@@Thecraig909 id love to but im disabled and dont have an income .
Just put a coyote, bro
@@ElCheyenneazul5.7 thats not a bad idea if he likes technology .
@@Thecraig909 I agree I have an LS Obs 6.0 nv4500
The fact you took the time to do this video on top of doing the exact build sheet with part numbers and specs. That shows you the real deal car guy. Us people that love this thing want to enjoy the same thing you have built and no one shares that much info. That is something in itself that is greatly appreciated. 🙏🏻
I like the kind of rough, no to street friendly setup. The rough idle, the noise. In a world of over sanitized, too clean pain, and cars that look more show than go, it’s refreshing.
Was anyone else's first thought "He broke the engine again, didn't he?"
Edit: Sowwy for the doubt Cwaig lol
I thought he did 😂😂
I thought is actually over it, like to the point of getting rid of it?
@@FORDCAMPERSPECIAL inspired by breaking the engine again* lol
You’re a weirdo talking to another dude like that
@RigoHernandezJr. Oh noooo! Random person on the interwebs thinks I'm weird! Someone else's opinion of me is unfavorable! What will I do?! My life is doomed! Woe is me....
It does need to make the trip to HRPT next year...hopefully that'll happen.
Agreed!
@Thecraig909 can't get enough of it man. Keep up the great work man
Love the way loud cars sound. As long as they aren’t mine. When I was younger I had loud rigs like that but quickly realized it loses its appeal if you drive it more than 15 mins at a time.
If you sit down to pee sure.
@@CorbinLefebvre guys like you that use their car to measure their manhood is pathetic. Tell your wife I said hi.
The idea of "over building" something implies that there is a misalignment between the goal and the result of the build. Some folks like the build process, some like the driving, some like the show scene, some focus on racing/competition. The nature of the build should align with the intended use, and it can be a serious bummer if you spend a bunch of time, effort, money, and emotion on building a car one way just to find out it's not good at whatever you chose, or that it's not what you really wanted/needed. But what I infer from this video is that you have maybe changed a bit of what you want from the build since finishing this version. Nothing wrong with that. It may be exactly what you set out to build, even reaching a kind of actualized ideal. But it doesn't have to remain as-is if it can be something (you deem) better.
you summed it up very well. I'm only a year younger than Craig and yeah.. what you wanted 4-6 years ago most likely will have changed slightly due to more knowledge, experience, priorities, etc. It's why gearheads usually have multiple cars.. but also far too many get in over their heads with expectations sometimes too.
You should do a 351w build
Craig I have been watching your channel since day 1 and helped me finish my 1971 ford f100 sport custom and get it on the road as a daily driver I agree with you on the ideas you're talking about my truck got a long way to ho but I get lots of people telling me that they like the old truck look hello from Canada 😊
I love it brother! It’s nasty and puts a smile on your face. Thats all that really matters. If you downgrade it to make it more street friendly I think you’ll always crave the nastiness again . And I love the N91 🎉
Still waiting for your f100 video release 😂
@@kaboom1077 hopefully Monday 😎🤘
@@BREW2LFOXBODYyoooo I can’t wait! I want to get either a 71 f100 of f250 I’d slam the f100 and lift and put 37s on the f 250.
Back in the late 80's my dad and little brother built a 352 Fe motor. 390 30 over, pistons rods, and crank. 2v heads. 4 barrel intake. All put into a 1/2 ton 4x4 long bed truck. Now that was a fun truck . 10 miles to the gallon
And yes do the power steering but do the electronic conversion instead of the hassle of power pump leaks and rebuilds.. plenty of videos out there people doing the conversion for their hotrods and muscle cars
Craig This Truck is a Beast and I love it! The Look.The Power,The Sound Blasting out the Pipes.Ive been watching your earlier videos of when you were in high school working on it and changing things its come a long way Im glad to see you smile and happy with all the work you have put into it over the years that has to b an undescribable feeling in itself ! Thanks for sharing all the videos with us and looking forward to many more!
