Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷 if you use the harmonic damper for the F150 1996 (only 96 model) it will have a location for a reluctor wheel for crank speed sensor on the back, and you could upgrade the pulleys to the Poli-V style also. Good Luck 😉
I know over in Brazil things have to be customized in order to make it last. Props to you guys for doing your very best to make everything work with what you got.
A hybrid head build! I’ve been building stove bolts for over 2 decades. One of the biggest mods was running SBC heads cut and welded together. This is amazing to see someone continuing this work. It’s an amazing difference in power. Keep up the good work! Leo Santicci would be proud
I’m in that part of a build right now where all the math has been done and now I’m waiting on pistons, rods, machining, tranny in the mail, gear vendor on the way, I’m literally chomping on the bit and watching these videos to satiate myself. I have a few projects but everything is takin forever right now.
I'm really impressed can't wait to see this thing run wrenching on the stock ones for years they're tough motors can't wait to see what it does with the LS cylinder head 🇺🇲
Man. Back in the late 90’s I was doing all the Clifford upgrades I could do. Including 350 Chevy valves in the head. This is next level. Been wanting to get another 300 to play with and would love to talk if that day ever comes. So much tech can be added to these engines now. Keep up great work!
awesome project, i love how neat and clean your project is , i have been a fan of the FORD 300 SIX, since the 1st time i saw the Ambrose & Argenta comp eliminator alterd run at the 2001 U.S. nats, keep up the good work sir!
Very cool. I've always thought about how the number one thing that makes American straight sixes total slugs, is the horrible cylinder head design. I've had a true crossflow hemi head design in mind for years now. This is really interesting. I'd like to know what kind of power it makes once you get it running.
Awesome! Awesome awesome awesome. My dad had a 83 econoline with the 300 and it was the best work truck/van engine ever. We got 500,000 miles out of it and it was still going but the damn van rotted out around it. LS heads on that engine is a game changer I think can’t wait to see what it does. I have been going back and forth one what engine I am going to go save to do a diy build as a hobby or something fun to work on and everyone does LS engines which are cheap plentiful ect. But I was raised a ford guy and being different is what I am all about so what better than doing 300 six build! I’m definitely getting one after watching your videos. I’m inspired for real. 👍🏻
Being a Ford guy and the fact i wanted to keep my 65 F100 an I6 engine but wanted a modern one i didnt have any but 1 Ford option and that was an Aussie Barra/zf6 auto. I went back n forth with the 2J, BMW and the Atlas 4200 but decided to stay Ford bit the bullet and ordered one. Its different for sure with ‘18 mustang IRS and ‘10 CV front suspension i cant wait to get the 2010 Falcon gauge cluster mounted since its nearly the exact same size as the stock truck cluster
Super cool build my only suggestion is add a flex section to the wastegate tube or it will crack. The down pipe and the wastegate pipe will will not expand and contract at the same rate.
Pretty rad. Probably should test before you plumb boost but still rad. I'm not even gonna comment on your metalwork because that's a lot of pieces to put together. It looks alright. Nice work. Plus if I'm seeing it you must be getting blessed by the algorithm. All hail the algorithm.
This is so cool. I always wanted to chop off the 3rd and 6th cylinder on a couple LS heads to fit on my Vortec V6 and make a custom intake manifold etc.
Cool, I can't wait to see it running.ive been a Ford man all my life and I have had Ford trucks because they are so good for working.I have a 97 power stroke I have had for over 25 years now and she still runs as strong as it ever has keep going I can't wait to see it you are done 👍✅👍
Just a thougt, check if the angle wich the throtlle body is connected to the plenum chamber, is not leaning out/overcharging the cylinders directly in front. My gess is if you check the 2nd the 1st and the 3rd cylinders will run leaner than the others.
Put the crank sensor on the inside of the belt next to the alternator. I did this on my Datsun EFI conversion to avoid the belt issues you're describing. 😉
Man, this is so awesome, I love off the wall stuff. I'm building a 35hp vanguard briggs with a gt15 and a 4 wheeler go kart hybrid dune buggy with a yamaha vmax 1200 on my other channel directions not included . I'm not promoting it as I only have a couple shorts, just saying I really do love this stuff too, and love what you are doin here.
So many people love the Ford i300. Honestly it's the only ford motor I'd put into my chevy truck! This LS head might actually be worth a custom forged/cnc head and to be in a kit!
Oh man, you got me goin now. I have been wanting do do this for a while. I chatted a bit with the frenchtown flyer about the ls heads. What about using shared 60° gm coil packs and then hooking them to the cylinder that matches the firing order?
Keep the bottom pulley as is. Move the WP pulley out or get a shorter one to line up with the outer groove. Then move the alt to match. This will give a little more room for the turbo inlet. The turbo inlet is going to need help.
Good for to take on a project like this. I always thought that 1 of the big 3 factory. Should have made a 350 ci straight 6 4 valve. Na and turbo as and option
I run my crank wheel on the front of my Balancer I haven't had to move it when changing belts I have v belts also on a 1995 22re on E85 20 psi !! It's spiking running Away at higher rpms so sometimes 26 psi running micro squirt it's been 20 thousand miles over the last 6 years !!
Man I'm really excited to see this thing run.
SAAAAAME
Yep
Same here
Same !!
Yep ME to

