The F250 AKA "Pebbles"

Nice deal Jon.

[grandpaslincoln]

Oh, he knows.

Went to Pirates house this morning and picked up the engine. Got two oil pans, accessory brackets, headers, two sets of upper and lower EFI intakes, fuel rail, 3G alternator, and the EFI computer and complete harness from his T-bird for 200 bucks.

Did you remember to tell him he's a jerk?

[grandpaslincoln]

He's putting a 4.6 in the 92 T-Bird, wanted to dump all of his 5.0 stuff because it was taking up space in the garage.



He also gave me a deep AOD truck pan, so that'll be cool. I'm probably going to be going carb, so if anyone wants any of this EFI shit, let me know. I'll probably list it in For Sale.

wow... he's parting that thing out cheap. must really wanna get rid of that heap.

I'm picking up an engine, plus a shit ton of extra goodies for it tomorrow. It's a rollerblock from a T-bird. Pirate is selling it to me. Should be fun.

Plus, the 240 is wiped out, it's been rebuilt once before back in the 80's or so, and it's making a lot of noise now. Would be more cost effective to find different running gear. I may be able to get a 302 roller block here pretty soon, with EFI that would beat the pants off of a 240 or 300 any day in MPG, HP, and torque.

[grandpaslincoln]

I need more power and better fuel economy.

[p71towny]

Inline six for the win. You're better off.

[grandpaslincoln]

Indeed. But I'll put money into the truck where I should be. Making the brakes work. I guess if I'm going to go fast I should be able to slow down. Never thought I'd hear myself say that.

[sly]

bah!

[grandpaslincoln]

Well that dream was fun while it lasted. Fucking water heater in the RV sprung a leak after I repaired it, so I gotta spend the money on one of those. Shit never ends.

[sly]

nice.

[grandpaslincoln]

By this time tomorrow I'll have a 306, an AOD, and some go fast parts in the bed of Pebbles, all for $350.
