Description
This is the truck that I traded my Camaro for. Its a 1977 Ford F-250
. With the 400 Modified block ( the toad of the big blocks) gas mileage sucks and has no power. but Im planning to put 460 Ford Long block as soon as I get about 6-9 grand.... Yeah thatll be the day. For now its good enough.

yeah it was a good truck. unfortunatly it was turning into a money pit so it had to leave. now i have this other money pit in a 95 ford f 350 with a big block 460. it might get 10 mpg going down hill with a strong tail wind

I dunno , the 400 can be a performer if you do the right things to it. Theres been a recent surge in aftermarket stuff for the 400's and remember the 400 is based upon the all powerful 351 cleveland. No engine at all made power in the mid seventies.(the whole non computer smog engine era) Also that is very awesome truck

thanks for the comment. Yeah I think Im just going to keep the same size, but I think Im going to get a crate engine. That way I can just swap it out and keep the parts that are still good

I like your new(old) truck, such old cars have charisma and the most new ones are uncharismatic. With the gas mileage are these trucks unfortunately unaffordable in Germany....the gas is in Germany twice expensive as in America.
I have a old and ugly Volkswagen Golf 3...

My car has a gas mileage of nearly 12 litre per 100 kilometer(100 kilometer = 62.5 miles) These 62,5 miles cost approximately $19 gas. The year of manufacture is 1995 and the Golf has only 75hp. In addition I have to pay $350 tax and $1400 assurance per year. Germany is expensive...
