ArdWrknTrk Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 '97 for 250-350's (no '98's, then the Superduty for '99) The 150's got the body refresh in '96. Not a fan of that tailgate. I do watch this guy's teardowns sometimes, but his level of snark generally has me cutting it short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do watch this guy's teardowns sometimes, but his level of snark generally has me cutting it short. I think he said it came from a 1996 per the yard that sold him the core. Agreed, the post 1996 F150 is one of the worst excuses of a truck to bear the F-series designation. "Consumerized"... He's more of a Miata and BMW expert (and Bowties, to a lesser degree). And there is a lot of snark, that's part of his persona... not everybody's sense of humor. If it means anything, the only other "old" Ford truck engine he's done was a locked up 300 from a Bricknose that was "at the bottom of a core hopper"... and both apparently were hard to find in a "bad" form .

He said Aeronose or OBS. If it came from a 150, then it wasn't it was the newer body style.... They had 302s 351s 300s and 460s up into 97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have sworn I heard "came from a 1996" but then again, I was rewiring the instrument cluster for my Boat and wasn't paying attention all that much. Thread title edited.

I'm not saying you're wrong.... It isn't his specialty, I don't think he knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoy his videos and especially the snark! He is humble and admits he is only a guy that knows how to remove nuts and bolts. (Or something to that extent) I thought his specialty was Toyota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desirable F4TE roller 351W block. Shame it's got all that rust in the cylinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat in tn Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I really enjoy his videos and especially the snark! He is humble and admits he is only a guy that knows how to remove nuts and bolts. (Or something to that extent) I thought his specialty was Toyota fairly good video. as to the snark, I don't think he has a clue about how he comes across. he knows enough to do tear downs, but I would not buy anything that he built. I know he is a part seller not a mechanic. he is doing demo videos so I wish he would take it more seriously as many may think he is an expert.
