I love to hear a hopped up motor start like that. But, the Ford sixes seem to do that when tuned properly. Great build, great vlog and thanks for posting and sharing.
Your truck project is surprising as it is cool. I say this because I wasn't expecting to discover all the interesting bits that make up your project. The PCM fan deal and the interesting position of your turbo immediately come to mind. I'm looking forward to building an I6 this year. Seeing all the great projects like yours is a real inspiration. Thanks for sharing!
Nice work. Down in Australia, our USA based Falcon/Mustang/Granada in line sixes 250/ 4.1 liters got.149 to 162 hp engines with Port EFi 4 years earlier than the 300/ 4.9 liter. It got an after market T03 60 Garret turbo by Advanced Induction Technology using the Reeves Callaway and Ken Duttweiler GNX style Auxiliary Ford CFi 5.0 HO Blue Injectors. The same issue was noted with a " second idle " as fuel supply was 6 injectors at the port, but with 180 hp of upstream injectors at just before the turbo. Essentially a blow through with draw through augmentation. On and off throttle had the same feel as you described. Love your work man.
Dude that is awesome, your truck kicks ass. What's cool is you kept the 300 most people would yank it out and drop a coyote crate or a ls3. But your truck is very unique congratulations
you have done everything right, and its beautiful. nicely done. everything works nicely together and the result must be a kick in the britches to drive
You'd see improvements throughout the RPM range with a 600 holley carb. It also sounds like it needs slightly more accelerator pump when you stab the throttle. Really nice project, I love it.
Love the old 300 sixes had one in an old econoline F-250 cargo van way back when. That engine would not die even after it went swimming after brake failure on a boat launching ramp..lol memorys
Did you ever get the EFI system going on it? Would love to see another video with that running and driving. I had a late-80's F150 with the factory 4.9L (300) EFI and I loved that truck. I swapped in the ZF 5-speed when my Mazda transmission started the death rattle and I switched to road gears for mpg (3.08's). It would still pull anything I ever put behind it with all that off-idle torque, no protesting, no overheating, up steep grades, no problem. Going was easy, stopping was always the issue! That's actually why I got rid of it, life changes dictated that I needed a 3/4 ton so I just started over. I've had dreams of building a turbo version ever since I got it. Maybe someday I'll pick up another one.
SO MANY QUESTIONS; 1. Didnt you straightpipe your exhaust or even a loud muffler cuz it sounds quiet like a gramma car? 2. is that a dual plane or C-series intake? why did you choose that version? 3. how the hell does a turbo work if its not pushing the air thru the carb? 4. why was the vw suction fans needed? cuz blowwby would deposit oil on the turbo or something?
After all the time and money you have put into it why starve the motor with that little bitty air filter? It’s about got to be almost like the choke is on I love what you have done here and I’d really love to see a video of it running especially with a five speed
Cool video! Whole lot of fun going on. More than I would want to do but awesome. I like what you did with the ignition system. What’s involved in going to a programmable coil pack? Not having to mess with a distributor would be great. My 2.5 Ranger has a coil pack like that and I’ve never had a single issue with with it. I’ve got access to a running 4.0 OHV 1997 Explorer for parts. Another good reason to go with the Crown Vic suspension is the the hassle of the twin I beam’s alignment.
RockYouVideos Doing a waste spark ignition as its called is pretty easy. Look up mega jolt Jr from auto sport labs they have a really good tutorial on how to with pictures. Basically if it's an even fire engine which is 99% of the car engines you can do a waste spark ignition.
Aaron Cool. Thanks for the info. I found your video because I just got a 95 F150 with a 300 and wanted you to see what people were doing to them. I’m more about reliability and dependability but any reasonably straightforward performance gains are nice too.
Thats a badass truck, you can teach me a thing or too. Your setup is a lot cleaner than mine, i have no idea what i'm doing but i've learned a lot from this build
6cylindernation Thank you. I think your on the right track going with fuel injection I have had to spend a lot of time modifying that edelbrock to run correctly and at ten pounds I have hit the wall I either need a bigger carb or fuel injection
DEEREJOHN114 Thanks the T5 is holding up great I just put the fi tech efi on there so I am back to tuning again when I get a chance I will post a video driving
Joseph Lanoue Turbo that thing these motors are strong the only weak point is the pistons. There is not a lot of aftermarket stuff for the 300 and what is out there will give you a few HP here and there with great cost. Turbo is best option for the money the only thing I would do other than turbo is forged pistons otherwise stock everything else.
