Here's another look at this great vehicle: • 427 FE Swapped Ford F1...
You absolutely nailed it calling this a 1970 Lightning, it's just the kind of thing SVT would have done if they were around in those days. I love period correct swaps like this.
Except for the C6 instead of a Top loader.
You said it..........the period correct part is what puts this build over the top. Everything part is of the era.
1970 500" Cadillac makes a torquey 1970 Chevy pickup engine...
In 1966, the Canadian Pontiacs came with a BBC 427"... more power than USA ones...
I thought the state of Florida didn't exist any more...
427 FE v8 in an Ford F150 ftw
My dad had a 70 ford f-250 with a 360 in it, I had a 428CJ Mustang my brother had 5 SCJ' and CJ's Mustangs. When we rebuild an CJ or SCJ we'd put them in the F-250 drive it around and to break in lol People didn't believe we did that, Just seemed Normal to us.
Cool someone else did same as me. Wasn't that big a deal when we were young.
That 427 needs a manual transmission its a beautiful truck
Yeah, a Top Loader would go great with that FE.
Standard would be fun but it needs a good top loader and not an np435.
Disagree........c6
I d love to build a 435 with 4 synchronized gears with a higher 1st. You can bang shift them at 7000, I ve done it.
@@Bbbbad724 didn’t know
I am a Mopar guy by heart, but always loved this version of Ford pickup. That engine is appropriate for that truck. Sounds, looks, and goes good
Total Ford guy,but at least you Mopar fans give credit where its due.Chevy guys would be slinging crap talk.If i wasnt a Ford guy,i would be a Mopar fan.
SAme.....overall the look of those trucks just cant be beat. Sad we will never see styling like this again
Todays trucks wont be around in 20 yrs or so are too tall wide heavy with paper thin sheetmetal
Ok Mopar definitely has some cool truck series, my second favorite classic 60's truck is actually the 65-71 dodge trucks and the 72-80 tin grille dodge trucks and the 81-90 and the one piece composite nose grille euro style 91-93, but i actually prefer the 86-90 4 wide cross bar grille, and of course the second gen dodge ram trucks i love the 94-97 interior but i actually own a 2000 dodge ram laramie slt quad cab long bed 318 magnum V8 46 RH automatic overdrive transmission manual shift transfer case lever on the floor gloss black with most of the white pinstripe 1500 4x4, and i love the first and second gen dodge Dakota trucks I've owned a 90 dodge Dakota SE no 2.2 but it was a 2.5 and a 5spd also black with white pinstripe, and I'm currently trying to find a shop truck project idea im looking to trade my dodge ram for a 68-71/72 Ford sport custom or custom cab trim truck to build it with.
Believe it or not I'm a big GM square body trucks and gm gbody cars and gmt400 trucks fan....
And i love what the giveaway fonding ideas are!!!!!!
Back in the 1980s we screwed together a '65 Comet with a 428 (built up similar to the way a 427 would be equipped). The car was definitely never intended for an FE mill, and certainly not for one that powerful. Hit the loud pedal in that thing and it would try to go 11 different directions all at the same time. And when it finally DID get traction, you better hold on to somethin...
Wild man.
So, I'm sitting at my desk detailing a 1:25 Ford 427 that I'm swapping into a model of a 1969 F100 and this video comes on. What a convenient reference. Thank you, Evan.
I love it Ford power forever baby keep on pulling the knot out of them bow ties great video great truck love all the old Ford trucks and cars
WOW! Decades ago I owned a 57 Ford Custom 300 with a 427 ( FE ) . This truck is incredible. Hope to buy one ticket
That is so cool. I've got a '67 with a slightly built 390 in it and that throws me back in 1st and 2nd pretty good but cant imagine what kind of whiplash that 427 would give me.
Top notch rebuild on that beauty.. Love the 427. I rebuilt my 76 F100 then replaced the stock 351 with a Keith Craft 421 ci stroked Windsor, (w/hyd roller cam) made 558 hp 540 lbft. @6500 w/C6. Quite an exhilarating street truck...
Btw, RIP to Keith Craft the greatest FE engine builder ever!
Man thats one badass 427 FE powered F100 brother, Imagine the 427 SOHC 2V Cammer V8 in that old F100.
