Pair of 1986 Bullnose Ford's
 
|
I just picked up my second project over the last couple of months, the more I work on these Fords the more I like them!
The first one is an 86 Bronco. Fuel Injected 302. I have already replaced the tailgate, it runs and drives but has a leaky rear main. I want to stay small block, but it really needs some more TQ and HP! The Second - I just picked up this week. 1986 F350 Crew Cab. Carb'd 460 that runs, but needs a lot of love. I picked it up to tow the jet boats to the lake (Can't pull Ford Nitrous and Blown jet boats with a new F150 right). SO, even though I once said no more projects - here we go again. I am located in Newcastle, OK and lived in Skiatook at one time so hopefully I can bring at least one of them up to a get together.

Welcome! Glad you joined.
 Want to be on the map? (We don't put people on w/o approval.) Newcastle! Shame you don't have a decent lake down there. Bet you'll bring those boats up to a nice lake.  On the Bronco, while I agree that more torque is good, you are very limited in what you can do with the speed-density EFI system. But a carbed 351W will fit nicely, although if you have the AOD tranny it might not like it. But that 460 will have the torque to tow. However, my 2015 F150 w/a 3/5L Ecoboost tows better than my 7.5L. Towed our 25' Sea Ray to Lake Powell and back with it and got 11 MPG. Big Blue gets 11 running light.

Yes Sir, feel free to put me on the map.
My daily is a 2018 F150 with the ECO - its towed the Cheyenne to Lake Havasu a couple of times. I hit Keystone for Thursday Nights. The 460 will be a gas hog but add a lot of old school style. When is the annual get together in Skiatook? If you see these headed down the road behind a bullnose make sure to say hello.

Lake Havasu? So you've seen London Bridge? As have I. Boy, did McCulloch have a surprise!
If I see one of those boats I'll flag you down. And, you are now on the map. The get together is the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, and there will be a dinner the night before for members and their wife/family/friend.
