Hi From Western Australia!

Post by Weapon_F »

Hi All,

recently picked up a 71 F100 custom as a project, it originally had a 6, i'd say 250, as we didn't get 300 6's in aus as far as i know. it has since had a cleveland v8 put in, which has been a poor conversion. i am doing a body off rebuild, which is a great learning curve as my previous projects have been 70's japanese cars (datsuns) i'm sure i'll have a lot of questions for you guys as there is a very minimal amount of info over here for these old trucks.

Cheers! 8)

Oh, I thought you meant the intake manifold. Thanks for clarifying.

Well I'll happily stand corrected! Cool to know of another bump owner in WA! Might have to hit you up with a few questions over my build time!
