At the moment this 1955 Ford
Pickup is equipped with a fresh 1974 Ford 460" engine that has been bored
and stroked to 521". We used an Eagle crank, Eagle H-beam rods and a wild
Comp-Cams full roller cam. We used Edelbrock Super Cobra-Jet cylinder heads.
We installed a Victor intake with an 1,150cfm Holley 4-barrel. Experience
tells me this newly built motor, which was built by myself, makes over 700
horsepower. This hot street engine was designed to run on pump
gas. Once broken in, this motor will go into our 62 Ford pickup with a 250
shot of NOS. We will put the 466" Lincoln back in this 55 at that time. We built up the Lincoln C-6 automatic transmission with a 2500
rpm converter and heavy duty clutches. We fed the power to a Ford 9" with
3:73 gears and a Detroit locker. We added electric windows, air
conditioning, a cool stereo, 4-wheel power disc brakes and a tilt fiberglass
hood. We used an IFS front clip with rack and pinion steering. Rubber
on the front is 2.45 R 60 15 T/A Radials. The bed
has been mildly tubbed to fit the 2.95 R 50 16 rear T/A Radials. The gray and
black paint on this truck is stunning. We used red Honduran Mahogany in the
back of this truck. The interior is triple tone gray with tribal scallops
and APC racing buckets. This is a frame-off restoration utilizing
far too many new parts to list. This is a show winning truck, taking "Best
Modified Pickup" on its first outing Memorial Day weekend. Call for a viewing appointment.
When we change the motor back to the 466" Lincoln bullet the price will be:
$50,000 OBO.
