I put a BM Built C4 trans in my 65 Rancho 289 CU. Engine was built to so I wouldn't over Tach the Motor and Spin Rod Bearings my friends did that with their Chevy's with 4 speeds,they were constantly rebuilding their Engines. My Ranchero always stayed together and I would pick up all their parts.
Truth. My old 83 f100 had a bone stock 302 that i put shorty headers and cheap purple hornies on. I cant begin to tell you how many guys at the shops in town asked if I put a cam in it and were shocked when i told em it was a factory stock engine. It was choppy as hell idling and screamed at wide open. I miss that truck but after 3 water pump leaks i was ready to just let it go to someone who had the time to keep fixing it.
I live in Germany where such conversions are completely forbidden. I celebrate what you did there and the sound is totally awesome. I'm really excited about your truck too because that's exactly where my dream would be. I hope you have a lot of fun with it. all the best Michael
@@robbierob6181Probably a reason for that. They caught a person in a local government in Canada(?) who was putting in speed bumps and other impediments to driving, admitting that doing so was intended to push people away from using personal vehicles in that particular location
You ain't having fun unless you're breaking things! That's what's fun about Hotrodin', 2 steps forward, one step back and learning along the way!!! Love the unique sound!
@@Thecraig909 Dude all the way! I'm doing a small block chevy build similar spec to your Ford. I almost chose Black Widow, but I went with SpinTech instead. Video won't be up for a few months, but checkout my channel in the meantime. Trying my hardest to jump on the YT algorithm!! Thanks man, and keep the greasy side down!!
Was told a neat little trick by an old timer exhaust pro on how to set up an x pipe. First set it up with two straight pipes. Run a string along said pipes. Start your engine, and let it run until the exhaust gets hot. Now look at the string. Where ever it burns is where the exhaust gas pulses are happening. That's where you want to place the x. The truck does sound amazing though!
That's like a NASCAR Truck tribute. Sick af and I love it. The sound is pure gold. Nice work! And you already have the nascar steelies and tires. Slap a number on the doors and you have a bonafide NASTruck.
My 78 f250 sounds like this. 393 Cleveland stroke, 4-1 1-3/4 headers to 3" collector, x pipe to magnaflow mufflers dumped at the diff. Sounds mint and racie just like this truck
Thank you for posting this...I've been looking for the right sound for one of my Ford Trucks...this narrows down a lot for me. The way your truck sounds at 24:44 is INSANE!
Like many automotive youtube junkies this channel has been recommended to me for what seems like years. I never understood all the hullabaloo, but now I get it. That truck is effin bad ass and sounds incredible. I hope it's not hurt too bad.
Deff a huge improvement in sound and I'm sure it gained some performance. I know your frustration. I finished my 94 mustang 331 build, broke it in over two weeks of light driving. Put it on the dyno and on the last pull it started ticking and was down some cylinders. I got lucky and some rockers just backed off. Hopefully you find something easy/ cheap to repair and get that beast back in the road.
Craig, coat the connecting ends in anti-seize and they will come apart much easier(the good copper type). Power flow aircraft exhaust system requires anti-seize be applied after every 100 hour/annual inspection and it works great.
I've always used anti-seize on all (non gasketed) exhaust connections, and hardware. Totally agree that it just makes life simpler when it's time for service of any kind. It makes alignment with movable joints far, far easier as well. Excellent advice.
I'd say I like the tone and rumble that an "H" pipe makes better usually... but damn, that sounded really good! Also, that first part of the video with the flyby was super cinematic and bad ass. Love your content man!
I’ve been watching for quite sometime and seeing this truck progress has made me start on mine and get it running again. 91 model. Love watching this truck and everything you’re doing to it. Keep up the work! I love seeing these videos!!!
