    Had a 351 Windsor in my 56 Ford f-100 back in the day. That is one sweet beauty I wish I had! Thanks for taking the time to produce this well done video! From a Vietnam Era Marine Corps veteran.

      As Jacob said, thank you. And thank you for watching. We both had a great time building this truck, and I am overwhelmed by all the kind comments we have been getting here and hearing everyone's old truck stories.

    I have fond memories of riding in my grandfather's F1 engine similar to your s removed. It wasn't very fast , he did lots of work on fa with that old truck

    • @leehopkinsenterprises
      @leehopkinsenterprises  2 года назад

      this old truck did some work too. the last the old 6 cyl engine ran it was so tired it had to be backed up steep hills in reverse gear because it was lower than first gear.

    Very nice post . I am getting set up to put a Windsor in a 52 M3 . Looks like I can use the stock steering ? Looks like you got the engine crossmember from Early Ford . . What headers finally fit ? Thank You

    • @leehopkinsenterprises
      @leehopkinsenterprises  3 года назад +1

      You can and I personally think its cooler that way . I got patriot block hugger headers from summit racing and the crossmember is from CCP classic profomance products.

    Nice job! Thanks for not putting a chebby engine in. You may consider a Ford 9" rear axle some day.

    • @leehopkinsenterprises
      @leehopkinsenterprises  Год назад

      Thanks for watching! 9Inch would be a good improvement, but after looking over the original one in the truck, it was fairly heavy built and had the gears ratio we wanted and gears looked great. So we left it in.

      Good choice. I believe they were patriot block hugers from summit racing. I had a dozen different headers on it before I found those biggest problem was getting around the factory steering box
