- We started this project back in June, and now its on the road! The owner of this truck wanted more power, and a 408 stroker windsor is just the ticket! It makes about 480hp and 510lb.ft. of torque, and its connected to the stock E4OD trans, and has a Holley Super Sniper EFI controlling the engine and a US Shift Quick Shift 2 controlling the transmission. We did have some EMI and RFI issues with the fuel injection system, but some careful wrapping of the harness and moving a few wires around took care of most of it. But most important, whats it like to drive this bad boy? Well with almost 500 horses at the crankshaft, its pretty exciting.

so glad to have this one DONE! thanks for the support guys, and check back soon for the first suspension upgrade on the stepside build!
Next time you build a ford don’t complain so much lol. We get it you don’t like fords 😂
Hey Lawrence I have a 1995 f150 with the 5.8 in it I’m getting my transmission rebuilt soon but while I’m at at I was thinking of upgrading my torque converter. The truck is stock but what would you recommend for it i Daily drive it. I’m just looking for a upgrade and make it feel better.
Can this engine be installed in a 1992 bronco with a factory 302 and e4od tranny?
For someone who doesn't like Fords, you did a great job. Congrats on a successful swap. I liked your homage to Pat T. The reason your wiring didn't measure up to his standards is you didn't have enough pens, pencils, and assorted stuff in your top shirt pocket. All kidding aside, Pat T. is a very talented guy.
I appreciate that!
Good luck with that pos sniper!!! The two happiest days of my life were the day I got my sniper, and the day I took it off!!!
You're a better man than me for not playing around with the SVT cobra at 9:06!
Same!
Man that stroker motor sounds sweet...I love the Pocket Protector Pat plug....😂😂😂
U got that engine bay looking clean!!!!
Great job, thanks for working on a Ford, that 408 sounds really strong.
My favorite mechanic for years I swear, watching him on the projector screen tv back in the day with my pops building rods was the best times.
She definitely gets up and buggies! My buddy has a 05 f150, blew up the 4.6 and had some hack put in a 5.4... The guy seriously zip tied the driver's side fuel rail down because it didn't fit correctly!
Full throttle sounds so good. Nice Job LT the master of trucks.
That pushrod 408 is sounding right, just like god intended!
I’m running the Edelbrock proflo 4 on the blueprint 408 with the same cam profile in my 86 bullnose. Great set up.
Shout out to Pat! Nice, he is the man.
smartest engine guy I know!
@@LawrenceTolman totally agree
Thanks for showing Ford some love!
Nice truck. I can't wait to see what the future brings for this truck.
Thanks, LT. I really enjoyed this build. Thanks for letting us follow along and for providing so many details of what was done.
I use a water spray bottle and lightly missed the plug wires! It works pretty good.
NICE! If adding music to a video weren't so expensive, you would have to put Billy Squire's "The Stroke" as the sound track to this truck's build. "Stroke me, stroke me..."
That truck is so awesome. Good work LT
Finally some ford stuff, i just built as 331 stroker for my 88 hatch turned out great
Looks great and super clean work!
thanks!
@@LawrenceTolman curious if you tried the msd super conductor wires?
I have a 95 Bronco and wanting to get rid of that SDFI so this series was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks and keep it all coming no matter what manufacturer!!
I know your a Chevy man. But so nice to see a ford on here. Hope to see it back soon.
It would be cool to see a drag race against a similar truck with a stock engine. See how much faster it really is.
The stock one goes 0-60 in about 9 secs. Looks like he did it in about 5. Which is almost a Ferrari. 😂
I miss my 93 XL with the 300 I6 4.9, and M5R2 5spd. That truck was unstoppable.
@Lawrence LT Tolman nice work!! Looks like the 408w pulls hard, it had the speedometer buried fast.
DANG I'M JEALOUS...... thanks for the video..
Great job. Truck sounds awesome. Wish we had some mechanics around here , that has the knowledge and as meticulous as you are.
Digging that 93. Enjoyed the heck out of this build. Sounds killer! Like to see it 3 or 4 inches up in the air. Keep em coming!!!
I liked the factory look. But, after seeing what it looks dropped, I’m in love with it…
But I went with the 3 inch’s up….😁
Nice work! It sounds great!
Looks and sounds awesome.
Now this is a cool build. Very tastefully chosen engine choice for such a heavy truck.
Looks great man👍
I like my US Shift tcm. I have one controlling a 4R100.
Cool seeing local guys on this platform, I’m across the lake from you.
You nailed it!
This thing looks great! I worked on a 1994 2wd with 320k miles on it. I had to go through everything on it. These classic fords hold up pretty well for the mileage
Good job thanks for all you do!
Thanks for watching!
Nice work!
My econoline had a 408W and it definitely made it a much better driving experience.
Nice build. I like all the projects but I especially liked this Ford build. I know you’re a GM guy, but the occasional Ford project would be nice for content variety.
Fantastic all around
LT, that is clean build and so today engine bay!! I can see why you're so OCD on keeping it so tidy! I hope you can record the owner's reaction when he picks it up and did a look around on the truck!! Haha. Love the video, man! Looking forward to next video of the step side build! Great content!
That install looks cleaner than factory. Great job. Wanna help me LS swap my CJ7?
Super nice install. Wanna do a blueprint 400 small block install on a 98 OBS chevy next? Short box, already lowered, nice truck, super
clean.
Great Job
Any one else see the green terminator lurking in the background?
Hey LT, I have an 85 C10 long bed looking to swap in a 454 and Turbo 400. I dropped it 6 inches and looking to make it a very healthy street cruiser. I think it would be great content for your channel!
Long bed......no bueno.
Love the ford build im just a gear head that is partial to ford and ive watched you for years on powerblock and actually live in northern utah so kind of cool to see a guy coming to utah that is a well know and great mind for the automotive community
Hey thanks! I know I don’t build very many Fords, but this one was a lot of fun!
