Eight years ago, a 4.9L was pulled out of a ‘95 F150 that was just sitting in a field.
I completely rebuilt it it with some slight modifications to suit my wants/ needs.
Mostly stock internals supplied by a Holley Sniper 2300 through an Offenhauser C Series w/ EFI headers, Walker y-pipe and small glass pack ending with 3” pipe behind the rear tire.

7 years ago I pulled a 4R70W out of a ‘95 F150 w/ a 302 that had been in a wreck. Again, completely rebuild by me in a Frankenstein vein, controlled by a US Shift Quick 4.

Three days ago some friends came over to help me with first start and break-in.

I cannot express how thankful I am that the three EXPERTS you’ll see, graciously provided me with not only moral support but their much needed diagnostic skills.

In this video are Matt (mat in tn), Dave (FuzzFace2) and John (Cracker289). - THANK YOU!

So now we need some names to go with the faces. I worked out which one is Kurt, the tall one. But what about the rest of y'all?

Re: Friends

I had forgotten about all the confusion over the fans. focused on dist and key.
I see my older brother almost daily and I watch him work, walk, talk etc. I'm amazed at how much I look like him in this video. and I'm so grateful that I don't feel as old as I look.

I think Gary was trying to figure out who was who in that video so we can have a face to the name... like "I'm the one with the hat and gray shirt", etc ,etc... won't push y'all if you don't want to be identified

Yeah, I knew what Gary was getting at, but Susan had already admonished me for even posting their names!
I decided that if they want to point themselves out, they will.

Fair enough

That is what I read between the lines with your response to Gary.

I'm kinda sad my baby brother sold his hobby farm in Siler City....

Would love to meet you guys.

Be aware that there's a good truck junk yard in the area...

I was thinking that you had said that a while back as I was driving home through there. btw. I'm the skinny one in the streetside classics shirt.

Well, I wish I was skinny, sometimes...

But y'all came together and got that truck started!
This is a shining example of the vision Gary has for the forum.

Dave comes from "the toe" of CT and worked at the same hospital my grandmother did for decades.
It's a much smaller world than many of us may think. 💡

Re: Friends

and I'm from south Boston area originally. but I know how people come together and help. one time in Murphreesboro TN I had a load of osb for a job, break straps and fold out like a deck of cards in the intersection. I had half back on the truck by the time anyone stopped as opposed to driving around me. the one guy who stopped had a Boston accent and a red sox hat on. go figure.