@@bigboreracing356 i wouldn't Call the 427 SOHC a POS Engine, C'mon No Prep Stretch, there's plenty of POS Engines out there, and the 427 SOHC isn't one of them. The Chains breaking wasn't an issue, it was keeping the timing accurate between both Cylinder Heads.
I like the redrilled rotors and axle shafts to the car pattern to accept the Magnum 500 wheels.
Nice detail.
Those wheels look great on all the old Fords.
Nothing better. Mopar wheels from the 68-70 Charger were the best for a pickup, 15x7flat disc brakes for the front is great on the Twin I Beam and 15x8s with the dish out looked great. Cragar S/S we’re also.
True...cougar and stang especially. They are like the rallye wheels chevy had only fords version
My Dad had one of these (same color, but a long bed) but with a 302, it was a 3 speed. Great truck, it was very easy to maneuver and control even in the winter. Who would have thought they would be worth so much now?
Pickups are horrible in slippery weather like vans, no weight on the rear. (2wd).
My step father had the same thing a red 72 long bed F100 302 3 on the tree he bought new. He bought the Ford to replace a beautiful all black 67 Chevy half ton with a 327.
I had a 67 F100 6cyl 3 speed plain as plain gets. In 1981 I had a 69 Galaxie 4 dr that the frame had rusted in two. It had the premium fuel 2V engine a 390and a C6. It was still in great shape and I put a set of truck headers and 2.5 pipes back and out in front of the back wheels. Did not want to break my back changing the intake, plus it had a 1 inch spacer and the 2V was a 1.33 Venturi the same as the 429 Ford cars stock and rebuilding it I put the 429 kit in it and the 429 power valve, accelerator pump and jets. It ran like it had a 600 cfm 4V a Holley not the junk Autolite 4300, yuk! It would skin those L-60-15s up in smoke with a twitch.
@@jaymarple41 I had a 77 F100, 302 3 speed with open differential. Once got out on sideways on a hill with the truck idling in 1st gear and stood next to the wheel spinning in wet grass. Had horrible Goodyear trackers on it!
Had three of these vintage Fords. Used them for work trucks. One had a 390 4 bl. auto dual exhaust. Then a 71 Mark lll with a 460 and the fastest car I ever owned, a 70 Ranchero Squire with a stock 429 Cobra Jet.
One of my first vehicles I built was a 69 F100 with a 427 with a big in big out Toploader 4 speed, that thing was a blast to drive.
Cool! Mine was a 69 F100 with a mildly built 429 & a C6 auto trans. I wanted the 4-speed, but couldn't find one I could afford.
I liked the commentary on the bench seat. They were actually pretty comfortable from the late 70s up until the 90s considering that a bench was about the only option for pickup seating and some people had to live in their trucks. Of course when the driver was short, the passenger suffered.
I have a '95 Bronco and a '90 Bronco II, bought both because they have the front bench seat option.
Had a 72 . Upgraded interior option . That bench seat was the most comfortable I've ever had on long distances
@@outinthesticks1035 And even with manual steering and brakes they were really nice. I had that 67 F100 and I made my own traction bars that bolted to the leaf springs and a 1/2 spring steel plate from dump truck spring leaf plates and thick round steel tubing with hiem joints that were secured with 1.5 inch steel shank bolts and welded to the frame. The heim balls could rotate all day needed and had grease zirks to keep them turning . Perfect traction, tracking, and no wheel hop at all. A .060 over 390 block with a 428 crank. 422.4 ci and I lightened it up all I could internally. I used 2 Pro-Gram main caps, 1 at 2 and the other at 4 main crossbolted. I used 351C main and cam bearings and lapped them to the fillet radius and used a chainsaw file to deepen the grooves behind the bearings to make more oil to the mains like Grumpy did to his 331 Chevys, they had the same oiling system. Opened up the passeges from the oil pump and drilled the passege bigger to 7/16, and got a set of expansion bits and drilled out the main passage from front to rear and blocked the lifter passages and drilled a .060 hole to each side and did the same for the passage that fed the rocker shafts and tapped them and put loc- tite on them. The 390 rods are the same as the CJ rod except the bolts, I polished them and had the rods peened and 3/8 bolts put in, the new L18 bolts if I remember correctly, the pistons were L 2292 with the dome but light as I could get them and zero balanced it light. Put hose barbs with slits cut at the bottom and tapped so the oil and any air could get down on the oil to the sump and the air out the valley. A big Canton pan and 3/4 inch sump pipe. 9 qts and a M57 HV. It was a screamer.
