Greetings from Nevada

Post by ontheGaS »

Hi all, I've owned a '69 F-250 Camper Special Ranger for a few years now. It's a survivor with 85K on it. I've been in the 390 rebuild process now for a year...getting close to install. Anyway, we'll be talkin' at ya!

Hi All,

Thanks for the nice welcome! The intake is an Edelbrock
performer. I installed a performer cam as well. I am
having issue with rocker/valve clearance since heads
and block were machined. Right head needs shorter
pushrods all around, most of the left head pushrods
are ok.

Best way to remove a stock intake is with a cherry picker! :thup:
Nice looking engine!
