1956 Ford F-100 on 2040-cars
Outlook, Washington, United States
1956 Ford F100 Pick Up.
Body/Paint: The body has all original steel with exception to the rear fenders, which are fiberglass, which are a little wider than stock. The body is in excellent condition. The only alterations to the body from stock is the dash with some slight custom work done as well as how the hood mounts, which is the slide type that works as it should. Also the tail gate has been smoothed. The paint is Sherwin Williams Hot Rod Red that looks excellent with a few repaired chips on the front of the truck. Ghost flames on front hood and fenders blending into the door using pearl. The build looks like only a couple of years old.
Interior: The interior is grey cloth and is super clean like the whole truck. Customized dash with VDO gauges. Speedo, tach, fuel (15 gallon), volt, oil pressure and temp. Stereo multiple CD player stored under seat with electric antenna. GM tilt with LaCarra steering wheel. Cold AC.
Running Gear: 454/500HP Chevrolet big block. 30 over with hardened internals, roller cam, Keith Black pistons, cast iron heads, Weind aluminum intake manifold, 850 cfm double pumper Demon carb, HEI ignition with manual fan. HD aluminum radiator. Runs cool. Lots of polished aluminum and chrome. TH 400 totally rebuilt with shift kit and 2500 stall. Custom driveline. The rear end is an 88 Corvette with 373 gears, posi. Power steering and brakes.
Suspension: The front end is a Valarie clip welded to the stock frame with a Corvette rear independent suspension. This is the reason fiberglass rear fenders were used to accommodate the width of the rear end as well as the tire size. Even though the fenders are wider they look stock with correct dimensions.
Bright work: Restored with stainless front and rear bumpers in very good condition and shows well.
Glass: Rear glass is original in very good condition with windshield and side windows replaced.
Exhaust: Stock exhaust manifolds with 2 ½ inch pipes with turbo style mufflers. Sounds awesome.
Brakes: 4 wheel disc brakes. Front brakes are Plymouth with rears Corvette.
Wheels/Tires: The wheels are Billet Specialties strip style with Toyo Proxies tires with only 3K miles. The fronts are 235/45 ZR 17. Rears are 275/35 ZR 18.

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.

Ram 1500 bests new F-150 in MT pickup shootout
Tue, Nov 25 2014Ford's 2015 Ford F-150 is a technological tour-de-force, what with its aluminum-intensive construction and its powerful and efficient new 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine option. But now that it's hit the market, it's time to get down to brass tacks and find out how just the latest F-150 actually stands up to its rivals in the hyper-competitive fullsize segment. Motor Trend is among the first to round up the Ford (in Lariat 2.7-liter 4X4 guise here) and put it up against the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman EcoDiesel 4x4 and 5.3-liter-equipped Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 to find out how Dearborn's new-think truck measures up. The test put the trio through over 1,000 miles of tough driving in California and Arizona in a variety of conditions from just cruising around unladen to hauling a trailer. MT found all three trucks to be competent, but the most praise got heaped on the Ram and the Ford, with the Chevrolet falling a step behind its competitors in many tests. Among the Ford's most-liked features was its 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 that helped make the F-150 easily the quickest of the group, with some editors saying the engine felt about the same whether driving around with cargo in the bed or not. There was some minor turbo lag during acceleration while trailering, but that issue affected the Ram, too. The Ram's powertrain was lauded, as well. The EcoDiesel was torquey around town, and the 1500's combination of an eight-speed automatic and air suspension was judged to be the best of the lot. It was the most difficult to get into the bed, though. The Ram also won the fuel economy award by netting 20-miles-per-gallon city and 28-mpg highway in the test to beat its Environmental Protection Agency ratings of 19/27. The Ford's EcoBoost managed 17/22, one mpg off each from the EPA numbers, and using a lot of throttle really depleted its efficiency. As MT notes, however, it would take time for the diesel's mileage savings to pay off at the pump for these two trucks. In the end, the Ram just barely eked out the win, with the title partially earned because of "the Ford's unknown maintenance and aluminum repair costs," according to MT.