@@Bbbbad724 mine was just a nice driver , 390 with holly 4 brl ( nice carb , mech secondaries but single inlet , never saw another) three spd manual and 3.00 diff . But damn I wish I still had it . I had a 410 fe to put in but got stupid and sold the truck
@@outinthesticks1035 I had a 240 in mine originally and put a stock 69 Galaxie 390 2V in it while I built the 422. The stupidest thing I’ve ever done is to sell it. I really wish I still had it. I m 62 and blind and there won’t be another one. I have a little vision but I can’t drive.
I love how period correct the engine looks! Awesome ride!
I had a neighbor in 1967 who had a six cylinder ford truck. He put a 427 in it and l only watched him boil the tires a couple of times, but it was a neat little truck!
I have a 1970 long bed 4x4 f100 with a 390 bored .060 over. It had been sitting for 20 years in my Grandpas field, i put a battery in it, poured 3 gallons of gas in it and it fired right off, it blew a bunch of carpet and mouse gunk out of the exhaust and then just purred. It's one of my next projects.
Wow what a fun truck that would be. Power on tap with the 427.
I learned to drive in my papaws 72 f100 a lot like that one but with a 390/ 3 on the tree. It would leave a 1 wheel peel forever. 😂
Fun story, thanks for sharing
EP; Same here my dad had a 390 1969 Ford F100 Ranger....Them 390's were pretty stout and damn tough back in the day !!
I don't think I'd want to haul gravel in that...
I've always thought the FE had a nice sound compared to others. I got a 500hp 361 in my 59 edsel.
Wow... I'd love to see it on the channel.
Yes...bench seats!
“The best music is coming out of the exhaust”… ive been saying that for years
What a great sound
I'm in the middle of building a 468 inch High Riser with with a Dove Tunnel Wedge intake like the truck has....BBM block in the shop for finish hone and is taking forever because of the covid BS backup...mines going in my 65 Galaxie 500 to replace the 427 Low Riser I wore out.
Awesome
Wow beautiful Ford F100! Love that 427!!
That is one BADASS ford 😎 luv them blue ovals!!!!!
Nice truck. I'd upgrade the suspension and brakes myself but still a really nice truck
That motor is perfect in that pick up
I modified a '70 Lincoln 460 engine and put it in a '77 F150 2wd short bed p/u truck
Uncle Jesse never had it so good!
Yes!
Trucks sure has nice idle
No offense to the 427, but a '70 deserves a '70 Boss 429 under its hood to be properly period correct. I met an old guy here at the Father's Day drags in NZ this September, with a great running '65 Ford F100. Thought it was probably ruined by having some shitty chevy in it. Went to look at it in the pits, and my eyes transferred to my brain the sheer joy of 557 inches of Kasse Boss 9-headed, stroked 460 FORD !!
The 460 didn't make it into the truck line until 75, so a FE would be more correct, but personally it would be a 557 no questions asked.
I bought in 1972 a Ford highboy one ton Ranger 4x4 and took the 360 out and put in a corba jet 428 and i Still have the truck and runs fine !! But my 73 GMC 4x4 350 motor with 483+ thousand miles on it and still runs fine !! Carb. , Dist. Water pumps on Both have been replaced But Small block chevy is The King of motors !!! P.S ford has 328+ thousand miles on it !! Its all about taking care of wat u got and Not tearing it up !!
I had a 73 F100 that I transplaned a 410 Maurader engine into when the original 360 shit the bed in 1981. I got the 410 out of an old rolled over maurauder that was in a neighbors grove of trees. Long before anyone knew how valueable they would be. That 410 was flippin fast in that old truck. It was red and white two tone model. Really miss that truck. This vid brought a tear to my eye and a loss of dollars to my wallet as I had to enter the drawing. You just never know.
The Ford FE block was the backbone engine of Fords motor racing program in the 1960s. The FE 427, with the right components and tweaks to its oil galleries, could hold its own against the 426 Hemi in Nascar to the extent that the Boss 429 was not needed anyway. In Le Mans spec it could produce 500 HP at 6500 all day (and night) long. In Nascar spec it was a 750HP motor, good for 6000 racing miles at 7500RPM. They were cheap to rebuild and tuning talent abounded. Hi Performance parts made ny Holman Moody were found in Nascar, drag and sports car racing. Chevs 427 was brittle in comparison.
