Oh Brother that is nice wholly cow he is built to the Max..i have a 87 E-350 camper with a 460 in it and its my pride and joy to baby that motor trans and exhaust (flowmonster muffler 3 inch pipe)...and its got a nice paint job on it .....but my point is its Dudes like you who inspire my work on my 460...keep up the good work..,.love the way that big boy sounds wow.
That truck sounds amazing… my dad had a 2 time green f100 ranger with the 390 big block and that thing was probably 5 miles per gallon maybe 10 on a good day……. I dunno I miss that old truck
I have 10.3-1 compression on a built 390ci that I put the Block-hugger Sanderson headers on with the 16 bolt Cobra Jet bolt pattern to match the Edelbrock Heads. Those headers are the best made ones that I have ever seen. I love them.
cool truck...I hope those headers arent 3in pipe or you might lose a little power, With that type of compression a smaller size pipe is completely necessary. Also, i hope you get some time for bushings and a few other things i know your aware of. I got to much into mine and it all came on too fast those little details....if you dont like the reaction with those trak bars, they look nice and all but an anti sway works just as well, even up front just make ya some extensions ... i know you know to limit rev till cam is broke in....i didnt do that either and the spanking hurt
I have a 1975 Highboy with the 390. It currently has the stock exhaust manifolds. I want to switch to the Hedman headers or a custom set. How was the install on Hedman headers? What size exhaust are you running? I currently have glass packs with what looks like 2" to 2 1/2" exhaust.
I've got a question on the frame since it's a highboy they have the 34 inch narrow frame and not the 37 inch standard frame of the time right and if so how was the install of those headers because I just pick up a 1793 f350 dually cab&chassis with the narrow 34 frame and looking to do headers also
You're right, our frames are 34" and it makes getting these headers installed a major pain. You will have to lift the motor a few inches out of the motor mounts to get the headers past the frame on installation. I installed mine before dropping the new motor in. You could try a set of shorty headers if you want to avoid the hassle. Congrats on the new truck!
thank you for the congrats and the info im going to be working on it very soon once i can get my garage cleared out from putting stuff in it for the winter, also you truck sounded good.
Another option is this: I bought ceramic-coated Sanderson '427 shorty' headers for my '69 highboy (video slideshow here on RUclips). Pretty easy install. They hug the block, so frame clearance is very good, but I needed a 'mini starter' to make it all work.
I had the rear drive shaft disconnected in the video so the output shaft on the transfer case was spinning. The speedometer doesn't bounce like that now that everything is hooked up.
The speedometer wants to be a tachometer when it grows up.
I could listen to that idle all day.
I have a '72 highboy with a '75 390 and I want it to look like this someday. Beautiful restoration! Thanks for the video

I think you did a great job everything looks well done and clean. I personally love how you terminated it. Great job!
Sounds amazing

Beautiful’ I’m thinkin about goin with Sanderson shortys but still thinkin about the headmans…
I just installed some sanderson headers on mine, fit very good, passenger side is kind of a pain to instal with factory sized starter but do able

Get those damn wheels off that truck asap.
Love it
Mad dog headers makes 390 fenderwell headers for a highboy. Think You need a body lift for them though
Mad Dog site says 3"body lift is required..
Looks good

Are you one of the old boomer morons that think you need "backpressure" ?
Beautiful truck. Is the axle out of the 89 f350? Do you have the dimensions for the front leaf spring hanger bracket ?
I have a new 390 and want to cam it. What would recommend? Your truck sounds awesome.
Them things will drive you crazy with no tailpipe
Nice👍👍👍✌🏽
Wow!!

Nice, do you remember the part number for the headers?
On your 390 did you use stock rocker arm setup?
Can you do an update video

@@justinsexton1205 I just got a 1975 f250 4x4 and picked up a set of headers, looks like I'll be lifting the motor to get them in! Thx for the advice

I haven’t paid attention to the one I have when I have start is the speedometer suppose to do that
If it is in gear, yes

Not sure y the spedo was trying to copy the tach. Cool truck tho
What mufflers?