Convert to the serp belt pulleys, and relocate the alternator. I like it. You are flying through this project. Good job
I agree with custom pulley. I've made many a pulley over the years.
I’m in that part of a build right now where all the math has been done and now I’m waiting on pistons, rods, machining, tranny in the mail, gear vendor on the way, I’m literally chomping on the bit and watching these videos to satiate myself. I have a few projects but everything is takin forever right now.
I have been stoked about this since I saw the video of you building the cylinder head, can’t wait!
Been following this build. Very curious to see the power it makes.
Me too!
Me 3 !!! 🙂👍🏻
me 4
Seen one similar with 2 Cleveland heads cut up I think they said it was 600 I bet if he gets this tuned right it could be crazy
I'm really impressed can't wait to see this thing run wrenching on the stock ones for years they're tough motors can't wait to see what it does with the LS cylinder head 🇺🇲
Hope it continues to be a tough motor
Nice work. Considering the FoMoCo iron head makes decent hp, and diesel like torque with boost, this combo should be quite potent.
I decided to open youtube and do a search for this and before I started to type I seen it was at the top of the videos! Lol. Thanx for the update.
Looking forward to this running. 300 ford bottom end is solid, now the top end can breath. This is going to be awesome
the aussie ford BARRA 4.0s are DOHC aluminum heads and evolved from the same family of ford I6s IIRC
@@snoofayy6150 The Barra is more than likely based off the ford "car six" whereas the 300 is based off the ford "truck six" different designs.
Based off the 250 six most likely. I would love to have a Barra, but near impossible to get here

I'm not a ford 300 i6 fan. But this is true hot rodding and that's enough to make it interesting to follow the build.
Thanks I appreciate it!
Honestly the more you research this engine the more impressive it is .....
True hot rodding. Looking forward to seeing it run. Hope it works out well

Stumbled across the video.... cool concept and impressive to see it made real
Pure Awesomeness! Can't wait to see what this combo can do.
Lol I just want you to know, there’s a ton of supporters behind you. This build is for everyone now 🖤🖤🖤
Can't wait to see this baby fire up, lot of clever work gone into this. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride.
I like this, that engine looks like a clean factory design. I want to hear it breathe.
Thanks for the update. I was telling my buddy about the franken-head you built for this the other day. Keep posting!
I too, am super excited to hear this beast run!!!
I cant wait to see this this running. I always liked the food inline6 motors
Very cool. I've always thought about how the number one thing that makes American straight sixes total slugs, is the horrible cylinder head design.

I'm working on a 351 Cleveland head on a Jeep 2.5. after that I want to weld two heads together for the top of a stroked 4.0 Jeep engine.
@@jamesford2942 hell yes. now you're talking
I would really like a cylinder head like this. I love the 300,

hell yeah brother! the 300's biggest shortcoming was running out of breath, the new head should fix that.
Super cool build my only suggestion is add a flex section to the wastegate tube or it will crack. The down pipe and the wastegate pipe will will not expand and contract at the same rate.
Yes i like your engin krank stine.keep the build going.well done.
Such an awesome project. I have seen some really oddball projects but this one is seriously impressive especially for a homebrew project 👏
Thank you!

That thing is going to fuckin rip one hell of a nice build 👌👍💪🇺🇸☝️
This is excellent. Keep going. True hotrodding!

