Why did you have to use something that beeps when you hit the solenoid? By the way, there's a trick to getting the timing set close enough to fire. Just set the engine to your desired point of ignition, pop the distributor cap and rotate the distributor until it's close to where number 1 should fire. Then you put the cap back on, how up power to the distributor and rotate it until the number one spark plug fires.

I made it 1:25 into the video and was already disappointed because you put an HEI distributor in there. Blasphemous

0 seconds ago I've really enjoyed all these videos, I like your taste on doing things, your desire to do things as well as you can do them... most of the time.. You hurt my feelings when you didn't use a 3/4" 36 spline to 3/4" DD u-joint even though you were still starting from scratch, my automotive OCD would forever haunt me for cobbling together something as visible as a steering shaft. Luckily, it's your truck and & if it doesn't bother you, everything is lovely!lol I am really just giving you a hard time, I couldn't be any more sincere when I say,, "hats off". You've done a killer job on the work you've done to this truck!

A 351C 2V be a great build in an F-100.

Good meat & potatoes vid, keep 'em coming.

Could you use the whole frame of the Crown Vic that way you would have 4 disc brakes plus positive original rear end.

I swapped an LS/LM7 into my 85 cutlass, it was a process and not really cheap but it ran and drove for 3 summers till i sold it. BUT what happened to the REBUILT 390? did it blow up or just wanted double the Hp of the 390?

what were the power adders you added? just headers, 4 BBL and intake? OR did you up the compresion somehow?

hey dude, i just bought a pretty sweet 390 powered 1976 truck similar to yours. so what were the power adders you added? just headers, 4 BBL and intake? OR did you up the compresion somehow?

those LED headlights were AWESOME BUT how much better can we make a sealed beam halogen if we relay some double sized wire right to the headlights and use factory wires just to light the relay. a smartass at work said it was awesome back before LED headlights were invented SO maybe LED is better now but one raly and 10 ft of wire probly cosat 1/10 these LED headlights and if i know quality these days will last TEN TIMES longer

i thought pretty much all engine builders/rebuilders throw out the china walls and just use RTV, letting it tack up for 5-10 mintes b4 installing manifold? oh well maybe he will get an aluminum intake soon and save about 50 lbs on front end anyways

Is this even correct? I thought the screw adjusted the amount of vacuum needed to pull the advance not how far it pulls it. Like if you have big cam that makes less than stock vacuum you loosen the advance screw so it takes less vacuum to achieve full advance?

This just helped me get my '66 mustang running again. Thank you for making this!

Doubling the power is damn good! SO whats the total cost to rebuild this engine?

Haynow! What a find. The same carb. & same rebuild kit that I have. You took me threw it. 55 years old and it's my first carb. rebuild. The first job on my restoration of my 1968 Ford F-100 4x4 390. Thanks for the help.

Awesome! Not many people on KZfaq have done or shown how to diy crown Vic coilovers. I’m thinking about doing what you do and was interested in knowing what coilovers you used. Btw what spring rate did you use?

Always enjoyed your content...ever considering a comeback?

GREAT VIDEOS I LIVE IN DALLAS AREA. I HAVE A 1961 F100, WOULD YOU DO THE CROWN VIC FRON END SWAP FOR ME? I DON'T MIND PAYING.

Very good video on vacum cannister adjustments and timming sequence.will use this today!

How’s the tmi seat holding up 4 years later?

Wondering how that comp cam has held up over the years; I've heard bad things about those.

Excellent video!

An after thought. Does that cam have advance built in? Some do.

Should have advanced it 4 degrees. You would have been glad you did. More low end torque and as the timing chain wears the timing will retard. Also better vacuum. If your looking for high rpm hp go straight up or retarded.

Thanks for the great video! I attempted to rebuild the carb on my 65 ford 3/4....now I can re-do it correctly!! thanks again for your kind assistance and expert knowledge to help this poor fiddle player out!

Lost me at LS (junk) 🤮 🤮

Fantastic informative video

We do this relieving in our shop, but not a lot of the crown Vic swaps. This has been one of the best videos I have found on the Internet for a little bit of instruction. Good job man.

Well done young man 👍 🔥 Great video 👍 Learned from it 👍👍

Nice truck. 390 sounds really good.

Awesome build, those u bolts for the bed… I can’t stand them, after a couple years they don’t wanna come off, the nut breaks free from the clip and just spins, anti seize the bolts and nuts. I live in Michigan as a collision tech, I’ve seen brand new trucks have issues trying to remove the bed.

🏁

What years of crown vic front crossmembers fit?

check the old one

What year crown Vic front end?

Sure seems like that it’d be a lot easier to do a total frame swap between the F150 & Crown Vic. Just saying.

It sounds incredible

Very nice welds by the way

Those hole on the bottom aren't the center of the front axle . The ob-long hole above them is center of the axle

Man... Haven't seen 3 in the tree in a Long Long Time. Done my heart good! Had a 73 F100;4x4 390 w/Granny 4speed

And why the same CV differential was not used?

What did you think of the 250lb spring in the rear or did you go with a different rate ?

I couldn't get mine out like this. I had to take the front clip off in my video. My engine is a 429 big block and wouldn't get over the front with my engine hoist.

Good job, no fear!

Any chance you are close to Medina OH? I saw the (330)

Nice setup.. I’m just started taking apart my 390 thinking about doing something Similar to yours mabe same cam setup..just wondering how did that build hold up..any tips or pointers would really help thanks

watching this 4 years later seeing those "5 dollar pinion shims" be 30 bucks now lmao

You mentioned the ride height was fully loaded…yet the bed was not on. Did I miss that part? Or do you consider the bed to have no significant weight?

Thank you sir🤟 super helpful. Put the video on and followed along and now my 66 camper special is ready to go. Great video🤙

Do the rods assembly lock to cap or opposite?