I never was a fan of running pipe after the exhaust, especially flows (always felt it gave it a deeper sound) but u have officially changed my mind..best sounding exhaust ive heard in a long time
You need to rubber mount the exhaust system. If its solid mounted to the chassis. First off, it's gonna crack or break any welds. Your motor and trans are on rubber mounts so the exhaust has to be able to move with it. Secondly, if it's solid mounted to the chassis it is gonna be loud. Loud with vibrations through the entire truck. Thats why they call exhaust mounts insulators. If for whatever reason you have to solid mount that system, you can run a flex joint near the front somewhere. It's not going to cure any issues. You're probably still going to have vibration problems as well as cracking. It's just not as prevalent.
This video about sums up the relationship with old cars. Work on it, have the time of your life and then it breaks. Love hate Love the sound, it's jaw dropping!!
@Rejected-From-Eve .Zero those 400m's will pull 6500 lightly built. Need a 4 venturi carb, headers, and some flat top Pistons that are true to the deck of the block. 2venturi heads will flow and make decent power. Especially for cheap. Little port and polish and you can flow decently. Only need a 450-550cfm carb to make big power. Properly tuning the carb is vital to the motor.
It may be a stretch but it would be badass if you could get the truck on this vs that with hoonigan since they do all power level cars! Also the x pipe would have made the super 10s sound a lot better too haha
You can hear the engine burning lean in the top of the gear pulls, but that's a killer sounding pipe system and hopefully you can get it back healthy without too much drama. 👍🏼
@joshmitchamore89 Difficult to describe. The ability to hear it, at least for myself, was hearing engines that were too rich and then developing an ear for too lean. Only way I can think to explain it, although insufficiently is that it sound very hot, dry. No bellow at all, very "zingy". It's more of a pronounced sound when tuning two strokes, like outboards and chainsaws.
Great work! Sounds amazing. My only suggestion would be to cut the ends at a slant that is flush with the bedside. My dad had a 69 F100...I miss that thing so much!
Hell yeah dude. Sounds SICK. Running a 302 with a 268h into shorties with a 3 inch single exhaust blakcwidow angry house wife. I'm absolutely in love with the sound 🤘🤘
Sounds great man. I ruined a good engine due to leaning out once and will never make that mistake again. I run a wide band on everything now as a cheap insurance policy.
Is leaning-out referring to ' fuel injection ' air fuel ratio ? or dose it affect regular carbureted and TBI engine also. My 454cu.in tbi always runs rich. Too rich
@@missingremote4388 It refers to the AFR and can happen with EFI or carb setups. Generally, anything higher than 12.9 at WOT is considered lean. Nitrous and boost setups should be even less.
Awesome fords I have a yard full I rolled my nice 79 bronco so wheeled it to death headers and exhaust has been on 3 or 4 trucks but getting rusty time for a rebuild headers strait pipe with a 90 in front of the tires with echo cans sounds great when the boggers are hucking chunks it's about safety loud pipes save lives
Your open header video is what made me sub to your channel. Watching you build that exhaust system was making me have flashbacks to when I was in charge of the R&D Dept. at Clifford Research now Clifford Performance. You keep breaking stuff and your friends will start calling you Tony Angelo.
@@Thecraig909 As the Late Great Herbert R. Tarlek Jr. used to say No Problemo. Craig you are young enough that you will have to ask your parents or google who that is. When's Franklin going to get his truck done.?
Damn!! That sounds unbelievably good. Dropping a high RPM full roller 351w in a 67 mustang for my brother that I'd love to do this with. But I wanna hear what this would sound like on my 454 bbc!!!
I actually have a similar story! I grew up with my mom driving a 68 chevelle. I took it over in 95 as my first car in high school. I recently built a high rev destroked sac with 11.5:1 compression. I put it in with the old exhaust that sounded awesome with the old motor but the new motor sounded terrible. I have 3” from the collector into an X pipe then ran through a set of jones resonators dumped before the rearend. Sounds great now but not quite as good as yours! You sound like your spinning 9K. I shift at 7,200.