@@LawrenceTolman hey all build are cool and fun ive got two one offroad and one competition one is a 1985 nissan 720 4x4 that i have a set of dana 44's to put it on plan is 37's-40's trail rig moab is my goal in a couple years after i get the big engine built for my powerstroke plan for that is 1000hp on fuel alone for sled pull competitions and possibly dyno competitions itll do some racing but main plan is sled pulls
Dang really like the upgrade that you've done to that Fi50. Waiting for the suspension upgrade to be done next time, just subscribed since the beginning of the buildup ....
Gorgeous truck! nice build LT
Thanks 👍
Thank you for the few details throughout the build!
However, the most important aspect is seeing how hard it pulled! As you know anything bone stock sucks except for being grateful in that case bone stock is totally awesome even with a Fseries obdI including the OBDII 302” 5.0 or 351” or 5.8 especially that pile of a big block 460”. 😂
Sounds great and as usual you did a great job executing the project! Klaus
Very cool
That is a clean install. Looks factory. I know you’re not a Ford guy but I hope you get to continue doing the build on this truck
Was just about to comment on that. It certainly is a clean installation. He made it just as I would like a swap made on my car. Approved. 👍
the end is where it's at!!!
I do understand you not wanting to thrash on a customers vehicle, but that's exactly what he's going to do. It's an important test I think to at least go WOT once to check afr. All the same, cool build. I'm in the middle of building a 351 for a fox (408 later), I'll let you know what comes of it.
We did a pull at the end you’ll have to check out
It's emp Electro magnetic pulse and it can cause all kinds of problems the first you will notice is white noise in fm stereo channels
Awesome, I know I’ll probably never find a mechanic that can do what you do in my neck of the woods… wish I can do that to my 95 single xlt obs or find someone who can 😞
A cobra just casually drives by😂
Great work mate. I have a Holley sniper on its way to Australia, i have read alot about main issues people have are RFI.
it was frustrating chasing down all the issues for sure
Induction. Voltage can be induced on unshielded wires.
gotta love burring the speedo!
LT, that is a sweet Ford build! Awesome how you were able to fix all of the quirks with the build. Great attention to detail.
Nice work man! The speedometer must have been broken at the end there!
I never realized how often that I was blasting my big-block powered 91 F-250 up past 100 mph until I got a truck with a speed limiter.
That poor 85 mph speedometer got buried to the stop hundreds (Maybe thousands?) of times over 3 decades, and 600k+ miles.
🙂
Very rare with the single tank
I could swear that looks like a GM dome light .. my dad's 76 Grand Prix had it, or an extremely similar looking one
thumbs up for maxing out eh speedometer :D
it didn't take that long either
You did a fantastic job. I would consider that truck perfect, if it was an extended cab and had a longbed.
Thanks 👍
I recognized the Maverick gas station at 9:38. I've been there a few times.
Got the same truck, but with 5 speed manual and 347 cubic inches
I would love to see your wiring schematic for that truck i am doing the same conversation to a 1989 f150 and like you i want my factory gauges to work
The mustang at the 9:25 and on mark was looking a little pissed off... lol
Looks great how did you get the dash to work well
Needs a turbo😁
In general electrical wiring and fluid carrying hoses, lines should never rum parallel with one another amd should have a minimum space between them.
Niiice!
mine rides on the front bump stops as well, I curious what you can do to fix or help that issue.
It's very similar to RF
Who else saw the green cobra pass by? Lol 🐍
Know this is an old video but been working on a 351w with a sniper efi on it and was curious what the timing table looks like. Have been fighting spark knock on mine while cruising on the highway.
Ive been looking for a swb 90s f-150 with a v-8. My plan is to build a 2wd short box. 351w based stroker and a tko. Street/strip. Its been hard to find a good solid truck.
another question, did you have to wire in back up lamps and the overdrive and starter wires etc? assuming that was easier than what you described
I have a similar setup in my 95 Bronco, which routed did you guys go with as far as a fuel pump?
Good work my friend. What will you recommend to do I have a1991 Ford F-150 it’s has. A 5.8 and I’ll love to have more power ?
Passed by a 4.6L econoline.. nice
I'm going to be putting a U S Shift on a 4R70W, behind a blueprint 408, in a '55 F100. Did you mess with the trans tuning at all? Or leave their calibration? I think it's easier to change the tune on a laptop...
I tweaked it a little using the little controller and it worked pretty good
You look tired, stay fresh king
DON'T use black zip ties on plug wires, the carbon coloring can cause spark jump
You know you wanted to play with that green mustang
i wish I would've noticed it when I was driving, was too busy yapping
It's a supercharged one. Sounds great in person
Is alright... for a FORD...LOL. Just playing, great job LT! Troubleshooting that interference is impressive. Stuff that people generally overlook.
Was that some knock in the higher gears on the WOT pull?
👏👏👏🎉
How did you all the gauges to work properly?
Did you find the self tuning works well or did you have to go in with the holley software and make changes to the fuel mapping? are you using the sniper to control ignition timing?
It worked very well out of the box just by using the initial setup wizards on the handheld controller
I have a 93 that I'm building a 408 stroker for with a holley sniper, what rear end do you have installed in this truck, I'm converting from 3.08 to 3.73 gears and wanna see if this is about how it'll run
Did you have idling issues before you put the terminator super sniper ?
I have a question that's not related to the context of your video have a 2014 Silverado 5.3 200,000 MI new starter do alternator new battery still the voltmeter on the gauge says in between 8 and 14 volts can the ECM cause my problems for this battery charging system to discharge
Are you in Saratoga or Eagle Mountain? I've seen that mustang that passed you before lol
