Redneckedness Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Figured I’d show y’all the latest on my sons project F250. It certainly has been a learning experience. Thanks to Gary and everyone who have given me advise. Ive gotten this far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I'm interested to see how it's coming along! What kind of headers do you have on there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneckedness Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 I'm interested to see how it's coming along! What kind of headers do you have on there? Hahaha, i thought i did.

Redneckedness Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 I'm interested to see how it's coming along! What kind of headers do you have on there? Theyre L&L headers I got from Gary. They were a bear to get in but we did it. Had to take the transmission off to get them in. They fit nice. Cant wait to hear them.

I forget how Gary said they clear the front driveshaft, but I suppose they did with the lift in Big Blue. Are you going to be running the AIR pumps? Must feel like quite an accomplishment to have the engine back in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must feel like quite an accomplishment to have the engine back in! Were using the original starter for now but weve removed all the smog equipment. We dont have the driveshafts in yet but it looks like theres plenty of room for everything. Theres not a lot of info out there on these trucks compared to other vehicles, but weve managed. Im not good with computers/smart phones which probably has hindered me a little. Feels great to get this far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't yet have the new/replacement headers but already have the tranny in. Perhaps I'd better get onto that ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I'd better get onto that ASAP.The drivers side header got wedged between the crossmember and the firewall and the top of the motor was hitting the top of the firewall/trans tunnel. Had to go in at to steep an angle to leave the trans on. Was tight with the trans off too. Its a big motor. Scratched a little paint. 😡 If i was to do it again i would probably lift the cab a few inches first. Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tomato or pineapple juice can, opened up on the side is shiny and very low mass. Heat reflective loom or sheaths with ceramic weave inside can slip over the cable. Both are cheap options. Though a PMGR starter for a manual 460 was under $60 outright from DB last time I checked. I think you're doing Great! 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