Definitely add some sort of traction bar in the rear
A vintage air kit would be nice
Can we take a minute to appreciate how insane the quality of this video is - been watching for years and this is by far the best video Craig’s done! (The truck is next level awesome too) huge respect from across the pond 🇬🇧🍻
☺️
Hell yeah to drag racing. Something I really want to do with my truck is track days, so seeing you rip this sucker on a circuit would be rad.
U are such a underrated UA-camr ive been watching since u put the video out of u at highschool with the truck open headers i love ur channel and ur build
I like this format of videos buddy, casual yet high production value feeling.
Also the truck kicks ass 🤘🤘
More cubes would tame it down a bit. Late model 351 short block, with your same heads on it.
Bro your channel, your truck just inspired me to get back to work on my 79 F100 short bed 2 wheel drive 🙏🏽 same kind of up bringing, my dad bought me my 79 for high school as my first truck for 1500 back in 2009. I will either pass it down to my kid or die with it in my possession 💪🏽 I will definitely dip into that build sheet for sure. Great videos and a bad mofo of a truck 🫡
Craig go down the street in SD and get a gear vendors overdrive unit for it, it will keep your performance but give you the drivability you want in traffic too.
My man, Craig... i'm in the market for a 1970-1972 Ford F Truck.... thought I might drop a cummins in it... after watching and listening to yours... many need your assistance! Legit!
Always liked the drivability of the Anderson N41 cam! But man that N91 sounds so wicked!! One of the best sounding sbf N/A I’ve herd!
It would be sweet to see the truck come out to the east coast. And speaking of the east coast a buddy of mine is hosting an event at my local dragstrip Shadyside in boiling springs NC on October 12th. It would be nice to see it come out to some shows on the east coast 🤘🏻
Hopefully the Galaxie is next… I’ve had a 64 Galaxie since 97, and I Daily drive a 66 f100, my son has a 72 f100 that’s still a work in progress. I can’t wait to see what you’ve done with the Galaxie.
Definitely would love to see a harness bar setup, I'm going to start building my 69' next year and I'm wanting to do buckets so that would be very helpful to see how you do it. Also power steering is a must for making it nice to drive. Always love seeing a new upload!
That 909 squat n scream from ol’ rust n cream is a whole net vibe
This makes sense, years ago I built a stock block 347 with small TFS heads. It was in my 91 Fox body and that thing pulled like an old school big block, it was surprisingly fast for an "incorrect" build.
If you want to quiet the truck down without much power loss, consider adding electric cutouts then two 24" glasspacks for when you don't want to set alarms off.
My 302 MGB has dual 2.25" exhausts, no H or X pipe, and two 2' glasspacks with turndowns. It's surprisingly quiet while still sounding meaner than any little 1.8L MG ever could
I'd love to see a redo/upgrade to the suspension or brakes
This is the build I want to put in my 93 f150! Absolutely love the way it sounds and runs! 🤘😎
Need to finish the sports customs trim. Get the mirrors back on the doors. And do something with the antennas whole. And take a coil out of the front to have a more of a level stance.
yeah front needs to be a few inches lower
@@JohnsonT2724 It looks like the California Squat. I agree. Lower the front or raise the rear
Based on title, I thought “Let Whistling Diesel test it” 😂😂
craig I love this truck and it is my main inspiration for my truck that im building a Windsor for right now, what i would personally love to see is a tall deck windsor and a bit of handling upgrades, I plan to make my truck a corner carver and I would love to see what your engineering brain comes up with to make this amazing truck handle well. will always love watching your videos no matter what keep it up cwaig!!!
Hey man I love the build on the truck. It is yours and yours to build it’s nice to see someone that has a bad ass old truck and drives it
Thank you for doing a video like this and posting your build sheet. I have a 1965 F5 Cobra and it has a 93 Foxbody Cobra drivetrain in it and I don't hate it, just not a fan of the aesthetics so I plan on building your motor for it and putting a tkx as well. Time to get rowdy!!!
