My 86 street truck

[Chic N Stew]

This is what i got so far, its got a 2.9ltr with over 300,000 miles on it and still runs like a charm, but i got a 351w at home waiting to go in, just need a few ignition parts and then she's in.

Here's my car domain as well

I thought that truck had a 350 SBC???? I remember it from the old site. Just wondering if you pulled it out or what.

[Chic N Stew]

ya, i pulled it and put the 2.9 back in until i got the 351, i wanted it to be a genuine ford truck with all ford parts, sold the 350 to a friend for 3 grand

You went from a 350 to a 2.9l? Now that's what I call an upgrade!

i wanted it to be a genuine ford truck with all ford parts

I like the way you think, that's how I feel too.

Don't level it, leave it with a bit of rake to it. Like the Cragars. Street stance frome 1980. Cool. Badass.

Ok, thats what i thought, lol. Glad to see its going back to being all Ford. I love the look of that truck.

I know I asked this on the old forum, but what size tires/wheels are you running on that thing. Love the stance, it's almost the same as mine currently sits (except you got a motor, where as mine's about to loose it). It's till looking sharp, and glad to see you came to your senses on the motor.

tires are p235/50sr15, wheels are cragar s/s 08/61 series

wow... u was able to sell a sbc for that much? what all was done to it? and i say level it because y do u want all the weight on ur front tires? the truck doesnt weigh anything in the rear... but hey i suppose if ya like big long burnouts it will be cool

The weight is practically the same axle to axle compared to being leveled for no higher than the rear is. I like the raked look, it doesn't make the truck look like it is loaded down with stuff. Not to mention the truck looks alot better when it is loaded down, it doesn't look overloaded.
