Powertrain of 1976 Ford F-250 Crew Cab F28 4X4

This is a 1 of 3 1976 Ford F-250 Cab & Chassis Crew Cab 4x4 truck. It was originally ordered by Averett University, and was used by the University until around the 1990s. It was then sold, and remained in Moore County, North Carolina until 2019 when I bought it and hauled it to Virginia. The worn out 360 FE engine, the inch thick patches of body filler in the roof, and the paintless bed floor was evidence that this truck was a true workhorse in its day.
The restoration began with acquiring an excellent condition replacement roof from a 1974 Ford F250 Crew Cab, which had no holes or scratches. The 360 FE engine and the NP435 4-speed transmission were removed. A section around the hole in the passenger floor pan was replace, as well as the cab mount. The frame was cleaned, prepped, and painted with POR-15. The roof was removed from the truck. With the roof off, the inside of A,B, & C pillars with coated with Eastwood Internal Frame Coating to preserve the inner panels from corrosion. The roof supports were prepped and coated with POR-15. Although not needed, the inside of the replacement roof was prepped and painted with POR-15 to seal the roof from the unlikelihood for corrosion. Subsequently it was installed on the truck.
The brake lines were replaced with coated hard lines. The rear Dana 60 was converted to disk brakes, equipped with emergency brake cables. The calipers, rotors, and brakes pads were replaced on the front Dana 60 too. The NP435 was overhauled with the Novak master rebuild kit (i.e. new bearings, seals, snap rings, & synchronizers). The engine was overhauled by an engine shop. It got forged pistions(0.030 over), comp cam Thumpr camshaft(0.519/.501), comp cam lifters, roller rocker arms(PRW PQx Series), new pushrods, Comp Cam double row timing gear and chain, Melling M57HV oil pump, Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum Cylinder Heads, and Edelbrock Pro Flow 4 direct port fuel injection system. The engine was mated with the infamous Stan’s Tri-Y headers, which flow to two Flowmaster Super HP-2 mufflers that exit just in front of the rear tires. The engine was installed with new mounts, water pump, thermostat, drive belts, alternator, starter, voltage regulator, a resurfaced flywheel, a new clutch plate, clutch disk, release bearing, and pilot bearing.
The fuel system consists of a new 23 gallon fuel tank, which is installed behind the rear Dana 60. A Walboro electric fuel pump(67gph/255lph) was installed in the tank. The high pressure fuel lines are fitted with -6AN fittings, and there’s a fuel regulator mounted on the inside of the frame just under the rear passenger seat. Of course, there’s an inline EFI fuel filter before the regulator.
There’s a new aluminum Champion radiator up front, with new hoses, and two electric cooling fans.
