261hp is more than enough for a cruiser, i'd prefer to see you put the effort into tidying it up, wiring it properly and getting everything working properly.
Fun little FYI to light those matches you pinch the head of the match between the cardboard with your fingers and pull the match out fast, they last for yonks, those are probably still good
Love that f truck. Don't fold to the pressure, just keep it as it is its super cool. Start trying g to make it fast and you'll never get to the end of it
I put a speet hut speed box in my 65 f100 to make my atock Speedometer work. It works kf gps or a vss signal front the tranny to run a stepper motor to a short cable
Pretty cool doing a NA Barra swap no one really does that but they still make good power and for such an old Ute the power the NA Barra makes is heaps more than what it would’ve made factory with the old motor
Definitely more on the old utes and come on TJ you need one and yes Turbo time this is why I love your channel we get a variety simple the best on TH-cam cheers
Absolutely loving the content. Fantastic to see you young fella’s enjoying the old iron and the bonus of keeping them LHD. Don’t worry about a hair dryer for the F truck, just cruise her now and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
It started so swimmingly, I recon we had motor in in less than a week than than wiring tailshaft fuel lines another week. Than gremlins for 5 weeks trying to make it run 😂 Have also been on 3 trip and building tjs Hilux and my drift car. So hard to say!
Mac how do u boys go about engineering the mods ya do say to the cross member for the bax etc. U do it all yaselves do yas take it somewhere to be certified?
@@macpreston do u document all your work with photos as you go and do u need to have a qualification to do the welding? Not doing it myself man just curious as so many seem to be doing it DIY these days. Maybe abit of this content would be cool for some. Not to much though the bullshits still good to watch. 😂
I thought the ZF 6 speeds were only available on the Turbo and XR8. I understood that the regular cars got the Chinese 5 speed. Could be wrong But.... the ZF was the exclusive HP box for the performance models, from what I read in the mags of the day.
Don’t be a coward. High mount turbo 💕
😂😂 big boosty boi!
This episode was one of my favourites, love the old yank trucks, and yes, you should definitely do a turbo on the Barra.
Cheers mate! Defs been delayed a few weeks thanks to some gremlins 😂
@@macpreston yea the joys of building old cars…. Keep up the great content… 🤙
Must be Wednesday. Definitely would like to see more videos like this added to the roster. Loving the variety and what you boys are doing 👍
Thanks mate! I do froth every genre of cars!
💯💯

