Adding 268 MORE horsepower to a '93 F-150: Engine Swap Pt.1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ต.ค. 2024
- We're kicking off a new phase of this project truck: it's a 1993 Ford F-150 SIngle Cab Short Box, and right now its powered by a 200hp 351w V8. At 5.8 liters, this ford was powerful in 1993, but it's nowhere enough for what the owner wants to do with it today. This is going to be an off road centered "prerunner" style build with long travel suspension, superduty axles, and a whole lot more power. Were ADDING 268 MORE horsepower to this truck, which will bring the total to 468hp and 507 lb.ft. which should make this thing scoot in a hurry. That means a new engine is going in place, but the question is which one? Of course, the LS is a popular choice, but we want to keep this thing all Ford, but we need some more cubes and more power.

It's so hot in there, the orange line around the walls is coming off!
yeah, its a vinyl sticker and the adhesive just isnt having it
Has been for the last few videos!
Get one of those portable A/C units with the exhaust hose. And drape a sun shade of some sort on the outside of that wall.
Time for a Mr cool mini split. Plug it into the welder 220 circuit or wire an extra circuit
They don't leak. That's pre engineered frame oiling. Prevents rust.
Pioneered by Dodge, perfected by Chevy.
@@idriwzrd good old Chevy it'll run like shit longer than most will run
One of my favorite features
Bullnose platform fords do that to ensure the oil gets changed.
You were 100%on point when you said about the painting, I was just going to put FI on my bullnose, now I have a powder coated frame and all suspension parts a 408 stroker , Monster trans, 4:11 Detroit locker w/31 spline axels. 🤦🏻it never ends, can’t wait to see the rest of the build . Keep up the great work 🇺🇸
Gotta love the OBS F150 brother. I have a 1996 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 with 209,000 miles and still going strong.
I had a '93 F150 with a 300 I6 and M5R2 manual trans. Same body style but 2 wheel drive.
I sold that truck nearly 5 years ago with just shy of 750,000 miles on it.
I miss that truck
Back when they hadn’t started the cab forward design and you could pull an engine no problem
A lot of hard sweaty work. Well done. A great Father’s Day treat to see it. Still can’t believe you do all this stuff One handed.
LT,,,, you tha MAN!!! Yankin that hood off like a boss! You made look as easy as removing a T-top 🤣
haha... was just on the edge of not being able to reach it
His back must be good still
If you want to make it an obs “raptor” why would you go solid front axle instead of the ttb which is praised as the best way to get long travel 4wd ?
Yeah, companies like Giant Motorsports have systems that are very serious, nearly Tropy Truck levels of performance for attainable prices.
4:29 nice form.
You need an engine leveler. Good ones aren't real cheap, but completely worth it if you're pulling motors. Actually, what's your shipping address? I'm not big on patreon, but wouldn't hesitate to send you a useful tool.
4:30. Color me impressed. I've always used a buddy to remove hoods. I never wanted to risk messing up the paint. Next time I'll do it like this. 👍
I was barely on the edge of not being able to lift it off lol... but I highly recommend using a silicone rubber piece where the corners touch the cowling to protect the paint.
Ok, you got it off. Now put it back on by your self. And make sure the body lines are perfect while you are there.😆😆😆😆😆😆👿🌚
I have a standard sniper and I can't speak highly enough about it. I absolutely love mine. I'm not traditionally a Ford guy, but that truck is going to be a runner!
I've loved the Holley stuff I've done so far
I have the Terminator x on my big block Ford and I love it, if an idiot like me can install it and tune it anyone can.
LT, I live in Houston and spend a LOT of time in my garage. This year I spent the money and had the walls spray foam insulated and had AC installed. It was expensive, but worth every penny!
I've never heard anyone besides me say OBS Ford Raptor . YES!
Gotta love a OBS FORD! This is a dream build!
Oooo a BPE motor. Big mini split would be a good call for the garage
Same engine in my 95 f150 4x4..351w. I rebuilt it with a bump in compression to 10.1 and a small .477 lift cam. I ended up haven't to swap from speed density to mass air flow. That small cam made I big difference.
Mr. Cool or one of the other mini split heat pump vendors should set you up and then some of us viewers may thank them with some purchases!
Good to see you didn’t do the engine hoist squat-press when that OSHA inspector was watching you from the cab!
Most impressive part was the one man hood removal. Makes my back hurt just watching!
408 stroker. Nice. I love this project.
I’m thinking the exhaust he built for it is way undersized now
@@droppedf100 Ya would have 2.5" duel exhaust or 3". Plus look nice straight the back 15 degree cut off tips. I have two of them. Maybe I'll send them. Future project build.
When i pulled the 351 out of an F250 i had i started disconnecting all the wires to the engine then saw the same connector you pointed out... it was my first time pulling an engine out, i did all the prep work the night before then rented an engine picker and had it out in just 2 hours with the help of my brother and made it back to the rental place before they closed at noon (weekend)... i got rid of that truck cause i didnt need it anymore and we wanted the 351 for my dads 94 mustang... now i have a 94 short bed single cab that im building the inline 300 for... got the hole front end pulled off and i will end up rewiring the whole truck to make it work the way that i want it to...
