Ford F-250 F250 on 2040-cars
Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
We purchased this truck from an estate with a couple of other vehicles, it came to us with the engine removed and in a crate in the bed. The engine appears to have been professionally rebuilt, it was tagged primed/break in oil . ARP stainless fasteners were used to put everything back together, the balance of the bolts for the alternator and other accessories were in the ARP box in the crate with the engine, Looking through the penetration in the timing cover one could see what appeared to be a double roller timing chain covered in white assembly lube. Upon further inspection of the engine and deciding that it was worth installing we removed the transmission and had it rebuilt, The transmission rebuild included a heavy duty clutch pack, torque convertor, valve body, and a shift kit - the transmission is suitable for heavy towing or a heavy foot! To compliment the newly installed pair the following parts were installed new as well; Super Cooler Radiator, upper and lower radiator hoses, heater hoses, alt ps and ac belts, a/c belt idler bearing and tensioner bearing, mechanical fuel pump, Motorcraft/Holley carburetor, fuel lines, alternator, distributor, cap, rotor, spark plug wires, 195 degree thermostat, oil and water temp sending units, PCV valve, starter, flexplate, vacuum lines, three universal joints and carrier bearing along with balancing the driveline, new dual exhaust from the manifolds to the chrome tips with a crossover tube - nice sounding low rumble, not obnoxious. It appears that the previous owner spent quite a bit of time cleaning and detailing the engine compartment, when we reinstalled the engine all of the brackets were media blasted and painted to match the rest of the meticulous work that had been completed under the hood and to the frame in the engine compartment area. I think that we finished it the way it was intended to be. The air conditioner works great, blows very cold. This truck runs out very well, the engine is smooth, quiet, and very powerful.

Last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible nets $500k for charity at Barrett-Jackson [w/video]
Tue, 13 Aug 2013The last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible was sold on Saturday at a Barrett-Jackson auction in Reno, Nevada, for $500,000. Ford donated the Mustang to be auctioned for charity, and all of the money is going to the Brain Injury Association of America.
Parnelli Jones, winner of the 1963 Indianapolis 500, was there on behalf of the BIAA with his son Page, who suffered a brain injury in a sprint car crash in 1994. The bidding increased quickly, reaching $500k in no time, spreading a bit more hope to people who live with brain injuries.
The winning bidder will be able to choose the GT500's exterior, interior and stripe colors, and is scheduled to receive the car, signed by Parnelli Jones in appreciation for the donation, by the end of 2013. Watch the video below to see the auction-block action.
2014 Roush Stage 3 Mustang
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Up until now, it's been some years since I managed to get behind the wheel of the hot Mustangs tuned by the folks at Roush Performance. My memories of those vehicles are fond, as the Roush up-fits usually make for better-driving examples of the iconic Ford pony, with better-tuned suspensions, excellent short-shift kits and, of course, huge additions of power. The wake-your-neighbors aural characteristics of these cars have been nothing short of outstanding, too.
But in the years since my last experience with the Roush formula, Ford's own development team has churned out some pretty potent 'Stangs. We currently live in a world where the Blue Oval will sell you a Mustang with 662 horsepower from the factory, and the recently departed Boss 302 remains one of the best Mustangs - and best sports coupes - the Autoblog crew has ever driven.
So with great-driving and hugely powerful Mustangs coming straight off the line at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant, does the Roush package still offer that extra special something to make it stand out? I spent a week with a Stage 3 coupe to find out.
