1967 Ford Rachero 500 390 EFI Resto Mod/Pro touring car This truck is Fast and Beautiful. It handle and stops better than any pick up you have ever driven too. I am a
professional car builder and well known diagnostician and technician I built
this truck for me but my family has decided they like going to car events
for me so we are needing a few more seating positions and I don't have enough
room for this one and I can't stand to have it sit around without being
enjoyed. You are buying this car for 30% of the cost to build it or more
to the point you are buying the paint and I am throwing in one really
nice hot rod. The body and interior were media blasted and made laser straight including sand and fill across panels for that show car look. All repairs were done with the car on a rotisserie. All the blocking was done this way too so even the bottom of the car is straight if you look up at it. The color is the 2009 Ford F series Red which is pretty close to the original 67 red but much easier to match. All of the stainless on the car has been polished, all of the chrome has been completely restored including the dash parts (over $1100 just in the interior chrome bezels of the gauges and A/C vents) Nearly every system on it has been upgraded from lighting and wiring to a complete redesign of the suspension for better ride and handling than Ranchero's normally had. Here is the list:

the body joints were cleaned and resealed with new joint sealant All lines

Suspension The
factory suspension has been plotted in my Lotus suspension design software
to improve several areas. Moved the
upper control arms to better locations for better camber curve and anti dive.
(similar to the Shelby mod on the mustangs) Removed the
springs from the upper control arms and utilized adjustable air coil overs
on the lower control arms to lower the spring roll pivot points. Custom
adjustable upper coil over seats on the front. Boss
Mustang style lower frame rail supports welded in All new
parts in Steering Rear suspension
is a Rocker arm like a Formula 1 car. The Air coil overs are horizontal mounted
and attach to the rocker arms and pushrods down to the rear end. This reduces
unsprung weight and keeps the rear from bouncing over rough roads and there is
no wheel hop from this suspension.

Inside Ford's high-tech climate chamber
Sat, Dec 27 2014There are two ways an automaker can test its vehicles in extreme climates: it can send said vehicle around the world – from Death Valley to the Arctic Circle – in search of the harshest weather, or it can recreate those conditions in an enclosed environment. We're sure that many automakers undertake some combination of both, but in this latest video clip, Ford shows us around inside it's state-of-the-art climate chamber. At its Driveability Test Facility in Allen Park, MI – inaugurated in 2010 just across the street from the Roush Technology Center – Ford can simulate all sorts of extreme conditions. It can drop the temperature down to -40 degrees Fahrenheit or raise it up to 130, and take it up to a simulated 12,000 feet above sea level or drop it down to 280 feet below. blast it with 150-mile-per-hour winds. It can control the level of humidity, approximate the intensity of the sun and even blast the test vehicle with artificial snow, just like your favorite ski resort. The facility strikes us as an engineering feat as impressive as some of the vehicles it's used to test, but don't take our word for it – scope it out for yourself in this brief two-minute video clip, which even includes some helpful tips for winter driving this holiday season and beyond.

Ford 1.0L takes third-straight International Engine of the Year award
Thu, 26 Jun 2014Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost is proving to be The Little Engine That Could, and it continues to acquit itself well, finding favor as one of the best powerplants in the world. To confirm it yet again, the tiny mill just won the International Engine of the Year award for the third year in a row, likewise also nabbing the title in the Sub 1.0-liter category.
Packing 123 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque with overboost (125 lb-ft normally), the tiny engine combines impressive power in a size small enough to be a carry-on item for a commercial flight. US buyers only got a taste of the award winner in the 2014 Fiesta, while the 1.0 EcoBoost has been available throughout the Ford lineup in Europe for a few years now. American sales have reportedly been strong, however, and next up in the US, the mill will find its way into the 2015 Focus.
The panel of 82 jury members from 34 countries also named the Mercedes-AMG 2.0-liter turbo found in the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 AMG models with 355 hp and 332 lb-ft as the best New Engine for 2014. The electric powertrain from Tesla won Green Engine prize, and the 4.5-liter V8 from the Ferrari 458 Italia took home the honor of top Performance Engine yet again. You can check out all the winners below, and scroll down further to read Ford's celebratory announcement of its award.
Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both
Tue, 12 Mar 2013A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.
