I like different and those is different the whole entire point to hot rodding and custom rides is to be different who the heck wants the same ole vanilla slab as the next guy if I was to build this today I would have no problem with the eco boost now that the aftermarket has caught up to the platform I here to tell you that little eco boost can flat out rip that being said though nothing beats the sound of a bass thumping big boom stick with some overlap pushrod v8 for life lol
$57000 I bet $80,000 if it had a coyote everyone loves a V8
Which brake and clutch assembly was use on this truck?
Must be nice to order whatever you want – & Build this …
Never heard of windshield rope before, learn something new everyday at Powernation
Waste of money. That truck was worth at least 75k. Most new cars these days out the door goes for that much
Lt is the best i miss him on power nation
Can I ask a question? When putting in the cam. I noticed you guys and most other guys put the cam in after the crank. I was taught to put it in 1st. As it allows you to grip the can and help place it in place. And to add additional assembly oil with the bottom up. Since sliding the cam in wipes the bearing off. It's been probably 30 years since I have done this type of work and my youngest son who is in his early 20s wants to build a 350. Been watching alot of videos and everyone lays in the crank 1st. Is my line of of thinking and the way I was taught out dated. Thank you guys
So the windshield was too short to begin with. Then they cut more off …. ?
Really a V6 what about A Coyote I'm out to
✨👍✨
I was almost afraid that he would announce in front of this crate motor box that it was a Mustang Mach-E power train
Should've put a real engine in it.
Wheels choice is always a matter of personal vision which however greatly influences the entire final look of the vehicle…this beautiful build and curvy cabin deserves modern wide steelies with dog dish hub caps. Not a stock wheel pattern like on a Scion Tc.
I built a 1/25 scale model that looks exactly like this truck, color and all, just not that black hood. It's the Foose model kit
I was surprised by the ecoboost but at least they did not use no bomb ass Chevrolet engine.
As much as I love v-8’s I thought it really cool they did something different, using the v-6 especially being mated to a five speed. Love the coyote, but it has become the common swap along with the LS(for good reasons) so the ecoboost was a little out of the ordinary.
Recently bought a cheap Honda passport from 1987 thing knocks a lot. Ima end up sticking 4 forklift motors that will run the drive gear. It will have 2 speeds. Low and high. No more no less.
The SUV is mint it's just the heart of the beast that needs a transplant.
* I could not do better. * #MuchRespect
That's one clean 55 F100, though for me I would've gone with the 5.0L Coyote V8 instead of the EcoBoost V6 just so I don't have to worry about replacing turbos when they break and plus better sound as well.

16:10 is this normal??Body panels waving in the wind.Nice truck btw!!!
Another eco-boost…..🤢
there is no way the sale covered to cost to build it, bargan!!!! @ $57k
WhistllllllllE !
Those are great pleather door panels
7.3 Godzilla or upgrade those turbos .
Like to dent that bumper. Thanks for the great beginning
Amazing work!Great skillGot a die cast of the 100that looks similar….
Powernation, help me get my '63 F100 going. Be great for content and would love to gain some experience with the professionals.
Im good with the v6, a version of it won LaMans. How much does everyone think this build cost? Parts and labor?
There are some salty people in this comment section 🙄. It's not your truck and you would never have a chance to even drive it. Why do some people care what other people do with their own stuff. Makes no sense to me. At least they saved it from a junkyard or returning back to the earth in the form of iron oxide. I'm not a huge fan of the build myself but I'm not about to get mad about someone else's work or property.
The ecoboost is a awesome engine. Ford has made only a few improvements from the original engine… I have loved my v-8's from ford, but also love my first ecoboost. A 17 Ford Raptor. Love driving it daily still today.
