I was wondering if anyone out there runs a 460? There's a guy up the street from me that has a decent looking 1979 F150 Customer for sale... for $650!
Well, then I notice some of the writing on the window - it says "Strong 460." The body is in fair condition. I had a chance to chat with the owner and he said that it runs really good. His main problem is that whenever you start it, it lurches forward, so you have to slam on the brakes.
So, I'm thinking a lot of things. Should I buy this truck, pull the 460 and install my 302 in the truck and just get my money back? How easy would it be to fix that tranny problem? Are there any other items I can pull from this truck to improve mine (I'm pretty sure I saw a power brake booster and that it has disk brakes up front)?
I definitely don't have the time or funds to restore this and my Bronco, so what are your thoughts?
