1994 f350 crew LB

[hoosier]

So I picked up a 94 350 for a tow rig. it was in an accident but he had a paper saying the frame and major components were ok. I pulled the fender, bumper, grille gaurd, door and what was left of the head light. I found the core support bent, and the cab is pushed back in the front. I have a buddy that is a frame specalist and he is going to see if it is fixable. pics to come

Congrats, welcome to the club. Is it an IDI or 460?

 

[hoosier]

460 for now. Going to Save up for the 24v swap, but with 150k on the clock and good service records I think I have time.
Oh and the important part... it is saveable, it will take less than an hour on the rack

 

[jeeper]

I'm still waiting on the pics

I am LOVING my new 460. I doubt I will ever intentionally go back to a diesel.

460 for now. Going to Save up for the 24v swap, but with 150k on the clock and good service records I think I have time.

I don't know why that posted twice

 

[STAG]

Tow rig for what? Thought you were selling the jeep?

 

[Toad]

You got that two tone blue and white one. Good for you. hopefully it works out.

 

[hoosier]

I have a camp trailer, other toys and an 85 Toyota based buggy that I an finishing

 

[STAG]

Gotcha

 

[hoosier]

Sorry about the long absence, but life became very hectic very quickly. It is not slowing down ANY time soon but I did get a minute to sit down in front of the computer. These are Pre-pictures. the frame ended up being bent, but we got it mostly squared back up. I got all the parts jammed (painted on the inside). I got it put back together.

So this is how it sits now. I have driven it for the past 2 days. (not far, I still need the pass side shock mount) it rides just like a 1ton truck but I am unimpressed with the power. Maybe it is the weight difference but my 350 with 300k feels WAY more peppy than this 460 does. I have not put anything behind it yet but not impressed as of yet. I am looking into building a cold air intake for it and redoing the exhaust to help it breath. Maybe a cam swap (big maybe) If anyone has a suggestion please let me know. I thought these things were supposed to be strong on the bottom end. The ODO reads 155577.8 so I would not think it is worn out or at least I would hope not. any ides please let me know.

I have never been a 460 fan. They do okay with heavy towing compared to smaller gas engines but I hate them as anything else.

 

[STAG]

I dig the cab visor though

 

[hoosier]

I think I am going to like the visor but only time will tell. I need to paint that door it drives me nuts.
