Gary? Matthew 16:23 Hmmm... someone might have said, "if that was meant as a compliment, then I thank you", but I believe he likely was smarter than that!

Take a look at the intake manifold [of the 2 cylinder] and imagine cutting out the center of an original log manifold.

Gary?

Cory needs this!

Clean truck!

I have a coolant cutoff valve [going to the heater core]. During the hot weather months, I cut off the coolant flow.

Go with the 195F. It is the one Ford engineers thought best. Borrow someone's hand held infrared thermometer and point at the base of the thermostat, after the engine has come to temperature [a good long drive]. That will reveal which one is in the engine, now.

You?

Wow! Hmmm... put that in my truck and take on Paul [Rogue Wulff] next year in the gas mileage test!!! Where is the intake manifold? Direct injection of some type? I found the following: Hydrogen Engine Center Unveils 3-Cylinder, 2.4L Mini Oxx 01 April 2006 Hydrogen Engine Center (HEC) unveiled its new Mini Oxx three-cylinder 2.4L engine at the Aviation Industry Expo in Las Vegas, Nev. The Mini Oxx is a compact version of HEC’s Oxx Power six-cylinder 4.9L engine—the company’s basic product. (Earlier post.) HEC is targeting the 65hp (48.5kW) Mini Oxx for applications such as luggage tractors and other airport ground support equipment. The new three-cylinder engine features interchangeable parts with its six cylinder counterpart. We wanted the engines to share some of the same components to increase efficiency in production and maintenance. Seventy-two of the 81 parts used in the six cylinder, 4.9L engine are the same for the new three cylinder Mini Oxx and are interchangeable. —Ted Hollinger, president of HEC HEC Engines produced at HEC are sold under the Oxx Power brand. In addition to their gasoline engines, HEC developed a family of engines that use fuels such as hydrogen, natural gas, propane, and methane. The engines include the same essential technologies and can be converted to use hydrogen when it is available. HEC has targeted production of the Mini Oxx to begin in the first quarter of 2007. Posted on 01 April 2006 in Engines, Hydrogen | Permalink | Comments (2) Comments At 0.8L per cylinder, this engine is built for low-end torque and fuel efficiency, not high RPM. The 65hp rating is fairly meaningless for the applications it is intended for. Still, it is ironic that hydrogen is to be used at airports, where jet engine emissions and fuel consumptions are sky-high anyhow. Luggage tractors et al. are prime candidates for serial electric hybrids with small diesel engines. And: Home > Hydrogen News > Press Area > Hydrogen Engine Center Hydrogen Engine Center Unveils Mini Oxx Three Cylinder 2.4L Engine Wednesday March 29, 11:04 am ET LAS VEGAS, March 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hydrogen Engine Center (HEC) today unveiled the new Mini Oxx three cylinder 2.4L engine at Aviation Industry Expo in Las Vegas, Nev. The Mini Oxx is a compact version of HEC's Oxx Power six cylinder 4.9L engine. "Before the conception of the Mini Oxx many aviation experts were consulted regarding the feasibility of a three cylinder engine for the industrial market," said Ted Hollinger, president of HEC. "We discovered a need for a smaller version of our 4.9L engine." The Mini Oxx will produce approximately 65 horsepower. Many applications exist for the Mini Oxx including luggage tractors and other airport ground support equipment. The new three cylinder engine will also feature interchangeable parts with its six cylinder counterpart. "We wanted the engines to share some of the same components to increase efficiency in production and maintenance," said Hollinger. "Seventy-two of the 81 parts used in the six cylinder, 4.9L engine are the same for the new three cylinder Mini Oxx and are interchangeable." The Mini Oxx is the newest addition to HEC product line that already includes five engines. Engines produced at HEC are sold under the Oxx Power brand. In addition to their gasoline engines, HEC developed a family of engines that use fuels such as hydrogen, natural gas, propane, and methane. The engines include the same essential technologies and can be converted to use hydrogen when it is available. "We were presented with a challenge and we exceeded expectations in the creation of the Mini Oxx," said Hollinger. "We are committed to the promise of hydrogen fuel; it burns cleaner and it reduces our dependence of foreign sources of fuel." HEC has targeted production of the Mini Oxx to begin in the first quarter of 2007.

Ok, fair enough. Thanks for all the responses. The reason I was asking was, ever since I installed the Mustang 5.0 dual snorkel intake, the truck stinks bad when I bring it home and pull into the garage. Like gas/fumes smell. I've pulled the air cleaner cover off, and it is the air filter that smells...or it is the air filter that is holding the smell. Any idea what would cause this? It was never an issue with the open element air cleaner, for 2 seasons. Maybe it has something to do with the other issues I'm currently working on, like replacing my leaky intake gasket, and getting the carb set-up properly, but I wanted to look into it while I'm in the process of getting this thing all dialed back in properly. Make the corrections to your carburetor, or replace it as previously discussed, and see if the objectionable smell goes away? That way you will know if the carburetor and vacuum leak was the issue. Then, change the filter element, if desired.

Your work is impressive!

I think it has very good "bones"... meaning that the body looks pretty good and straight. What is going against the sale is the fact that it is not running. In prior discussions, it has been stated that if one cannot hear the engine run or be able to drive the truck, one must assume the worst and that drops the starting point to scrap value. That is a difficult pill to swallow. I make it a practice not to price another's vehicle as I do not want to offend. I believe others will have a better idea of the value. Good luck!

Looks like a good project. You must be a big man as the F150 looks small behind you!
