Thumbs up New here!

Hey all, I came from another Ford truck site (fte.com) and well their constant server problems on my end and a jerk admin named Ken (that would keep harassing me via email) made me come over here.

Anyway...I roll in my F-150 from time to time. It's an '88 ECSB, 302/AOD, XLT Lariat. Has pretty much every bolt-on available:

1. Hooker Long Tubes - 3" Carsound Cat - Magnaflow muffler
2. Built AOD - TransGo shift kit - Mustang WOT shift governor
3. BBK Fuel Pressure Regulator - New pumps/senders in boxes
4. ASP 3 piece Underdrive Pulley set - 130A alt - No Smog pump
5. FMS MAF Kit - ported '94 MAF with 89-93 electronics - FIPK
6. MSD 6AL - TFI Coil - FMS yellow 9mm wires - NGK UR44 plugs
7. Goodyear Hoses - Flow Kooler water pump - 180* thermo
8. Pioneer Premier 720 HU - PPI A200 amp - Polk DX speakers

I have a set of electric fans going on over Thanksgiving (as long as weather holds) and a big 200A alternator too! Then I plan to swap out my leaky power steering pump and hoses also. About three months ago I rebuilt the topend myself and all turned out well except my cam timing is off by a tooth...so I got a slight lope at idle! hahaha.

Also...in the spring I am getting the truck custom tuned via a wideband O2 by a buddy of mine. At that time I am going to get my Eaton posi and FMS 4.10:1 gears installed. I've had them for almost a year now!

Soon I need to install new springs and shocks, and install a set of Earl's stainless lines I still have in the box too. Probably Edelbrock IAS shocks, new replacment springs, 2" rear drop, Hellwig swaybars. I am thinking on running a 302 HO w/ GT-40 irons and a 214/220 cam while I begin gathering parts for a lil 408 w/ AFR-185 heads.

I have some pics I need to get hosted and let you guys check out my parts and stuff!

Glad to be here!

Nope never have...it's a tad quicker than my Z71. So I'd assume around low 16 sec, high 15 sec area. It's also got a 2200rpm stall converter too.
