I'm selling my 1952 Ford F-1 4x4. I bought the truck a year ago and all it was was a painted shell with a 350 that barely ran. Since then I have wired, plumbed, replaced the drivetrain except the engine, and installed the interior. Drivetrain parts: new mad dog 700r4 non electric trans, rebuilt transfer, new driveshaft, new shocks, new brakes, new steering box , new power steering pump, new alternator, new water pump, new flexlite fan with 3 in spacer, new cold air intake, new edelbrock performer intake, rebuilt quadrajet carb , new battery, new electric fuel pump. Interior/exterior parts: All new glass except drivers door cracked, new wing windows and felt, new window cranks, fat cat dynamat, new carpet, new cd player amp and speakers, new vintage air heater/defroster, new wiper motor , arms and blades, new steering wheel. The entire cab was dynamatted before any interior was installed. It also comes with 5 brand new falken tires and rims, custom spare tire holder and a metal storage box in the bed.There are a couple of bad things. The bed has dings in the floor from being used and the front clip was made into a one piece tilt by the previous owner and when they did the body work it wasn't to good so you can see where there are a couple of lines in the front fenders, also the door poppers need adjusted. I'M sure I forgot something just email me and I will answer as soon as I can. Due to the fact that the winning bidder was a turd, I am having to relist. There is over 4000 dollars worth of brand new parts in the truck not counting the vehicles worth alone. This time I AM GOING NO RESERVE to show I am a serious seller. The only reason that I am selling this truck is I need a bigger cab for the family. IF I could I would keep it this has always been my dream truck. So for sure my loss is someone's gain good luck. If you don't have money please don't waste each other's time.

I wanted to help clear the condition of the truck. Overall it is in good condition. No known or seen rust there are spots through out that rocks and what not have hit the truck. I did not do the body work or paint I bought from a guy who had just got it done. At least thats what I was told. I can say that when the guy made the one piece front clip the is wear on the body where the hood rests and the is a couple of lines in the front fenders where the weight of the steel pieces have caused the lines in the paint. Thats why I am not expecting crazy money this is not a show truck. But a good ole set of wheel you can jump in to get the job done. But on the othet hand I dont want to giveit away. I figure the money it would cost in body work is all you need to spend since mechanically the truck is brand new minus the bottom end of the engine. The truck runs and drives, I use it to go all over town. The four wheel drive even works. If you buy this truck it is a get in and drive the only work needed is to adjust the automatic door poppers that I installed, other than that enjoy the ride

Ford confirms 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine for 2014 Fusion

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

Earlier this week, reports were swirling 'round the internet about the 2014 Ford Fusion getting a new 1.5-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. That was... half correct. Ford today confirmed that the 2014 Fusion is, in fact, getting a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost mill, but it has four cylinders, not three.
The new 1.5-liter engine will be the fifth EcoBoost powerplant from Ford Motor Company. Initially to be built at the automaker's Craiova, Romania plant, it will also be offered in the Fusion's twin, the Mondeo, in other markets. This engine will debut at the Shanghai Motor Show next month, and the 1.5-liter is of particular importance in the Chinese market - there is significant tax relief in the People's Republic for vehicles powered by engines with a capacity of 1.5 liters or less.
At a media briefing Thursday, Ford declined to divulge exact power or fuel economy numbers, though Joe Bakaj, vice president of powertrain engineering, told Autoblog that power output should be similar to that of the current 1.6-liter inline-four, and that overall efficiency will be "better than the 1.6." Our earlier report stated that the 1.5-liter four will produce 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque - losses of 1 hp and 7 lb-ft versus the 1.6-liter engine. Ford states that the 1.5-liter four will feature many of the same technologies used on the company's 1.0-liter EcoBoost inline-three, including an integrated exhaust manifold that recaptures much of the engine's heat.

Project Ugly Horse: Part V

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The Slippery Slope
I've had a healthy appreciation for cars that stop since one truly unfortunate incident with a runaway 1971 Lincoln Continental.
It's funny how quickly a party can turn from, "We're all having blast" to "What happened to the front of the house, and how many stitches do you think this is going to take?" Standing in a Mustang salvage shop in Kodak, Tennessee, I couldn't help but feel I had strayed into the latter territory with Ugly Horse. There was a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 plucked from a rear-ended Cobra sitting off to my left. The shelves were lined with second-hand Roush and SVT components galore, but I couldn't stop staring at a set of rotors with the approximate diameter of my chest.

Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.
