Big Block Ranchero UPGRADED But Will It PERFORM?

We take the forgotten factory 429 1973 Ranchero and add some tasty upgrades, including a Quick Performance gear set for the 9" Ford rear end, a new fuel tank, a high-volume fuel pump, a hood scoop, vintage Keystone mags, and a carburetor. Then it's time to see if we can do BIGGER burnouts!

Every old Ford I've dealt with has claimed it were overheating. They just do that. They're not actually overheating, they just say they are. A factory gauge will peg hot as low as 170, and I've seen hot lights come on at about the same. The senders/switches age and don't work properly. I've also seen the cluster voltage regulator get stuck closed and make the gauge read high as well. But if that's the case, the fuel gauge will also read double.

I'm concerned that when the previous owner fitted the cam he did the right thing and completely ignored upgrading the valvesprings to suit. It's a common issue with Cleveland V8s here in Aus and if you feel motivated could be an interesting video for the channel.