Need to bring the F100 and or the crew cab to Texas for LoneStarTrowdown or to ClassicTruckThrowdown.
Would love to see a drag racing series with the truck, seat upgrade is a must but also maybe install exhaust cut outs with a more tame muffler
I’m in the progress of building a 390fe I’m stroking it out to a 426 can’t wait to get it in my 74 ford f100!! Hopping it turns out as clean as urs!!!
My list of changes
-dropped I beams
-Caltracs (which you mentioned)
-some dedicated drag wheels would be cool
Other than that I don’t care for the wing but that’s a personal opinion. Definitely do the track deal. Not many stick full size trucks at the track
Sounds insane, neighbors must love that.
Leave it just like it is and make it a weekend cruiser and trailer it to shows. Roll cage definitely!!!! Safety first
17:21 again a coyote you can spin them to 8,000 no problem and still make probably more power but then cruise home in a tame truck with fuel injection. That way if you go across country no adjusting carbs for elevation.
Yes, But there’s no cool factor or as rewarding because it’s just not a SBF with cast factory block and crank
auto magic Craiger. That manual trans is a blast to drive! Probably a little easier around my town where there is no traffic lights. A convertor with a bout 3500-3800 stall will putt around town easy peasy......
You ran into my friend Steve!!! He runs that on his pool route daily!!! Good word bro!
Put it on the dyno. Lets see what it does!
Personally, I'd like to see some NVH and comfort improvements, considering it's already a weapon.
MLV with a foam decoupling layer sound deadener.
Semi bucket seats with a lapsash is an excellent idea, as you've said.
A reverse camera would be a nice addition in this age of small parking spaces and gigantic trucks/SUVs.
Exhaust redirection valve to cut over to the biggest mufflers you can fit.
GPS headunit to tie in with the camera, but integrated with the original aesthetic.
Do you have AC in that rig? Always a winner.
I'm not sure what options you have regarding a change in cam profile/lift/duration to improve the idle and whether an organic clutch option exists that works with that box and your driving style.
You probably should have built a 9.5" Windsor with a longer stroke, like a 408+ci so it's a little more streetable makes over 500hp and is just way smoother and easier to drive around.
What happened to the Galaxies?
I ask myself the same question, I drive mine around for awhile and it’s just so touchy and such a handful It’s fun for awhile but I wouldn’t want to drive it very far
JUST SUPER COOL! Awesome truck and gearhead to share his creation list.😎😎👍👍
I agree with fixing the squat, seats yes for harnesses, maybe fix the paint? Big stretch but restored pain would look good too. Put back the Goodyear tires with the white back on those look chillin. What about a back bumper? Like hello? Or you could re put the neon like front headlights back on? Also what about the two exhausts relocated in the back like a Ford Raptor? Just Some thoughts
Built damn near the same combo. Grenaded 6 and 7 on the stock bottom end on the first drive. Was a roller 302 block. 60 over and 20 under crank. Afr 185s and anderson n111. If I'm gonna do it again and throw parts at a bottom end, 351 or 347
Craig, you need to do a video like this for all the projects 🤙
Drivability upgrades would be fuel injection would recommend edelbrock pro flow 4. Then suspension upgrade static not air. Crown vick or qa1 system. I like the vic front suspension due to availability and cost. Ive installed a qa1 rear suspension was impressed with quality of everything. Last but not least quiet exhuast with cutouts. Love watching you evolve.
Wonder how many speeding tickets have you gotten?
That truck sounds so good! Keep it up young man well done
The black widow mufflers are part of the issue. They don't make a quiet muffler. I run dynomax ultra flows on my Duster, they are livable on a long drive. We went from Greenville to Sebring and back.
I think if you put a Y pipe with electric cutouts on there and ran some say venom 250s out the back of the truck it would make it much more drivable. You could have the nice loud exhaust when you want it at the push of a button and cruise with a bearable noise level when desired.
