- Check out this unusual match up featuring a low budget '79 Ford F250 4X4 against a high budget '17 ZL1 Camaro! According to Alex the truck actually belongs to his best friend and was originally built by the two of them five or six years ago for sled pulling. In August about three weeks before the One Guys Garage 2020 event, the two best friends decided to go although the truck didn't have an engine at the time. Alex had most of the parts laying around his garage to build an engine from scratch so that's what they did. The engine is a 0.030 over 460 big block with forged pistons, stock rods, 11 to 1 compression, stock valves with some port work Alex performed, solid roller camshaft, Victor intake, full length in chassis headers, stock locked out distributor with a MSD ignition box and 4500 rpm stall torque converter. All the power is handled through a C6 automatic trans, 205 transfer case 4x4, dana 44 front axle, dana 70 rear axle, 4.56 gears, and a limited slip front diff. with a welded posi rear. The truck fared well running in the 13's and completing the 3 day event. This year for the '21 event the guys decided to take the bed off and replace it with a flat bed saving over 400lbs from the previous 5000lb weight of the truck last year. Another change was swapping out the 950 double pumper carb with a 1050 dominator carb and adding nitrous. If your wondering about the choice of the Hoosier Sprint Car dirt track tires it's because that's what they had laying around. They use them for for sled pulling when they pull on blacktop mainly because of their extremely soft compound so why not use them on the dragstrip.
The first solo pass the truck bogged off the line and the guys went back and made some carb adjustments and and on the next pass clicked off a respectable 12.21 against the 2.9 Whipple supercharged '17 ZL1 Camaro of Aladdin Garris who went on to win first place in the factory street class. All in all a very successful showing and it leaves you wondering what will they come up with at this year's event!

Love '79 Ford trucks. Love 460's.
Man that old Ford can move.
@@Im.to.tired.stfu I take care of mine
Reminds me of back when I was a young kid we had a 67 Ford station wagon with a 390 in it and dad was racing a Corvette on the highway as we were rolling down the road and it was obvious we beat the Corvette
Carburetors naturally aspirated got to love it
I was hoping the truck would win.
Damn that things a runner.
Badass Ford 👍
That's still good. Very good for a truck.
Damn I love my Fords
Poor man's all wheel drive !
God made American made 🤫
Change the gears , back to 411 would help at the top end
This truck needs the box for traction aid.
Bv
lets haul some hay!!!yeehaw!!!!
I dig it. 👍🏻
Absolutely Feckin Awesome! Just us the nitrous next time
Is it just me or is there no nitrous setup in the beginning of the video when you're filming them set the timing? I don't see a plate or fogger setup on it there
Good eye, the start up was actually from the year before and the carb is actually different than the current one.
@@RACEYOURRIDE thats what I figured, badass truck for sure. I love seeing shit built out of spare parts getting raced
Esto era Ford de la buena
Is he racing in4wd? I've seen deisels do it and I'm interested in trying it
I dont believe so.
Love it.
Chevy don’t sound near as good as that ol Ford! 😂
For such a bad *ss camaro, it sure sounds a cheap ol rice burner. Love this truck
The car sounds sweet, but the big block with open headers drowns it out
About to 460 swap my 78 f150. Np435 though. Hopefully I can keep it together through winter. 😂
Might want to be careful I know a guy that did that and twisted his frame like a burrito the same day make sure you box the motor and add strength to the beams
@@Onewingedangle42 REALLY? My '77 Ford F150 has had a built '70 460 (515 HP) in it since '86. Never one problem.
@@sergeantmasson3669 well it depends on what year but yeah even with what you have going on I’m surprised you have never had any issues but I even had a 460 in my 91 f250 and had to replace the front axle after I upgraded my motor because the Dana 50 that comes stock is two separate pieces
@@sergeantmasson3669 you are better off with the 77 f150 because at least you have solid straight axle however good for you for not having issues with your setup
@@Onewingedangle42 1977 F150 has a much stronger frame than '80 and newer. BTW, my '77 F150 is a short box 2wd. My '78 F350 4x4 has a Dana 60 front axle.
Git sum
Well... That was an odd match up
How bout it!
@@RACEYOURRIDE awesome truck.
I had a mint condition 74 f350 super camper special with a 390 many years ago, it was a monster!
Cool, but I thought it was gonna beat the Camaro. Nope-nope. It didn't.
No weight on the back hardly.
Low 12s whf !! Lacrosse here !! I'm sure it's faster now ..
