1971 Ford F100 2wd Custom on 2040-cars
Medford, Oregon, United States
This is a clean west coast truck that has had everything mechanically gone through. I have driven the truck the last couple of years and it is a very reliable/fast truck that is happy hauling junk to the dump, or out for a Friday night at the drags. The ENG(460) was gone through and upgraded with the following; reground crank, CJ/Truck rods, Probe forged pistons, custom MECH flat tappet cam, Comp Cams EDM lifters, Trend P/Rods, DOVE casting cyl heads that have been professionally ported, 2.19INT vlvs and 1.75 EXH vlvs, Crower vlv springs, Titainium Retainers, Crower locks & lash caps, 3/8" guide plates, & PRW 1.8 roller rockers. The intake is a Ford Racing 'dual plane' Hi-Rise with a 850 Holley that has QFT Billet metering blocks. The Ignition starts with a curved Ford Duraspark dist, MSD coil, & MSD 6AL box. The headers are Hooker Super Comp leading into a 3" exh sysytem with Dynomax muffs. The trans is a C6 with the Ford Motorsport 'wide ratio' gear train, TCI valve body, ACC 10" torque converter, Ford Motorsport 'deep sump' trans pan,& a Hurst Quarter stick shifter. The driveline has been upgraded to a 3.5" custom built peice that uses "1350" style HD Spicer u-joints. The rearend housing is from a Lincoln Contenetial with 31spline axles, Moser "N" case, Motive "full spool",& 4.11 gears. The fuel system was upgraded by adding a 1/2" pick-up line into the tank, Carter Super Pump elec fuel pump, and 1/2" line up to the engine. The radiator is a 'direct fit' alum/plastic version with a Hayden custom mounted fan, and a LONG brand trans cooler. The truck runs cool! The brakes have all been completly gone through (11X3" front 11X3" rear), the steering is tight, the rear shocks are Rancho 9000 series adjustable peices, and the front tires were just recently changed out to Coker 'Pro Trac' competition versions. All in all this truck is a blast to drive and if desired someone could finish it off with a paint job and some minor cosmetic trim peices. The body is decent, some minor dents/dings, but no major damage. Unlike a lot of these trucks I have seen advertised on EBAY, this truck has ran at the dragstrip not just estimates! I have timeslips to back it up. With Nitto DOT tires it has clicked off 13.20's, and with a pair of M/T slicks, 12.70's. These runs were acclomplished in FULL street trim(mufflers, timing, fuel,etc)! I hate to let the truck go, but other projects demand it. Any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for looking...............

Ford Shelby GT350R, GT successor, F-150 Raptor and more rumored for Detroit debut
Mon, Dec 1 2014According to a pair of reports from Hearst's car mags, Car and Driver and Road & Track, Ford has a whole mess of good stuff on deck for the Detroit Auto Show in January. And it all sounds awesome. First, expect to see a hotter version of the Shelby GT350 in Detroit, likely called GT350R. Think of this as the already-hot Shelby with even more track-focused bits baked in – brakes, tires, aero, etc. Everything about the GT350 sounds great, so expect this R variant to be something seriously fierce. As R&T suggests, if the GT350 is the company's new Boss 302, the R is the Laguna Seca. But that's not even close to the biggest news. Road & Track believes a proper Ford GT replacement will debut in Detroit – a road-going version of the Le Mans GTE-class car the Blue Oval is working on for 2016. We've heard about this before, but having the street-legal car debut in Detroit would be absolutely huge news. The performance story continues, though, with R&T suggesting that the next-gen Ford F-150 Raptor will bow in Detroit. Details are scarce about what, exactly, the aluminum-bodied desert stormer will hold, but we expect good things. Finally, Ford's hot hatches might make some news in the Motor City, too. Car and Driver seems to think the all-wheel-drive Focus RS will bow in The D, and that an updated version of the Fiesta ST will also show its face. Road & Track, meanwhile, believes the Focus RS showing will be saved for a European auto show – think Geneva – and our gut feeling is to agree with the R&T theory. All of these rumors point to Ford officially announcing its dedicated performance division – like Mercedes-AMG, BMW M, and so on. We've heard reports of a new, global performance brand from the company already, with the name 999 thrown out as a possibility. In any case, if these rumblings prove to be true, there's going to be a ton to drool over from Ford in January. Stay tuned.
Ford Explorer, Expedition next to go aluminum?
Sun, 13 Apr 2014Ford made some serious waves when it unveiled the latest F-150. Instead of making its bodywork out of steel, like just about every other truck on the market, Ford went with aluminum. And you can bet the F-150 won't be the last Ford model to go with the lightweight alloy construction, either.
Our compatriots at Edmunds report that Dearborn is considering replacing two of its most popular SUVs with aluminum versions. One candidate is the Expedition, which would make sense considering that the current model (like the two preceding generations and the fullsize Bronco before it) is based on the F-150's underpinnings. Another is the Explorer, which was traditionally based on the Ranger pickup but went with a car-like unibody chassis in its current iteration. If the Explorer does go the way of aluminum, don't expect it to be a part of its very next update, which is likely due too soon for such major changes.
It would stand to reason that, if the Expedition were to go aluminum, so would the next-generation Lincoln Navigator. Ditto the MKT together with the Explorer. But those aren't likely to be the only models in contention for aluminum construction. Like any other automaker, Ford is under pressure to steadily reduce its carbon emissions and improve its fuel economy figures, prompting it to look at a whole range of measures - including more efficient engines, lower rolling-resistance tires, active aerodynamics and lightweight construction. Expect aluminum to play a big part in that equation moving forward.
NHTSA opens investigation into Ford Explorer PI brakes
Wed, 27 Aug 2014This year more than most, it's pleasant when we can string together a few days without word of an automaker or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announcing a bunch of new recalls. It's seemingly been a little quiet on this front lately (barring a spider-related Suzuki issue revealed early today), but now we have word of the government safety agency opening a Preliminary Evaluation into the 2013 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor, a probe that could potentially affect an estimated 20,000 vehicles.
The issue being investigated concerns failures of the front brake hose on the vehicle that show "small splits in the hoses near the body side ferrule of the hose assembly," according to the agency, and the issue could result in longer stopping distances. The feds have reports of 13 malfunctions affecting 11 Explorer units. However, it's important to note that all of the incidents come from a single, unnamed metropolitan police fleet that operates 46 of them. According to The Detroit News, the failures generally took place between December and July.
NHTSA is investigating further to find if this is a more widespread issue than just this one fleet. Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker confirmed to us, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the agency's report.