What car does the 300 come in, I'm from Australia and never heard of the 300, you should check out the Aussie 250 barra engine, they come out in the Aussie falcon and make bulk grunt with a turbo,
I don't believe ford North America ever but the 300 in a car it was mainly a truck engine/tractor engine they did put a 240 in cars which is a 300 destroked. I am jealous of the ford sixes that are in Australia you guys have cross flow heads over head cam all the good modern engineering that allows for serious power production
Try researching Ford 4.9L inline 6.... or straight 6.... See if you can find the engine's model history. Ford has been putting them into cars and trucks since the late 50's up until it was last used in the 1996 F150. I found a list once upon a time. Good luck 👍
If I had to guess probably 220-230 HP and around 300 ft lbs of torque it's a real torque monster but runs out of steam really quick much past 4000rpm. I might have 2000 into motor the turbo the ignition
Hey how do like the draw threw setup?? I'm getting ready to do it myself, does your turbo have carbon seals in it? Hope you respond back been wanting to talk to someone at this setup
Joe Joe Hi Joe the draw set up works OK but it has many limitations. First turbos are meant to pump air not fuel so your limited on how much HP your going to make. Second idling after a good spool is tricky because the compressor is winding down and pulling all the fuel out of the idle circuits so the motor will surge for a minute until the compressor slows down. The only real pro to doing a draw through set up is it's easy grab a turbo that has 360 degree carbon ceramic seals bolt it to your intake throw a carb on top watch your Afr and go have some fun.
Joe Joe Hi, as the owner said there’s a lot of limitations with draw threw turbo setups, it looks like he used a trans-am 4.9L V8 turbo set up from the early 80’s. I got ahold of a couple and was going to do the same set up on my 300 back when I was in high school like almost 20 years ago (lol I feel old🤣), but didn’t after I did research on it I found problems with the set up, like fires, fuel igniting in the hot hot turbo and all that fun stuff... So do your research and figure out how much power you want to make etc!! Ultimately aftermarket EFI standalone system with blow threw would be awesome, but a carb setup for blow threw will work great as well. So decide for yourself and your preference, it’s your vehicle do what you like and want!
@@Thecowboy69997 Funny you should ask because I have switched to a Fitech and a few of the problems have gone away but it has created other issues I think ultimately I am going to blow through the Fitech instead of draw through. The only reason I started with a draw through is I had the parts and it was easy because I didn't have to spend much money
@@Thecowboy69997 I Guess what I trying to say is if you have the stuff laying around and you want to have some fun for cheap go for it. If your planning a build that your spending money on go efi or blow through throttle body it's a better set up
Hey Rusty Red you need a Predator carb they are set to run at 13 to 1 mix give them a look. Nice job you guys inspire me, take a look at my dj5 mail jeep 2#
Kathy Haga I went with fi tech fuel injection just recently here it's a sweet unit I just need to spend some time tuning when the weather gets a little nicer
I'm gonna find me a wrecked EcoBoost truck and use as much of the system as I can to build a 71 f100. I love what you've done with the 300. What kinda power u putting down?
Need to see it going down the road sideways spinning the tires. Good job Ford should've made a modular inline 6 balanced with twin cam. This is what makes America great have something you want to do build it . Don't let Democrats take away that freedom.
Awsome truck bro! I noticed youre "volkswagen two speed scavenger pump". i have not seen this method yet, but the idea is awsome. I gapped my stainless top ring to .026 and bottom at .028 i am getting the blowby. I know about the caddy pumps and of course the moroso. But how well does it work, is there a pn#, or what model year wv could i find this on. I know the caddy pump draws at about a (10) my stock 99 camaro electronic exhaust pump reversed wired only draws about (3) so i am open to ideas. Maybe i could use both and have a 3 speed? Thankyou youre knoledge and advice is gold!!!
Real Nice, Wow, talk about Torque Monster, so tell me, i have a 95 Model f150 with an EFI 300, all stock and in really good shape, though i want more out of it since the Computer is basically shot, i have repaired it several times and still won't pass Emissions, it will but i have to play with the timing. Anyway, if you or any one else has some suggestions that isn't going to cost a Butt Load of money, i am open!!!
Why people hold the phone vertically instead of horizontal, for best coverage, eludes me. I wonder how the valve stem tip geometry changes with a higher lift cam. With a stock cam, the tip scrub area is sufficient. Pedestal rockers can slide fore and aft to adjust, but studs require precise valve tip angle for optimum rocker geometry. Only the shim/bucket arrangement offers a precise downward valve motion. Too bad Ford didn't use shim/bucket setup for their valve actuation. This deletion spoils any motor, even with OHC's.
All that time and money and amazing custom work and you put a fram filter on ittttt
I think he put a lot of wrong parts on it.
Gotta go with Motorcraft!

Very nice, wish I had the knowledge to do it.
I know its 2 year old video but do you still got the truck . Love to see more on it

That thing is awesome! I'm very slowly working on mine heading in the same direction your's is currently at
Damn bro. This is sick.
Nice, very nice
That set up is sweet nice video to.
Does the distributor drive the oil pump on this motor? And if so, did you just leave it there when converting to the explorer coil?
Yes I cut the top off the distributor and made a plate to hold the coil so the only thing the distributor does now is drive the oil pump.
Nice old Ford, good job. Should run pretty good.
Nice truck excellent work. Would love to see a video of it driving. How's that t5 holding up? I've broken a few in my fox body