Looks like a fun project LT. Thanks for the video.
Good to see you on a build again!
YES MY ALL TIME FAVORITE CHASSIS BY FAR
408 with a Sniper nice I want to see your take on them
Hey LT, invest into one of those portable 3,100 CFM/950 sq ft. coolers. I have two in my shop here in the southwest as well and it makes all the difference. Just crack open that garage door for some air flow and you're set. I maintain 85F with a nice airflow in the shop. Couple $$$ investment, SOOO worth it though.
Loved the feet on the bumper to get the engine loose!
This is going to be badass! I test drove a k3500 with a 468 last week as I am shopping for a hot rod/Jeep tow rig…
I have the same truck, stock, so I'm looking forward to seeing this build
I love this project #1 it's a FORD # 2 I I like the pre runner off road raptor style theme!
A good mini split AC/heat unit would be the ticket for your garage - super efficient & extremely quiet for your video making !
126👍's up LT thanks for taking us all along with you
Hi LT good project going here. Good choice on the 408. I work at Blueprint Engines at one of the dyno cells. They are good power makers. Been watching the powerblock on TV as long or longer then you. Lol. Since Joe and Chuck on Horsepower TV on the TNN network. Lol. Gonna keep watching this build.
hey thanks for watching!
Who pulls a motor by themselves ? Good job 👍. You remind me of me when I was a lot younger. Love the video, thanks.
If the original lightning was built for off road...this would be it.
My friend had a pre runner Gen 1 lightning. Worked great off road
Twin traction beam is great for a prerunner type build.
Forgot about the OBS Ford. Man you know how to pick great projects
that's cool LT.
Those E4OD torque converters get hot, and the pilot snout you're referring to swells, and gets stuck in the crank. They can certainly be a bear to bust loose. Put a little anti seize on it, when you go back together. Whoever has to go back into it in the future, will thank you greatly.
Hey LT,
Throw some blow-in insulation between the stud bays on that garage wall. It should mitigate temps pretty well. Then you could get a small mini-split heat pump just for the garage. You’ll have air conditioning or heat. Just make sure the unit can operate during the winter temps of your climate. Hope you are well, love the channel.
Great video man! I'm working with 5.0 Flareside for now. Doing what I can to build power with headers, injectors, smog delete but eventually want a crate coyote. The computer is what I need to learn about. I want to keep functionality of the cruise and all my options and make more power if I can.
Add some insulation and a mini-split to that garage! There are some DIY packages out there for not much money. Some blown in fiberglass might keep the inside of the west wall moderated a bit…
the insulation by itself would likely make a huge difference
Very cool video. You made quick work of that engine! Looking forward to watching the progress.
Split unit.... DIY and easy. Just feed it with 220v power. Insulate the ceiling and garage doors. Way cooler.
@Lawrence LT Tolman would the old 351W be for sale?
You should tell the owner to leave the twin traction beams. Companies like solo motorsports make long travel kits for old 4wd fords. It would keep inline with a raptor style baja build
For future reference, Stinger perfomance has a plug and play computer for the ford eec4 that these use. It uses mega squirt efi and will control the factory overdrive transmission. Boost compatibility and fairly easy to use .
Awesome LT! I've always wanted a shortbed OBS Ford to make a mean muscle truck out of! But an offroader would be just as fun. Someday... Someday... haha.. Thanks for the videos, I watch every single one
Make sure that's the correct timing cover for the reverse rotation water pump. Usually the engine dowel pins is what causes the problem.
Another good project, I'm looking forward to the build!
Cool build. I'm digging the Ford.
Pretty cool bro.
Thank you 🙏
Excellent episode 👏
You can order a sun shade sail that takes 15min to install if you want shade on that wall
The 14 bolt with a backbone truss would be killer under this!
Nothing wrong with the Stirling 10.25/10.5 or a Dana 80 either.
Good job on the removal. Currently doing similar in my 88 F150
I have a 1997 F250HD XL 351w ZF-5 S47 RCLB 2wd 3.55s...I desperately want to build it into something interesting...something nobody is really doing. I would love to go long travel twin I beam "Prerunner" baja, baby trophy truck style. Build a 393/408/418/427ci stroker, not sure if I want to go carburetor or something like Holley EFI. I live in an area with no emissions thankfully. Been checking out companies like Giant Motorsports suspension systems. Would like to do as much fabrication myself as possible since I am not very wealthy and have plenty of time as a retired Army vet. Thus build is giving me lots of inspiration...thanks 😊
I wish my 94 is as clean as this truck!!
Watching it in fast forward, it looks like the engine slammed into the radiator. LOL
You really need to paint the frame and stuff even if it’s just a rust oleum spay paint!! What better time then now to paint what you can! If I were the owner I would care what it looked like when spending that kind of money and that truck is slick already!
I'm thinking that since you work alone you really need a small gantry crane that fits in your garage but helps with things like bed and hood removal and even the occasional engine.