Do you see yourself doing a classic daily driver build at some point? Maybe something like a first gen mustang but with a drivetrain that can attain a reasonable mpg (maybe around 20), AC, and some features like audio, sound deadening, etc? You’ve got some sweet stuff but I don’t think I see anything classic you’d gladly hop into for a 1k road trip or something. I do like the idea of helping the f100 put power down and launch at the track.
Sounds like the exhaust might be one thing to change since you mentioned several times being self-conscious. Accordingly, it would be cool to see before-and-after chassis dyno results comparing the current exhaust to one that goes up, over the rear axle, and exits out the sides. I'd be very interested to see the effect of the additional exhaust path changes of direction. I have a '69 Bronco with a 426 Windsor and the only mufflers I could package (due to the complexity of my rear suspension) were Magnaflows with the inlets and outlets at the same end of the muffler so the exhaust has to go in, make a U-turn, and then come back out. I love the sound but I wonder how much performance I'm sacrificing.
Nope, now you can rip some good hits on it, and no worries! Sounds AWESOME!
Did the same thing with my foxbody like 20yrs ago. Too much of everything made it not fun on the street. Hand down favorite was my mostly stock 89 LX coupe 5 speed. Lowering springs, 10 Holes, and an x pipe. Perfect cruiser
So, to answer your question at the end....yeah 👍 all of that!! If you want too. I like the fact that it's "only 500hp". I like realistic builds with streetable engines. I can't afford these 1000+ hp builds with suspension and drivetrain parts to match! 400-600hp is plenty for street applications. If you're going to the track, that's different. Nothing wrong with that. More power too you .👍👍 I love racing no matter what!
I'm a street guy and I like vehicles in the power range your truck is making.💪💪
Awesome build!!! Bring back the small block killer shirt!!! I need more! 🇺🇸💪🏼
I just put together a hopefully daily driver out of a 73 f100 4x4 swb. It had a 390 fe that was plenty torquey but was worn out and burned oil. I swapped in a fresh 351w from a 69 mustang. Its a fun truck but I might need to swap out the cam for a more streetable one. It sounds pretty rad at idle and stop lights but doesn't really make power till 2500 and up. Definitely a difference between low end power big block and top end power small block. It does get a wee bit better mpg from 10-12 to 12-14 🤷🏽♂️
A self learning throttle body set up. Then a 351
For the intended purpose, no. To make it more roadtrippable, maybe better belts, maybe '69 Mustang seats, since they have head restraints (save the race seats for when it's actually on track), retune the carb a bit as you were saying, then add some cutouts and a full exhaust that exits at the rear end. One with larger mufflers, so it'll be quieter until the switch is hit. At that point, the current exhaust would be used.
Good idea, the electric cut outs and some large tame mufflers for highway cruising would be a game changer.
If you can't build a quiet exhaust that exits before the rear end you dont need to be modding a vehicle. My 331 Ranger is half the size of this fullsize and has an exhaust that exits before the rear tires and is quiet as can be
@@damianlindsey6177 The original poster was talking about a quiet exhaust with cutouts. This way he can cruise on the highway without going deaf but open the cutouts at car shows so it sounds like a NASCAR again.
If you can't read a comment, comprehend, form a thought, and leave a response that makes sense you shouldn't be commenting in the first place.
@@berserkir i read about the cutouts I was referring to the lame ass rear exit exhaust. I used to run cutouts on an old mustang of mine but still didn't have the exhaust coming out the rear. The exhaust is to be heard, not seen. Its all opinions man.
@@damianlindsey6177 I think the main point was Craig having the option of quiet vs. loud for traveling. I didn't know your issue was where the exhaust exited. I don't like exhaust tips under the bumper either so I have just had it tucked behind the rear bumper with turn downs.
