High-Miling Trucks
When my 78 F-150 reached the 365,000 Km mark(219,000miles)
My 400 was very tired,It had seen 18 United States,4 Canadian provinces & Numerous Cities.
I decided to swap in a larger/stronger more Torque/HP related
engine.
I ended up putting in a 70-429CJ Torino Engine that just happened to have 200,000+miles on it.
The compression was still great so I replaced the exhaust valve seats,and a couple of valves and put it together.
Now with truck having 265,000 Miles. It purrs like a kitten and has the strength of three tigers.
