I'll get there. I bought a Jeep really cheap, and have been spending my money building that out.. Until its "done" (~1 year) I wont start anything that big on the F100.. so I figured I may as well tweak with the 223 a bit more before I yank it.
I have clifford intake/headers.. If i buy a $30 adapter plate, I can run most any 2 bbl carbs on it. Will cost me $60 to fabricate exhaust. If I find a cheap cam I may throw in there too. The engine's only got 40k or so miles on it (maybe 50, i dont really remember). When I yank it, -someone- is going to want it.. it wont hurt to give them something built up a little more.
