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...............

Mulally will stay close to Ford after he steps down, plans to advise Fields [w/video]
Fri, 27 Jun 2014Ford CEO Alan Mulally has less than a week left in his role of leading the Blue Oval before he hands off duties to Mark Fields on July 1. It doesn't look like Mulally is going to be shuffling off into his retirement anytime soon, though. The 68-year-old is being rather secretive about his next move, but he tells Bloomberg in a recent interview that he plans to stay close to Ford. Also, if Fields wants to ask for any advice, Mulally is happy to help.
Mulally took over at Ford in 2006 and led the company through a seriously rough patch in the auto industry. According to Bloomberg, he became famous or his Thursday meetings where executives were forced to deal with any problems before they could leave. Since announcing his retirement from Ford in May, Mulally has been insuring a smooth transition of power by traveling the world to all of company's major locations and saying goodbye to employees and dealers.
In terms of the future at Ford, Mulally doesn't predict any big changes in management style because the rest of the executive team is staying in place. He believes that Fields is going to maintain the processes already in place to keep things going. After all, it seems to be working. The company is predicting a return to profitability in Europe next year and is opening 88 new dealers in China. If the business could get its recalls under control, things could get even better.
Ford C-Max spied with fresh updates
Fri, 05 Sep 2014The Ford C-Max hatchback looks to be getting a few cosmetic updates, as evidenced in this latest set of spy photos. Like the smaller Focus, which also received a nip/tuck for the 2015 model year, the C-Max appears to be getting a revised front fascia with slimmer headlamps and a more, shall we say, Aston Martin-like grille. Around back, there looks to be a new bumper with redesigned taillamps, as well.
In other markets, the C-Max people-mover is available with a range of powertrains, but here in the US, it exists either as a traditional gas-electric or plug-in hybrid. The C-Max's fuel economy has been a particular topic of interest lately, with its official fuel economy ratings having been lowered twice since the vehicle's launch. Sales initially suffered a bit following this fiasco, though numbers have since leveled out. It's unclear if Ford is working on any powertrain tweaks for the updated C-Max seen here, however.
Ford has likely spruced up the hatch's interior, as well, though we don't have photos of that at this time. Mum's the word on when we'll see the new C-Max, but our best guess is that it'll arrive sometime in the next year.
Ford recalling nearly 5,700 2014 F-150s for power steering issue
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Ford is recalling 5,675 of its 2014 F-150 pickups over an issue with the electric power steering system. There haven't been any injuries or accidents due to the issue.
Ford spokesman Mike Levine told Autoblog that the "electric power-assisted steering and motor position sensor gear were incorrectly installed by a supplier," leading to the recall.
While the recall is larger on the surface, it's important to note that only 260 trucks have been delivered to customers. The remaining pickups are currently en route to dealers. The affected vehicles were manufactured between May 26 and June 19.
