The most important part of any old truck build.

Not new big disk brakes and modern suspension up front or nice new coilovers with a 4 link in the rear. No, it is the beer can radiator overflow tank.

#1 thing...... that humongous cam noise ........

Yeah, that one is way up the list. I have swapped cams twice in the last 2 years looking for that perfect, “Is it going to die at idle?” cam sound.

even when running right, those inline 6 always got a clitter clatter going on.......

i usually cheat, and find out where the heads i’m using peak out on flow(stock), and find a cam with right about that much lift.... then i’m REAL honest with myself on how i’m going to use the truck.....(rpms, gears and all that) and then i try and get a lobe separation for the type of trans/intake runner length.....(mines been around 110 on v8s) and then duration usually in the 280ish range.

headers ought to give you some quality sound..... along with some big tube exhaust....... but the downside, is that 300 fords are more torque oriented engines. so small tubes would make more torque......

that looks like it will be a fun little truck when youre finished

I have had about as much fun as I will have with the old 300. I have already bought the 2jz that will replace it. But I have loved the torque this thing puts out. I might build the 300 after it is out, a turbo engine perhaps.

i’ve been told, that opening up(replacing) the intake to either a single 4, or 2 2bbl REALLY wakes them up....... that 2jz ought to give it some nice upper rpm pep.
