@@lowellfunk8974 the rear springs are actually missing a few lol. I'm just giving it hell till I can afford a 4" bds kit and I'm gonna do 3-4 link. Stay tuned!
I put mine up in the garage after changing. No matter how bald, or worn they are. As long as they’re holding air. Never know when you or a buddy might need a tire👍🏼
You really need to swap the T18 (or NP435) for a '84 Diesel T19 or a Diesel ZF S5-42 - I put a Diesel T19 behind a 1986 F150 w/300-4bbl Comp Cam 260H 212°/212° with 1.7 Rockers, and a 3.25:1 Locking 9" Axle.... You Loose "Granny Gear" but on your 4x4 you have Low Range on 205 T-Case so no biggie...My Truck was ON ROAD 2WD...So No biggie.....The T19/S5-42 gears are MUCH closer together so when you shift you aren't dropping BELOW your torque curve....The 300-6 and the 6.9 IDI have almost identical torque curves, especially with some cam added!
I just shift out at 3k and I don't bottom out on the curve but it's pretty bad bog down when u hit 3rd. It would be nice to have i od too but granny low pays for itself
Yep definitely a necessity. I did that in the first part of the video but didn't really record because I had too much going on trying to keep that rpm up
@@ivanpudge1187 my off the shelf comp cams 268 work and has a nice chop too it but if I were to do it again I would find a company I can't remember the name to make you a custom grind with the characteristics you want. Get a lot more chomp out of it
@@dilbeck6785 I know yours is carved but do you know anything bout camming a EFI setup with auto trans? What all is needed to be done for it to be successful and what if I'm trying to produce more power instead of just having a loud idle
You'll be looking for a really mild grind, if you're running one of the speed-density efi systems. 1995 California and all 1996 4.9 engines had a MAF sensor. Those are a little more forgiving of larger cams. Otherwise, you'll have the computer coughing and sputtering, or you'll cough up cash for someone to dyno tune it with a tweecer or something. The dyno tune is well worth it, but have him leave the fuel just a touch fat, to avoid detonation. If you're camping the engine, consider a roller grind. I think there is a way to use roller lifters from a 302 or something. Be sure to replace the timing gears with a set for a 1972 F600 with the 300 six.
