Congrats Sean.

Great truck, sir. My favorite part is how you fixed that Ford motor problem that a lot of those Fords have.

Now that you have the fuel pump situation and transmission sorted out, have you taken it in for a real dyno tune?

Numbers, man, we want something quantifiable. You were shooting for 700rwhp, and you have a turbo bigger than a milk jug, so what's that thing putting down?

Absolutely LOVE this truck!!!

I was born and raised a Chevy guy but I love this truck. I also love the massive number of butt-hurt Chevy guys who are screaming on the Hot Rod Facebook page about your desecration of a Ford.

Great way to get the truck noticed!

Very cool, congrats!

Thank you guys for the great compliments, kind of funny that it was a flash in the pan for a few days, lots of hate, but also some great comments and compliments.

Got the truck out to a couple of good cruises the past few weekends. It was pretty fun, truck gets lots of looks when I pop the hood.

Ron came over today and we made another half dozen or so changes to the tune. It is running better and better each time. Peaked at 10lbs of boost, we got almost all of the knock out and are making progress on the boost side of things. Driveability stuff is pretty much nailed at this point. It is running in closed loop mode and very nicely as well.

Truck is fast, even just like this its fast. Makes boost at 2400 RPM and just keeps climbing. We were not able to make and great high rpm passes as it just gets too fast for city even freeway boost pulls.

Ron has learned a ton on this stuff and is doing such an excellent job. I really cannot thank him enough at this point

I do need to install a blow off valve though, we stopped tuning for today until I get one.

Thanks again Ron, truck is getting fun to drive now =)

Sean,
I love it, and I bleed Blue.

I think it's sad when another guy cant appreciate the time, effort, creativity, craftsmanship, and lets not forget safety features put into a build like this.

I look at it and it gives me ideas, it provokes my curiosity (how can I improve mine), it makes me smile, it makes me appreciate the sport more.

You did on hell of a build brother, I love it, and I bleed Blue!

Well Done!

Joe

Hackster, this truck is just the coolest

Kind of weird to see something I built in my little home garage on the cover of a magazine.

Get out there and get a copy =)

Sean

Great job Sean!

Congrats!!!

I love the truck and seeing you get well deserved credit for it. Congrats!

LS swap in a f100 cost
 

I am a Chevy guy but c10's are outrageous when it comes to pricing. How much did this swap run you and would it be worth the savings to buy an f100. I am trying to do a budget build with an LS swap I am trying to stay in the 10,000 price range for a f100 short bed and a 5.3 swap and some minor things no turbo. What do you think I could expect to spend on this swap with motor and the extras to get it running. Also would you be avalible to pick your brain if I go this route.

First off, congratulations! Awesome build - been following along and enjoying every step.

Skimmed back through the thread looking for it but couldn't find it. What tank did you end up putting between the rear frame rails? I have an F100 myself that I would like to borrow some ideas from your build for.

Thanks!

Most likely used a 70 Mustang fuel tank. Fits nicely between the rails, slap a stealth fuel pump in it and be done.

it is a 70 mustang tank. It's in the first three pages of the thread
