1951 Ford F-1 Truck Rat Rod 283 Chevy Powerpack Engine on 2040-cars
Jeffersonville, Georgia, United States
|
1951 Ford F1 with 1957 Chevy 283 Powerpack This truck started out life as a red Atlanta GA built V8 half ton 5 star extra cab pickup. At some point in time it was been converted to 12 VDC, repainted red, interior painted black, flathead pulled and replaced with a 283 and GM 3 speed manual transmission. Sometime after that it was parked and has remained parked for years. The engine carries casting number 3731548 and the production code is “FI0I0FC”; I decode this as 1957 Chevy 283 Powerpack (220 HP) built at Flint on Oct 10 and originally hooked to a powerglide. I guess this has the special bushing to let the manual trans main drive gear engage. Note triangle over rectangle on heads, squarebore Carter carb, rams horns manifolds, etc. It is fitted to the truck with a Hurst adapter to use the Ford donut mounts on the frame in the original location. Perfect engine for your Chevy restoration, other rat rod, or old school Ford hot-rod going for the late 50s/early 60s look. The truck is soft around all edges with obvious rust in fenders, floor, bed, hood, running boards, doors, etc., is missing parts, and has a few left over “accessory” holes here and there for various antennas, hood ornaments, and etc. Frame appears solid and the stainless around the windshield is nice. I do have the two kick panels for the doors. If you want to make a fenderless rat rod this would be a good foundation because the cab and bed have a pretty good patina look to them. Engine is stuck but has good looking oil and still had anti-freeze when I pulled the heater out. Hasn’t been turned over in so long the fan belt rotted out the pulleys from moisture. The rear brakes were stuck so I had to torch the drums off; I saved all the other hardware. The truck now rolls freely and steers; tires hold air. I can’t ship it but I can help load it on your trailer. $100

2015 Ford Mustang GT Line-Lock Burnout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014In this brief Short Cut, Autoblog's Steven Ewing demonstrates Line-Lock on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Accessed through an on-screen performance menu, the feature temporarily locks the front brakes to help you heat up the rear tires for better traction, as you would for drag racing. The result? A 15-second smokescreen.
V6 engines will outpace V8s for the 2015 Ford F-150
Wed, 23 Jul 2014How times have changed. Even five years ago, who would have thought the mighty V8 would be just another engine choice for buyers of the 2015 Ford F-150?
Ford is projecting about 28 percent of the next-generation trucks will have the 5.0-liter V8. That's nothing to sneeze at, but consider this: Ford figures its two EcoBoost truck engines - the new 2.7-liter V6 and the existing 3.5-liter V6 - will also each account for about 28 percent of the F-150's sales (56 percent total). That leaves only 15 percent of the pie for the 3.5-liter (non-EcoBoost) V6. The new F-150 goes on sale late this year.

Ford reserving 50th Anniversary Mustangs for service members
Tue, Dec 16 2014Think getting your hands on one of the 1,964 50th Anniversary Ford Mustangs is hard as a civilian? Imagine how tough it might be for the Mustang fanatics in our nation's military. Perhaps recognizing this fact, Ford Emerging Market Services and the Overseas Military Sales Corporation (the only Ford-authorized retailer on the military's bases) ran a raffle, with the winners receiving the opportunity to purchase one of the limited-edition muscle cars. Ford EMS and OMS received 300 entries to the raffle, although with only eight 50th Anniversary Stangs to hand out, we imagine there were quite a lot of disappointed soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. "We are pleased to offer limited-edition anniversary Mustangs to members of our military through our Military Appreciation Program, and we are delighted at the response it's receiving," Doug Walczak, EMS' fleet sales manager, said. The first Mustang was delivered to Army Maj. Del Boyer, shown above. While Maj. Boyer took delivery in New York, the raffle was open to servicemembers both at home and abroad.