But I have not owned a quite vehicle in the 25 years I have been driving. I'm old now so last year I used a long case Walker quite flow on my catless Silverado with headers and it's very mellow. Zero drone and just a very slight exhaust note.
I wanna see rear suspension work
You already did it ,and sold it brotha! Crown vic front end and 4link in the back!!
thats why i do daily drive a 1966 amc rambler with a 600 hp dirt track racer built sbc with a holley sniper becuase it makes everone happy everyone loves it and waves everwhere im going and love it to !
I smile every time I watch this truck
I will challenge you when I have my 66 c10 built. So I’ll see you in a few years. But as far as what should be done to the truck, I think it might eventually benefit from some suspension upgrade and maybe a custom frame one day
The crew cab and the F-100 need to come to F-100 nationals in Tennessee!
I've got a 82 Merc Cougar XR7 with the little 255 v8, been building a 302 roller motor just like the 306 in that truck. Hoping for 400ish range
Great video Craig. The power steering and 5 point seat belts would be great videos. Keep them coming out
Yeah, keep tuning, it is a machine, make it do what you want-from cruise to smashin gears, race etc.
Try a cam with slightly less duration but with a wider 114 LSA. Comp CCA-35-775-8 236/248-114 0.579 lift.
A street tire drags series might be fun... I figure that's the best way to get the real daily drivers out... guys out on 200+ treadwear tires... but maybe it's silly to even try that that on the strip.
Front half the frame and put crown Vic suspension on it with fully adjustable coils and phat sway bar
Dude I love this truck the way it is. But food for thought I think it would be bad ass to have a 500hp 71 truck with ac. You said you want to drive it more and ac would be nice on 100 plus days. Keep up the awesome work.
Only thing i wanna see changed is a complete fresh repaint,i know wont happen but think it would make a whole new respect for all your hard work on rest of trucks appeal, white is fine.but it can be any color just not rust color!!!snooky pa❤❤❤😂😂😂
Dude! i would be sleepin in that and driving everywhere!
Take it on power tour next year I remember Salomon told you bring your own car next year, and that was like two years ago, so this truck will be perfect for it. go fot it.
Love your videos Craig, perfect thing to watch on the treadmill at the gym
A drag race day would be awesome I'm trying to see you build a 351w so that I can model my 2door long bed bullnose after it
good work Craig I agree with what you said lets see some racing but with our friends 500hp vibes
Just make a second exhaust setup with super10’s? For me they are extremely streetably quiet so it might work while still being nice and meaty. What I do is I will bump my muffler to about .5” over pipe size to help that high rpm flow if your really worried about that
Toss another sniper 2 on this thing and put it on some white steelies with poverty caps! Anyway ya shake it, killer truck. Keep it rippin
When you change the cams on the carb you may need to look into power valve aswell
Dang Craig put some power steering put some comfort in it
Would like to see you bend the I beams so that it can be aligned of replace then with lowering beams to make it more enjoyable to drive.
Only thing I would change about this truck, is induction and exhaust. As awesome as it sounds, I couldn't live with it. Throw an ITB or twin 2-bbl induction on it, and replace the X-pipe with a single Flowmaster 50 series Big Block SUV dual-in/dual-out.
Cwaig is the people’s champ of cartube 💪🏾
Great build only thing i would change is seats and belts for more safety
Definitely paying for the patreon to get the full specs. Only thing in curious about is if it would all work with a stock 289 crank. Not against a 302 crank, just saving a few dollars would help.
Nolan @ Isky Cams can design you a camshaft that will still sound and run as good but be a more friendly driver. Just an idea. Best of luck. Take Care!!!
C-4 trans 3800 stall converter with a gear venders over drive unit . Put center console out of a 71 mustang and good belts to keep you safe.This would let you drive it like a stick shift and do burn outs and cruise down the highway best of both worlds and does not change the truck alot
At 55 years old myself, I would definitely daily drive it,sure would
I would put a 351 with aluminum heads and a mild cam, efi for a daily driver.