Bore space is the same it would work
@@Pistonranch Yep exactly. Some day I'll buy a couple cheap LS heads and do it.
I've been itching to find this! You've immediately earned a subscriber.
Nice collection of parts.
Badass dude I can't wait to see that I have an 88 Ford F-150 with the straight six and a five-speed it's a dude awesome
neat project guy, hope to see it run, good luck guy.
That's a really cool project brother! I love seeing oddball part configurations like this. It takes some smarts to make it work!
Thanks!
Man this is cool. The jeep 4.0 I6 would be sick with this head. Great work brother. I love it.
Oh Boy! . . . Getting close. This is exciting.
Super sick project man been following for a bit can’t wait to see it run
This has got to be the coolest thing on you tube. Very cool! Definately cant wait to hear it run and dyno numbers
Cool, I can't wait to see it running.ive been a Ford man all my life and I have had Ford trucks because they are so good for working.I have a 97 power stroke I have had for over 25 years now and she still runs as strong as it ever has keep going I can't wait to see it you are done 👍✅👍

Anxious to see the thing on the dyno....🤩✨
Super dope!!! Can't wait to see this thing going!!!

Crazy but awesome Frankenstein build
Epic I luv l6 engines I was gonna do the sbc heads on a 250 but now I moved on to the 2jz l6, I bet you make 300hp all motor.🍻🍻🍻🍻
I want to hear this thing run!!! Cant wait
This is awesome! I Can’t wait to see it run.

Sounds like cool projects, thanks!
F'en cool. Waiting patiently for the first fire up video. Should be a beast with a better flowing head..
This gonna be sweet when it's done. Plenty of torque and bragging rights for a lifetime.
Sure hope so!
Just badass man can't wait to see what it does
Definitely something to be excited about! Neat!
Hang in there Man ! This is cool as hell , it will turn out to be worth all the frustration.....
Looking forward to watch it running. 👌😎👍

Steve Morris!
@@neilstuart9727 He actually made this into a kit?
No but he takes block Of aluminum and makes his own engines and cylinder heads
Love this build. Keep it up! Posting to a group I moderate on FB.
Can't wait to see what power it makes
Oh man, you got me goin now. I have been wanting do do this for a while. I chatted a bit with the frenchtown flyer about the ls heads.

Great to see an update on this
So close. Can't wait. Looking sweet. 😆
Awesome! Can't wait to see it run.
Wow! Hey I subscribed really excited to see it run!!!!
This build is awesome 👌 👏 👍
Greatest build on TH-cam! Other than the ls headed 351 Windsor
Thanks!
I like it. Looks good. Be interesting to hear it run.
So badass! My only first glance is you might want a good baffle/breather on that valve cover for crankcase pressure?
There are two one inch pipe holes in the side cover for breathers
@@Pistonranch oh right on I didn’t see them
Keep the bottom pulley as is. Move the WP pulley out or get a shorter one to line up with the outer groove. Then move the alt to match. This will give a little more room for the turbo inlet. The turbo inlet is going to need help.
Looks great 👍 hell yea love it !!! Ready to hear it running!!
Good for to take on a project like this. I always thought that 1 of the big 3 factory. Should have made a 350 ci straight 6 4 valve. Na and turbo as and option
Love this project!!!
Can’t wait to see it run.
can not wait to see this thing on the dyno. these engines are bomb proof. with a good head this thing is going to make killer power. >:)
I sure hope so!
Sir I'm very interested in your build !!! Please keep posted because you may have stumbled on a great power address kit for the old 300 ci
Coming along nicely.just looking at the size of that waste gate you could run into problems controlling boost levels?
We will see I guess
Awesome build
Been following for a while. I was hoping to see it N/A. The turbo will steal attention from the cool head swap.
There is another guy doing a na combo on TH-cam
Awesome. Want to see it run
Looks good have you thought about just spacing out the water pump pulley and alternator
Ended up using a double rib water pump pulley off a sbf. I appreciate the thought!
Making great progress! Great video!
I run my crank wheel on the front of my Balancer I haven't had to move it when changing belts I have v belts also on a 1995 22re on E85 20 psi !! It's spiking running Away at higher rpms so sometimes 26 psi running micro squirt it's been 20 thousand miles over the last 6 years !!
I cannot wait to see this run! The only thing that holds the 300 back is the head
I agree
Left field build love it
I can not wait to see this run
Awesome! Turning out great
The engine gona be a beast 💪
The coolest i6 300 I’ve ever seen
this thing is sweet
That is cool. I hope you make a ton of power.
Thanks!
Hyped, can't wait to see it run
Really interested in this, great work
Get a fan spacer and cut it down to the distance you need then use it to space the WP pulley forward to match the balancer.
Looking forward to see it runing it looks really promising
This is turning out pretty cool. Keep posting
Any earl estimate of what you might expect for horsepower? Awesome job.....electric water pump possible?
I hope for 2hp per cubic inch
Easy fix for your balancer, just get a double belt pully for the water pump? Can't wait until you have it running 👍
