Damn these 7.5 Liter BBF's

I've always had a thing for wanting a early to mid 90's f250 or f350 until yesterday. Lucky me got the task at Byers in Dublin to do an engine swap on a 97 F350. I thought it was going to be decently easy until I saw it was a 7.5 Liter 460 Big block. The truck is used for plowing snow so of course every single bolt is rusted from all the salt it's seen. In 2 days, I've got the engine out and just started swapping parts over to the new Jasper Rebuilt 7.5L. It Blows.

 

I never want to touch another Ford truck again.

so pull the head an fix it. its not that hard. Sounds like youve got half the manifold off anyway. :)

 

 

hehe I know that and we are quite capable of doing this- fortunately we do not need the truck on a daily basis (heavy equipment/cattle hauling) and it is WAY too cold to do that outside and the barns aren't warm enough either...