My dad had a 1971 Camper special that came with a 390. He swapped a 428 pulled from a station wagon, after "having problems" (over rev blow up). That truck would MOOOOOVE.
My uncle built a 1961 Falcon Ranchero with 428 super CJ. Had to put the short block in it and then cut the fender wells to clear the heads
I know a guy that had one in a street truck / tractor pull truck. She was mean Aye-Ef.
Not into trucks but I like that red 1970 Mach 1 that was parked next to the truck!
I like them all.Mustangs are nice, trucks like this are nice.
Either the one of the fly windows has the whistle, or I’m hearing a vacuum leak?
Great truck nonetheless!
wind noise, was driving me nuts.
@@revanevan Yes, that sound is so familiar! My folks had a 1969 Ford Galaxie 500. Same issue with the old windows…
I still remember the pictures I had of a Ford (test driver?) employee driving a one off 1964 F 100 427 4 speed at a drag strip! It said it went 12,20's ! Now there's a F 100 I 'wish' they'd have built! But I love that truck you drove ! ! !
I can’t believe that y’all didn’t notice the belt squealing sound that started after you throttled it the time! Nice looking truck though.
Sounds like a leaky window to me.
Window
What an absolutely gorgeous, beautiful little FORD !!! And it has my favourite engine in it as well, WOW !!!!!!! , I’d love to be able to bring it home to Australia 😎👍
You got that 427 nicely detuned for some semblance of drivability.
Is driving 427 the ultimate experience of Henry Ford spirit ?
Favorite engine in favorite truck!
NICE!
Late 70s I bought a 72 ranger . I don't know the history on it but it had a 410 Fe with three speed manual, suspension mods 3.00 diff . Lord did I love that truck
Had a72 sport custom with a blown 427 medium riser.truck was a blast.
It’s not just a 427 it’s a tunnel port 427 . Look at the intake manifold !
Don't think it's a "tunnel port head engine" look closely. I've owned one of these in the past, it looks to be a "tunnel type" of intake manifold on medium riser heads. Stiil an incredible engine!
P.S., i could be wrong! lol
@@SuperCyclenut It’s either a tunnel port engine or a medium riser with a fossil port manifold ! To me it looks like a tunnel port because of the size and shape of the runner near the head .
@@SuperCyclenut So I could Be wrong also but back in the late 60 s probably 69 I was involved in installing a fossil port manifold on a 67 Shelby 500 and the ports on the manifold narrowed significantly by the head to match the rectangle shape of the 428 head port. Along with the manifold it had full length headers and an Owen ( from Southern California ) full track cam ! It was quite fast until he recked it ( more power than he could handle !…..
@@SuperCyclenut It could be the Trick Flow R- Series tunnel wedge intake, it is available from Summit Racing but it's been on backorder, that would be my guess. If it's an OE intake that's a lot of $$$$$. I wish they could have provided more information.
Beautiful truck, red on black. I pers5would probably prefer black on red but still this is beyond beautiful.
Oh. Yay. I just looked, and as long as you’re not from Quebec, you can enter. Look out Ford pickup, here I come. Pray for me guys.
8:13 Abe said Squirrel 🐿️-y...
Truly the finest F-100 I have ever seen! Thanks Evan! I hope I win it.
That is awesome Evan! I dig that sound coming from that truck!
I have a 1967 f 100 with the 1968 1/2 428 CJ, will start a full rebuild this fall, frame off restore, hasn’t ran for years, 1982 was my last drive in it
I am not a Ford man, but, that is cool as hell!
That truck has 270 A/C. 2 windows down @ 70mph
I ain't going to no place called coffee and cars.
man that was done right. only thing i'd change would be to oem-style tail pipes. sooo cool.
Boy it's already a beautiful truck , but I'm just hoping that shifter on a column is a 3 on a tree or 4 , I love them, shifters
1:06 FORD BABY!
Nothing like hot rodding thru a residential neighborhood to promote your giveaway!
Shoulda mentioned the Thunderbolt was a Fairlane in 64 only..With a 427..
I generally go on the fly with no script so I do tend to forget details sometimes.
@@revanevan Your fine..Keep on doing Fords ..
