Watch this new truck move out like a boss!!
"Stock motor and transmission, Whipple (supercharger) 2018 F-150 running 9.99 first pass off the trailer. Second pass it ran a 9.94 making it the first 2018 F-150 in the 9's as well as the first F-150 in the 9's with a stock motor and transmission."
That was a full 1/4 mile run - that truck is moving. Stop the video and read the ET slips at the end: 9.94 seconds at 137 mph. At the 1/8 mile was 6.39 at 111 mph.
pete just changed the oil in his ford fiesta, that makes him a mechanic (so he says) so he knows all about cars/engines/performance. just ask him he'll tell you.

I bought a 40 Ford tudor when I was 12. I have owned hot rod cars or motorcycles all my life. I have a 1800 square foot shop full of cars from the 30's and 40's,including an original 1932 Ford 5 window coupe with an original Dago dropped axle up front that was originally built in the late 40's. I bought it without an engine in it,and it now has a 412 SBC engine that is balanced and bolted together by a NASCAR speed shop (I have a friend that is a mechanic there)that has a fairly hot street cam,350 chevy rods in the 400 block,.060 overbore,Dart 2 heads,10 to 1 Keith Black flattop pistons with gapless rings,roller rockers,Pete Jackson gear drive,and dual AFB's on a 60's Edelbrock intake.
I also have a 33 Plymouth coupe I am working on that is getting a 6 carb DeSoto hemi with a push-button 727,and a 34 Ford pu that is getting a dual quad 312 Ford.
E-Code with dual hump chrome air cleaner? Beautiful!
Yup!The breater is painted red,though. Came like that from the factory. I have seen the chrome ones too,but I think the owners had them chromed.
Even have a pair of the original T-Bird finned aluminum valve covers,too.
Believe it or not,but I found them on a engine in a junkyard,and bought them for 100 bucks or 150 bucks. Can't remember which at this late date. These things are beautiful when polished up.
Got really lucky on the intake and carbs. A email friend I had never met told me he had a friend that had taken a E-Bird intake setup off his 57 T-Bird about 20 years ago and put it under his workbench,and if I was interested he would ask the guy if he still has it and how much he wants for it.
The guy still had it,it had the original oval T-Bird air filter instead of the big oval passenger car filter,both teapot carbs,and the original linkage,and he told me the guy wanted $500 for it plus shipping,and asked me if I wanted it.
I think I may have wet myself a little. I now have it sitting under MY workbench. Yeah,I know. I can buy a new Blue Magic single quad Y-Block intake that will outperform it,but it won't look as cool as the dual-quad E-Bird with the teapot carbs.
BTW,you may not realize it,but you can now buy brand new aluminum heads and blocks for a Y-Block Ford,as well as stroker cranks. No,they aren't cheap,but if you have the bucks and want to screw with people by challenging them to run against your "stock 292 Y-Block",you can have a hell of a lot of fun with them.
I also have a pair of Edsel stamped steel valve covers and a pair stamped "Mercury" that I can put on it to really confuse young people if I want.
Those old Y-Block Fords were a LOT faster than most people think they were. A friend had one in a custom 300 from the factory when I was 14,and there were 6 of us in his car one night when we raced a dual-quad 283 Corvette on a long bridge. We just drove right away from him on top end.
Plus,the old Y-blocks sound pretty nasty with glasspacks,too.
Going to use a 3 speed + OD unit from a early 80's F-150 because it gives me overdrive,and because with the tall original shifter sitting in the middle of the hump,it will look like a 39 Ford trans in the truck. All I have to do is shorten the input shaft maybe 1/8th of an inch and drill two new holes in the top of the stock Y-Block bellhousing,and it will bolt right together. They are not the strongest transmissions in the world,but they are a lot tougher than a 39 Ford trans,and these days are a hell of a lot cheaper,too. I even bought a spare one for 100 bucks when it popped up locally. Don't plan on running the truck hard,but won't say I will never run it,either. Best to have a spare trans just in case.
