Wut in the "Twin I Beam" tarnation is this?

 

Ford TTB swap

 

@Sperrunner .

 

Probably a Midwesterner, needs a truck that big to haul their wife around

 

Here I am, peak Friday threadiness, sitting on a shitter with wifi in the office catching up on this degeneracy.

 

Could be a ride improvement?

 

Pretty sure TTB is notoriously hard to get spring rates decent for but it could be a better ride over a leaf spring solid axle for sure.

 

I need to go film a 50-70 pull

being able to do that in 2nd makes it obnoxiously quick

 

Owner wanted truck to have a matching mullet

 

I need to film mine at sea level, going to the coast in a few days so I might just have to do a full 1-5 pull. It's no slouch

 

1-5 means gears?

I worry for my driveshaft if I get to the top of 3rd

 

Yessir, by the time I'm slamming on it in 5th I'm already nearing 115 tho. So I kinda need room to run down after because it's a truck... doesn't stop so good from above 80. I don't know how your boost control is configured but mine is set to make 5psi below 3000rpm and then above 3k if you're above 70% on the TPS quick spool is configured to make it stand up hard and head for 9psi in less than a second. That's my safety for avoid knocking the rods out of it or putting the driveshaft through the floor. If you don't get above 70% TPS it'll still target 9psi but it won't use quick spool (close the gate 100% with dome pressure) and it'll get there.

 

That's my secret lol I'm NA revving to ~7.3k

 

Damn, what did you do to the top end to handle 7.3k? I raised my limiter to 6k but stopped there, didn't feel right about going higher without a dedicated oil pressure monitor.

 

I run an (unmodified longblock) 2GRFE

 

Ah, those will rev. Cool that it fits in a first gen engine bay with those big heads.

 

Driver Side header was an absolute bastard to get to fit with the Slave cylinder.

I really need to see if the Hydraulic throw out bearings can be easily adapted to the R150
