you were using.
But, fortunately it's already done!