Wiring is all finished now probs should have filmed that haha but yeh ur rite brakes probably first!
Yes, most definately would love to see a turbo addition. The ol 4ltr loves a little bit of boost. Great vid BTW.
love watching these backyard rebuild videos, keep up the great work boys. 🤙
I love the fact it was a NA swap. Everyone jumps at the turbo idea but it wasn’t put in for that reason. It’s clean and simple.
Fun little FYI to light those matches you pinch the head of the match between the cardboard with your fingers and pull the match out fast, they last for yonks, those are probably still good
Love the original shed life style! Keen to see more of this!
This is mad. Got an old Mazda 232 on the property that I’ve always wanted to do something with
Always a great day when the boys upload
Gotta be one of your best videos fellas. Brings back the vibe from the old shed life vids
The good old we Duno what we’re doing but let’s make it happen days 😂
@@macpreston damn straight
That old ford is one sick looking truck 👌🏻
Love that f truck. Don't fold to the pressure, just keep it as it is its super cool. Start trying g to make it fast and you'll never get to the end of it
Yeah boys, great choice. I enjoy when people pick things because they are good - Barra is a prime example of that!!
Totally OG Shedlife! Great episode, adds diversity to content and characters. Great work Mac!
I put a speet hut speed box in my 65 f100 to make my atock Speedometer work. It works kf gps or a vss signal front the tranny to run a stepper motor to a short cable
Man thanks for that I’ll defs look into it! Be epic to use stock speedo!
Make sure you do a stand alone transmission cooler to prevent it from milkshaking the fluid
Good tip I have heard this!
@@macpreston the factory cooling system for the zf is shocking.. love the ftruck and your work macca
Agreed I was looking at it thinking that’s a bad idea! Thanks jack 🤙🏼
Would be awesome to see it get a turbo. Sick build
Pretty cool doing a NA Barra swap no one really does that but they still make good power and for such an old Ute the power the NA Barra makes is heaps more than what it would’ve made factory with the old motor
Deff keen to see the two trucks down by the beach and a follow-up on how it's running .
No wasted weekend's in shed life 🤙🏻 Yeeeeeew
Love ya work lads
Heck yeah boys, ive missed this kinda easy going garage work you guys put out! Def keen to see some boosty boys too
what a fun adventure that was. You guys looked so stoked with the start up. Brilliant video gents
Definitely more on the old utes and come on TJ you need one and yes Turbo time this is why I love your channel we get a variety simple the best on TH-cam cheers
Haha the ln106 is kind of old 😂
Gday, that was a super clean engine swap and definitely keen to see a whistle’a get bolted on, top job mate, cheers
What a great combo! Perfect cruiser as is.. Don't turbo it... then you'll need to do brakes and suspension and chassis.... and then?
Sweet episode boys!
Definitely needs some boost 🤙
Big episode this week! HOW GOOD
Ohh f**k yeah ! This is an awesome project. Well done lads
I inherited my great granddad's F100. I love this content!!! Keep it up 👍
This video was sick, Mac you make it look so easy mate, ha ha. Definitely a Wuhan windy boy up in there. Or Garrett with a Wilwood brake kit.
All of the garrets haha
@@macpreston all 35/82R of em’ broski 🐌 🌬️ 💨 🍻
Great episode! A turbo would just top that conversion off! ❤
definitely turn it into a modern classic. Keep as much of the old looks but drivers like a modern car awsome video guys 😎👌
Yip more old US trucks, Awesome vid by the way. Re the turbo, I would see how she goes once tuned, those barras go well at 190 odd kw na.
100% a turbo! Great vid boys
Absolutely loving the content. Fantastic to see you young fella’s enjoying the old iron and the bonus of keeping them LHD. Don’t worry about a hair dryer for the F truck, just cruise her now and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
Thanks rod!
Awesome work, love the none 4x4 content.
Looks sick!! Always wanted to do one of these builds
needs a set of pace maker extractors and high flow cat lol and big nasty turbo
Definitely love to see you turbo it thinking of doing my na xr6 Ute 👍🏾
Thought it might be an interesting conversion!
100% turbo it! subbed
Definitely a turbo episode 🤙🏼
Loved that episode and yes a turbo would suit that beautifuly
More oldie vids boys!
Great vid. I wish I could make full sized cars like you. I only have a small shed, so I'm limited to fabricating small ones. But still its fun
100% keen on more steel bumper content
Turbo!!!!!! Book it in!!!!
Big Turbo baby.!!!!!!!!!
Great job guys but you should have right hand drive swapped it while you were there. Throw a kiilawasp maker on there for more fun
Great video guys! the ford logo is backwards so when you look in the rear view mirror its spelled the right way
True ! Haha
Everybody just wants to see Mac go back to his roots and do a budget bagged minitruck build 🙌
28:13 Don't forget to prefill your oil filters too!!!
Cool video I really enjoy see old trucks 👍🤙
Another awesome video guys, it is very cool to see the cool old trucks.
looks great.
And you can actually drive and enjoy it
Red
Great episode. No waiting. No bullshit
Awesome build guys love the content and yep everything is better with a turbo lol😂
Haha good point 😂
Fg ecu will limit revs if it think it’s in neutral
looking forward to seeing the drift build :P
Turbo all the way. The old school trucks rule
Just a quick one boys, the engine crane can be lifted up by the boom. No need to jack it up without a load. Gotchu 👊🏼
Definitely slap a turbo on it
I'm glad you showed the struggles to get it started. The rest looked to quick and easy! How long did it take ? Rough hours /days ?
2 days , combination of errors haha 😂
It started so swimmingly, I recon we had motor in in less than a week than than wiring tailshaft fuel lines another week. Than gremlins for 5 weeks trying to make it run 😂
Have also been on 3 trip and building tjs Hilux and my drift car. So hard to say!
Muy bueno ,excelente como siempre decime las cajas automaticas cuales son tanto la chevy como la ford?👍
I love the idea, Barra engine in a F-100 that’s awesome dude
You boys crack me up, you get anyone to sponsor your sunny coast safety shoes?(pluggers) and on that I hope they are double plugs.
More videos with the old trucks definitely. Cool as f**k😎
i'm at the 4:20 min mark and loving the edits/music so far :D
Highmount gtx45 with a screamer nice and streetable
Gotta remember it’s na motor 😂 low boost be sweet i recon!
stock fg turbo kit
Dude, when you guys said jiggle hose I was done. Then when I saw the jiggling of the hose in the petrol can......I just cant ! bwahahahahahahahah
For sure a turbo, imagine this making fully sick dose noises
Definitely a turbo
Haha that starting method had me dying😂
😂😂
Would love to see the turbo conversion
Great video. Definitely needs a turbo and brakes. Maybe a set of bags
Long vids are goat

Ya gotta turbo the Barra!
I'm tiny compared to you guys, but please in the next couple of week's see what I register in QLD. XM FALCON UTE with 302 windsor.
Yea turbo. Nothing big. Pulse turbo, upgrade brakes and then can’t wait to see the rest of the build 👌

Yeah, Go turbo Boyz

Drift build!!
How much for the scaffolding tube in the FG ? Asking for a mate. 😁
😅
Awesome guys but yyeehhh…everything needs a turbo😂😜
Mac how do u boys go about engineering the mods ya do say to the cross member for the bax etc. U do it all yaselves do yas take it somewhere to be certified?
Take it to an engineer! Engine swap stuff can be done by procheck Caloundra!

I would whack a turbo on "Grumpy"
Booooooost it boy. Sick dime BAAAAAAAAAAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (hey does make u feel good)
Told ya 😂

that's completely wrong, after they gave the 5 speed the arse they were all 4 or 6 speeds. there are turbo (stronger) and non turbo zf
