My 1979 F100 (Project effin'hundred)

[Grand Marquis GT]

So, there's ANOTHER Navigator at the yard :evil:

[Fordman75]

Going to run a 2nd 5.4L in the back of the truck??

[Grand Marquis GT]

Not a bad idea. But then, I'd have to buy another turbo. Thats just too much!

When it comes to vehicle stuff with me "too much" is just about the right amount!

[marquisman]

you han have a hybrid! regular 5.4L in the front and the boosted 5.4L in the back

[Grand Marquis GT]

Progress! So, I got the one head off. You know, the ones I thought had the bent valves?

Well, I don't think I bent or broke anything other than those chains. Pistons look good. I haven't taken apart the heads yet, but I don't think I bent any valves. I will find out of course, when I send off the heads for port work.

Also, I went to the yard today, as I thought I was going to score parts of another Navigator that came into the yard! Of course, they hacked the fuck out of the truck in order to get the engine out. So, my trip was a bust

How far of a trip is it to the j-yard??

[Grand Marquis GT]

Only about 13 miles, but its in a roooouuugghhh part of town!

[Grand Marquis GT]

I worked on this heap a bit today.

I scored a 1967 aircleaner that I am going to modify and install in the place of that retarded looking stocker. I also have a solution for the oil blowing out of the breather. It's been solved

I got it firing on all 6 cylinders, and went to the scrappers to drop off some scrap aluminum I had laying around, and got some doors for the interior of my house. While I was at the scrappers they were admiring the old Ford, and these rednecks asked if it was for sale! No way, jose!

Eventful day!

More detail. How'd you fix it? Does it still sound like a diesel?

[Grand Marquis GT]

Sound is still the same.

I basically eliminated the aircleaner breather, and made my own. I used a chrome screw in breather, and ziptied a rag around it. Works.

[gadget73]

Never heard an I6 without at least one clattery lifter, and most have a couple. Don't rightly know why they do it, but they are some noisy damn motors.

[Fordman75]

My 300 doesn't have any lifter noise.