8:05 has me in tears
Beautiful truck
I absolutely need I mean need 1000-HP in my work van! Hey do a shade structure of some type next to garage. I did it over my driveway and it changed the way we use our home. No insulation in the walls either. Just by keeping the sun off the wall and concrete
That's a heavy Hood I've done that before it kind of sucks it's harder putting it back
Hey LT. Have you heard from Host Mike Galley from Power Nation. Did he have a parting of the ways with PN around the same time you left????
Very happy to see the f150 build. This year is mainly what I work on but all lowered 2wd trucks.
Now why did you do a small single exhaust for a near 500hp motor? My motor makes about the same in my f150 and I run 1 3/4 longtubes and dual 2.5” exhaust with an x pipe and I feel I should be running dual 3” honestly
Love this gonna be bad as hell!
Sweet build, you'll probably need to swap timing covers. They are different for standard rotation water pumps and reverse rotation like on that stock engine
Another Utah man I see. Would recommend Man Cave Automotive Maintenance and Repair.
94 added a mass air flow
What? No Coyote swap? About time people got back to putting something other than that in there project.
just some old school cool windsor power
This is super interesting because I’m in the process of this as well only with a carb’ed 302 with small cam and GT40 heads. Currently trying to figure out how to get the Quick 2 trans controller to work correctly with the E40D
You should put a cut out valve for the exhaust on the turbo 8.1 👍
My favorite part of my '93 is using R12 refrigerant.
Is it a lot cooler? My 95 has r134a and it’s all stock components but has been recharged and it works good. Had it on yesterday and it cooled me off rather quickly
@@droppedf100 lol it's cold for sure. Comment was a little tongue-in-cheek. I don't appreciate compressor failure and having to source more R12 when R134a is less than 5 bucks a can at Walmart.
R134 conversion doesn't cut it in Texas. Looking to swap to a 94+ system to take advantage of ease moving forward.
That hood removal tho 😳
New sub from me! Good stuff man
I wish I was close, I'd like to swap to a full floater 14 bolt.
Good way to mess u your back ! Hope you have a great Father's day
I need that engine lol but love the content!! Keep up the good work my man!! 🤟
I just inherited a 96 f150 with a blown motor and trans whats an affordable engine to replace the stock 5,0 with? dont say straight six this is gonna be a sleeper farm truck so what should i slap in it?
I have two main questions, question number one is what you're going to do about the fuel system. I have a mild Big block in my F350 and tried to reuse the stock EFI fuel system and it can't seem to keep up and I'm only making somewhere around 320 horse.
My second question is why the owner went with TBI instead of a multi-port setup since you're already investing in aftermarket EFI anyway? I know the small block Fords have a good selection of really good flowing fuel injected intakes and it seems like multiport is a far superior system to throttle body injection for efficiency and cylinder to cylinder distribution. As far as I'm aware when I bought my Terminator x system it was the same exact price as the sniper setup but I could be wrong, it's been quite a while now.
Check out James Duff suspension parts. It is what I used on my 94 SAS f-150. Nice parts. Like the build, can’t wait for the finished product!
Wondering doing any upgrades on a E4OD 4 speed or it's manual ? Meaning shift kits ?
Now, is this your truck or are you doing this for a customer? If it’s a customer’s, then how much are you charging to do all this?
Do you have a business license or you just “working on your buddy’s trucks”. Been wanting to start a small fabrication shop out of the garage.
I would advise against it unless you want to keep it pretty small scale. One wrong move and youll get a huge fine from the EPA and ARB
Very interesting project. Do you plan to keep the factory instrument panel? If so, looking forward to seeing how to make things play nice with Holley system.
Cool, to be continued I guess
Looking forward to it should be swoit as.
hows that truck so clean?
spent its whole live down in Nevada somewhere
Where did the motor come from? Cost?
That gunk and grease will keep it from rusting. Lol
I will be glued to this build. I have a 96 bronco I've been wanting to do more changes on. Are you going to be running the stock trans?
yes we are, for now. it will get swapped in stage 2 of the build when we do the suspension
Sweet!! Saving the Day!!
who is the manufacturer of the step you use?
If you’re building a pre-runner why are you doing a solid axle swap? It already has the dana 44 TTB and there’s multiple kits available with 18+ inches of travel off the shelf. Unless you’re wanting to build a multipurpose vehicle that can rock crawl and go fast in the desert.
Giant Motorsports has some slick TTB and Twin I beam kits.
Trucks were still flat tappet, let me know if that factory 5.8 will be for sale
This is a 93, the 94-97 blocks had hydraulic roller provisions even if they were flat tappet equipped.
Hot? Hell it's 116 in Phoenix today. It isn't hot till 120. That's when I complain. Lol
Lol my dad did that with his 48 ford it only had like 70 horse power he fixed it by yanking out the old flatty and stuffing in a Buick 333 nail head driving the hp to 220hp even with the old Rochester 4bbl it flew by everything and surprisingly even gas stations too
