82F250 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Hello my name is Robert. I have a 1982 F-250, standard cab long bed. My father purchased it new and I inherited it. It is a 400 cid, NP 435 four speed and Borg WRner 1345 I believe. 77,800 original miles and still runs great. It is equipped with an even cam and MSD ignition. Future upgrade plans: Solid front Dana 60 New seats. Fuel injection Hydraulic clutch Paint Thanks for the add! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Welcome! The 400 is my favorite engine, and can be built into a powerhouse. I have one I'm planning to put Ford's EEC-V EFI on. On the clutch, make sure you read this: Driveline/Clutches & Linkage. The Clutch Linkage tab explains about the need for a reinforcement plate if going to a hydraulic clutch. Are you keeping the NP435? Have you thought about a ZF5 swap to get the overdrive? What kind of new seats? Later model seats can be added, as described here: Interior/Seat Interchangeability. Anyway, you might want to create a thread in the main section, or the project section, for your truck and its upgrades. And we will follow along.
