, Congratulations on a great build . Your truck looks absolutely amazing and you were right in the video, she does respond really well , and just so you know i watched that vid 3 times just to hear your truck and get to see it again, it looks that great , Have fun with it, I know your son probably had a lot of fun riding around in your '71 I know I would.

I took it to the dyno today, and she pulled 246 or 264 at the rear wheels. I thought that was nothing, for all that $,$$$ i put into the motor. Who cares it responds very well when i step on it. it burns the tires with out braking, and hands down she is rare with no competition on bumps down here in Mission, Tx.

I have never seen anyone happy with dyno results, you always think you will gelt more than it shows. All that matters is you feel the power!

Hey Ruben!

The engine sure seems powerful in the videos! Based on your discussion with the engine builder, what approximate numbers were you hoping for?

If you were curious to look in to it in detail, I'm sure the dyno results could be explained by the engine experts here on FORDification. If you started a thread in the Engine forum area that included the dyno results and all the specs you have from the engine, you might gain some interesting and useful advice!

Relative to all the work you've put in to your truck, an engine performance issue may be a minor concern. You can always work on the engine with relative ease, if you feel like it down the road. You have the satisfaction of knowing that the major work on your truck is complete (frame/body/interior restoration)! And it's quite a beauty.

Excellent video post as usual Ruben!!!