Nice faux factory build, very mature.
A guy in Pittsburgh has a original 1964 Galaxie wagon with a 427 4 speed.
My Uncle had a 63 or 64 Galaxie Wagon with a Non Original 406 Tripower Set Up, Factory Cast Iron Headers, and a 3-Speed Manual Trans. And i believe it had 4.11,s out Back. It freaking moved for a Station Wagon, I'll never forget that car.
I might have a side oiler in the garage that I’ve had for probably 30 years now. I also might have a Pontiac 421
Wish I had my 76 F100 custom back 4 in floor 360 had for 32 yrs original paint hauled alot of fire wood
Love both the F100 and the Boss 302. It would be a dream to own either one. Unfortunately I never win anything. But someone will be super lucky!
Think positve brother
My Exes Stepfather had that engine in his Jeep CJ5. That thing was damned near unstoppable in the snow and dunes.
I love it
427 baby !!
A long time ago I worked with a guy in the oil field. He had a truck that looked like the body style . It I thing had a 390 with a 3 speed manual and a overdrive... it got pretty good mileage. It was on propane . I wish I had that truck now
That engine is worth a lot of money I know I used to have one. Well a spare one.
Always been a big fan of those wheels!
YUP! Hard to beat a Magnum 500 for coolness!
That is one beautiful pickup.
That's known as a sleeper
I owned a new ‘72 F100 back in the day, but the stock 360 FE was lacking hp and torque. This 427 is badass! Love it, thank you for posting.
I saw a video of a one of one 60's Ford wagon with a 427 and a four speed.
Looking at the intake manifold looks like a 427 Tunnel Port? If so they were putting out around 600hp.
It’s a tunnel wedge intake that was available through the ford muscle parts program
I put a crate ford 5.0 in my 72 f100, what a sleeper.
That idle sounds awesome, nice truck
My dad had a 72 F100 with a 460. Thing was a dinosaur. Not sure which it used more of oil or gas.
Oh yeah i would love to see that one with a TKO world class dual race disc mustang style 5-6spd manual shift transmission
Is that a belt squealing or wind noise? Awesome truck though. Hope I win it. First things I would do would be a ratchet floor shifter and AC. I live in the South, AC is not an option here.
wind noise
R code 427FE sounds heavenly.
Enjoyed!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍
This truck is screaming for a manual
I don't have telegram
Or any social media
Looks like a tunnel port 427
My thoughts exactly - either that or it's a C8AX-9424-A tunnel wedge intake on a 427 medium riser engine
I’m about to put one in 1984 firebird 🤠
Oh....that truck is perfection, tires wheels all of it. Nicely done!
Thanks for not putting some lame azz giant ghetto wheel combo on there. Way to ruin any car or truck
(great way to get pulled over too)
What's the deal with the green battery??? Just kidding. I had to find something to complain about...this thing is too perfect.
IT NEEDS BIG MEATS ON THE REAR!! 😁
That type of AC used to be referred to as 2/55 Evan
260 air 2 windows open....60 mph.
C’mon Evan not resale red, Arrest me Red, y’know. Resale Red has more pink in it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Question. I have a 352 FE engine out of a 65 3/4 ton pickup. Are the standard bore cylinder walls in the 352 thicker than the standard bore walls of the 390? I've heard many parts are interchangeable among the FE engines. If I bore the cylinders in the 352 to 390 specs will the cylinder wall thickness end up being the same as a standard bore 390?
Incredible truck, I love it.
An easy swap - looks good.
Hey, tell Chris, Milo and I said, Hello.
A 427 F100 , short bed with slicks and a C6 with a reverse valve body, 3.70 gears and the low gear 1st gear set. Even an Overdrive Gear Vendors to get it to a 3.25-3.00 cruise. Where would you find a 427 core in the wild?? I have the other stuff to do this. Does anyone know what a 427 block drill bit tests at? Or maybe what vehicle might have enough bore to go out to 4.23? I have a block that goes to a tight 12/64 bit everywhere I could reach through the core plugs. It has the three web reinforcement and a 105 on the front, it seems like good iron. But how do you know? Can you scrape off some iron for analysis?
Is the trans an FMX? A C6 usually holds the gears when shifting manually. Also a C6 is leaving a lot on the table without a reverse manual valve body.
My old man did that to a 74 f100 4x4 in 1977
