* Olds 455 30 over and balanced, crank is 10 and 10, hi volume oil pump with 6 1/2 quart pan. Crower hydraulic cam. G heads with port and polish, Ferrea stainless valves, Comp Cams roller rockers, and ARP head studs to hold then down. * Offy tunnel ram with a pair or Holley 600 vacuum secondary carbs. * MSD ignition and distributor * Custom side exit exhaust have removable caps * Dual pass aluminum radiator with electric fan * Th 400 transmission and 3500 rpm Coan stall speed * 3.90 Richmond gears. locker differential and 28 spline Superior axles * 1956 Ford F100 front axle with disc brake conversion with line lock installed. 1956 F100 steering gear box rebuilt this year. * Full set of Autometer Gauges that all work with exception of the fuel pressure gauge that is just not hooked up. Yes it has a working speedometer. * Procar seats and Simpson harness on the drivers side with regular belt for the passenger. There are not a lot of frills in the interior. All windows go up and down. * M&H street strip tires in the rear, 275/60/15s on custom 10" rims. Protrack front runners on 3.5 wide slots. * Rear wheel wells have been pushed out to clear the giant tires and some of outer quarter panel has been trimmed to allow some of the original look. I did not want to tub it. * The body is in good overall condition and has some panels replaced like one rocker and one of the quarter panels. It does however have some body filler in one of the rockers and front of the fenders. The tilt front needs a little more body work to be as good as the rest of the car, but its not to bad. The floors are now all flat steel. * The tilt front is all steel and can be opened using one hand. Has a quick disconnect for the lights and can be removed easily. The hood can also be removed with screws holding it on. * Summit epoxy primer was used for the exterior finish sealing it up. So if someone wants to paint the car it would not be a huge ordeal. The engine was just though and has 54 miles on it. The transmission may have 200 miles or so on it. There is not much on the car that isn't fairly new or hasn't been replaced it the last few years. This car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the action early unless the reserve is met, then it will run to the end. The wet spots under the car in the pictures are from condensation from the exhaust. It was 15 degrees out when I took the pics |

Ford spills SEMA all over its Expeditions
Sat, 01 Nov 2014If you're going to this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas, it's going to be tough to miss the Ford booth, simply for its size. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen customized examples of the 2015 Mustang and a quintet of modded Transits. The latest announced addition is a trio of upgraded 2015 Expeditions showing different takes on the recently refreshed SUV.
Any vehicle tuned by Dub Magazine needs to ride on massive wheels, and the Expedition (pictured above) that it has for SEMA is no exception. The SUV has 26-inch Dropstars wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires, and, making them look even larger, the suspension is also lowered. The rest of the custom has some mild upgrades like mesh grilles in front, tinted windows, an integrated radar detector and new upholstery inside.
Tijn wants to boost the performance of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 for its take on the Expedition. The company claims to add 40 horsepower to bring total output to a claimed 405 by upgrading the engine with a charge cooler from Vortech Engineering, a custom side exhaust and a custom tune. To match the extra grunt, the SUV also gets bigger brakes, an Air Lift suspension and 24-inch, copper-colored wheels with custom fender flares.
Fields 'required' to use private aircraft, could make $5.25M as Ford CEO this year
Thu, 03 Jul 2014Mark Fields' travels on the friendly skies will soon be a relatively personal affair, as the new CEO at Ford will be required to resume air travel via the company's private planes. Fields caught plenty of flak in 2007 for flying on the company's dime to visit his family in Florida. He's since flown commercial.
According to Ford spokesperson Susan Krusel, who spoke to Bloomberg, Fields (pictured above right, with Bill Ford, Jr. at center and Alan Mulally at left) will switch to private travel "for safety and to maximize his availability for company business." In addition to his new travel arrangements, the 53-year-old exec's salary and bonuses have been revealed.
Regulatory filings by Ford revealed that Fields, whose first day in the big chair was July 1, will receive a base salary this year of $1.25 million and he'll be eligible for $3.5 million in bonuses, both of which are lower than Alan Mulally's $2 million salary and $5.88 million in bonuses received last year. That's also lower than General Motors CEO Mary Barra's alleged $1.6-million salary and considerably less than Sergio Marchionne's $3.19-million fixed salary from Fiat. Despite falling short of other CEOs, Fields' new pay still represents a 33-percent increase over his pay as Chief Operating Officer.
Shelby GT500 and Roush Stage 3 go head to head at the drag strip
Wed, 07 Aug 2013The Ford Mustang is a brilliantly affordable source of horsepower, with a base 300-plus-horsepower version available for well under $30,000. Jumping up to about $35,000 will get you a solid 420 horsepower from a high-revving V8, while those with some extra disposable income can get a pair of 600-plus-horsepower monsters. Both the Roush Stage 3 with its Phase 3 package and Ford's factory Shelby GT500 even crest the 650-horsepower mark, with 675 and 662 ponies, respectively.
Naturally, someone needed to find out which of these hi-po Mustangs was the quickest. And while this video is quite obviously a dealership commercial, at least there's some solid drag racing between two of the most powerful performance machines available for under $100,000.
With two NHRA drag racers at the wheel, the Stage 3 and GT500 go head to head for three races. Scroll down below to see the results in the full video.
