This is a clean west coast truck that has had everything mechanically gone through. I have driven the truck the last couple of years and it is a very reliable/fast truck that is happy hauling junk to the dump, or out for a Friday night at the drags. The ENG(460) was gone through and upgraded with the following; reground crank, CJ/Truck rods, Probe forged pistons, custom MECH flat tappet cam, Comp Cams EDM lifters, Trend P/Rods, DOVE casting cyl heads that have been professionally ported, 2.19INT vlvs and 1.75 EXH vlvs, Crower vlv springs, Titainium Retainers, Crower locks & lash caps, 3/8" guide plates, & PRW 1.8 roller rockers. The intake is a Ford Racing 'dual plane' Hi-Rise with a 850 Holley that has QFT Billet metering blocks. The Ignition starts with a curved Ford Duraspark dist, MSD coil, & MSD 6AL box. The headers are Hooker Super Comp leading into a 3" exh sysytem with Dynomax muffs. The trans is a C6 with the Ford Motorsport 'wide ratio' gear train, TCI valve body, ACC 10" torque converter, Ford Motorsport 'deep sump' trans pan,& a Hurst Quarter stick shifter. The driveline has been upgraded to a 3.5" custom built peice that uses "1350" style HD Spicer u-joints. The rearend housing is from a Lincoln Contenetial with 31spline axles, Moser "N" case, Motive "full spool",& 4.11 gears. The fuel system was upgraded by adding a 1/2" pick-up line into the tank, Carter Super Pump elec fuel pump, and 1/2" line up to the engine. The radiator is a 'direct fit' alum/plastic version with a Hayden custom mounted fan, and a LONG brand trans cooler. The truck runs cool! The brakes have all been completly gone through (11X3" front 11X3" rear), the steering is tight, the rear shocks are Rancho 9000 series adjustable peices, and the front tires were just recently changed out to Coker 'Pro Trac' competition versions. All in all this truck is a blast to drive and if desired someone could finish it off with a paint job and some minor cosmetic trim peices. The body is decent, some minor dents/dings, but no major damage. Unlike a lot of these trucks I have seen advertised on EBAY, this truck has ran at the dragstrip not just estimates! I have timeslips to back it up. With Nitto DOT tires it has clicked off 13.20's, and with a pair of M/T slicks, 12.70's. These runs were acclomplished in FULL street trim(mufflers, timing, fuel,etc)! I hate to let the truck go, but other projects demand it. Any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for looking...............

How Ford's light lab keeps the sun shining on the new Mustang just right [w/video]

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Anyone who's bought one of those old school metal shift knobs knows they're really cool until they sit in a parking lot in the sun for a few hours. Then they're not cool at all. Likewise, features such as the aluminum dash on the 2015 Ford Mustang can be all kinds of neat right up until the sun hits it just the right way and sends shards of blinding light through the cabin. The Ford Visual Performance and Evaluation Lab is where engineers figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen.
Cars like said Mustang are parked inside the 30-foot reflecting dome under 6,000 watts of lights that can mimic the sun at any time of day and in any weather condition. Engineers can then spend cold, overcast days inside, testing for interior legibility, glare and reflections on every interior and exterior surface as if it were bright and sunny. They can also learn how a car's sheetmetal and colors will look out of doors, all year round.
Ford showed off the lighting lab without the music and interviews three years ago when the Explorer was being prepared. You can watch it at work again in the video below, and read about it in the press release below that.

Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles

Thu, Nov 27 2014

US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.