Man that sounds AWESOME!!! I thought before was fine, but this is killer and fits it well. I will be watching the next video on what happened to the motor soon. As always, love the F100 content!
Nice man, it sounds insane!! Hopefully what happened is a simple fix. At least you'll know what to do different next time around. I know it gets old though having to keep digging back into it.
Car icon, pickup truck, greetings to the good American people, I am a car lover, and my car in Saudi Arabia is a GT-R. The most beautiful thing is the sound of the car jumping on the road.
what is nice about a fox body, is that you can buy an xpipe without havinf to fabricate the setup. I had one on mine, and it sounded wicked for just a stock 5.0 ho.
My car doesn't sound quite like this, but it is very close and having true dual exhaust is wonderful with headers! Just needs a manual transmission now. Great work!
That is the greatest sound I have ever heard from anything in my entire life. Like angels screaming. I can’t believe how f#{£!n& good that sounds. Wow. 🙌 Nice work
I remember one of my first work trucks looked exactly like that but bigger stock tires higher off the ground that thing drove and sounded beautiful made you feel more alive and I was a high end valet I drove pretty much everything
It's actually cool how similar this sounds to my F150. (Yours is defiantly better since my engine is still nearly stock though) I've gotten quite a few complements on it.
I just bought a red and white, '73 F100 short bed Ranger xlt. It's a heap, but I started liking F100s because of your truck, that I first saw in 2016. Not even sure how it showed up in my recommended videos, but it was the one where you drive to your high school and revved it. Good luck with the shop. Don't let the Federales get you.
Absolutely not bashing it, love this truck, and i own a 68 f100. I can't help but think aren't you a little worried about the exhaust coming out over heating your rear tires making them go BOOM? Maybe I'm over thinking it, just a thought.
That sounds great! My grandfather was a drag racer and one hell of a mechanic. I asked my grandfather for a few blue prints on 302,351 which I have and on one of his prints was basically the same exhaust you built and his was about 6' long and he said that it was optional for his engines. He passed away a few months ago 😢. I have learned a lot and tricks on Ford's. 1 tip I'll give is to advance the timing on your 302 or 302ho 12°.
Spectacular sound I have an Explorer 96 V8 with F-302 engine, could tell me where to get those exhausts in X and silencers, I searched Ebay and Amazon without success. Until the next video friends
What are you running for a cam? I’ve probably watched this 50x just because I love the sound. I just built the exact same exhaust for my 95 camper special 351. Equal length long tubes, black widow X under the bell housing, widowmakers directly on the back of the X, 2.5” straight to the bed sides. Sounds Trans Am Series and I love it.
This is the most real video on TH-cam. Lol. Can’t even count how many times where I got something new done to my car I’m having the time of my life the car is running amazing and then boom an hour of fun turns into countless hours of fixing it and throwing money at it. That look on your face and that pit in your stomach feeling I’ve lived it brother. Lol. Freakin sucks but that’s racing and is all part of this crazy hobby we love.

Equal length long tubes, black widow X under the bell housing, widowmakers directly on the back of the X, 2.5” straight to the bed sides. Sounds Trans Am Series and I love it.
Had a widow maker 10 on my forg bronco with a 5 speed and absolutely fell in love with how violent a stock ford 302 can really sound
Omg,love tha sound of that exhaust!!!!
Grab some chunks of horse stall mat for the Jack and stands. Should work better than towels.
Enjoyed the video. Thought I’d skip my way through to the end, but ended up watching the whole thing and subscribing.
Actually sounds very similar to my 70 240z. Dig it. Good job man.
My car sounds like that!

This is the most real video on TH-cam. Lol. Can’t even count how many times where I got something new done to my car I’m having the time of my life the car is running amazing and then boom an hour of fun turns into countless hours of fixing it and throwing money at it. That look on your face and that pit in your stomach feeling I’ve lived it brother. Lol. Freakin sucks but that’s racing and is all part of this crazy hobby we love.
