Half ton project
This is my obs ford
Im building a full frame from scratch for it with 1 3/4 tubing
It's getting an LSD 8.8 rear with 3.08 gears and triangulated 4 link
Dana 44 front axle
Ve pump Cummins with ratman hotrod parts.
BD manifold, home ported heads, p pump injectors that I'll have to adjust the pop pressure on. Head studs and an MLS gasket. Going to deck the block to bring compression up I think if I have .020 piston to head clearance ill have something close to a static 18.5:1.
Colt cam big stick with matching springs and 24v tappets
I have plans to balance and lighten the pistons rods and crank with a polish afterwards
I've purchased a cerakote kit with all of their specialty coatings for the engine including piston top coat which is heat rejecting and the ultra slick for the skirts. I think the piston top coat will work awesome on the heads and inside the ports too to keep heat in the exh and out of the coolant. And high temp manifold coating to keep the manifold and turbo from going orange. The last coating is a heat transfer coating which is supposed to increase heat emmisivity to improve efficiency of coolers like rads or intercoolers. Might be snake oil idk
I'll probably use an he351 turbo
4l80 trans with a Quikr controller
Going to keep the hydro boost that came with the ford and see if I like it I've heard mixed reviews but I have all the parts to swap it
The goal is a fun 12v that I can daily and get good mileage out of. I've put a heavy priority on keeping things light
If anyone has any experience with MLS gaskets I'd like to hear your story. I know I need to have a tighter finish to get a seal. I had one on my small block and dump all of the guts on the ground before blowing the head gasket.
And if anyone has made high compression 12vs I wanna hear about that too.
