    By the way I have owned well well over a 100 Big Block Ford powered vehicles

    Including Boss9, 427's, 429CJ, 429SCJ, 428, cj, scj, 390's etc My daily drivers for years.

    I still like them a lot but for my picture of a daily driver the Eco is it. I wanted something nobody else would have.

        Been a while..

        Maybe the latest build would more excuse the
        3.5 6 cylinder.

        Hint one: Block.
        What would be the ideal street pickup engine?

                    The longbeds look plenty good. There are some trucks where they made the bed just too damn long, that look kind of awkward. But if the long bed truck isn't one of those, they still look great. I can't do 73-87 chevy shortbeds. I just can't. The bed is simply too short, and once you get an eye for it you probably won't like 'em. Its like the bed is just too close to the same length as the other half of the truck. Needed to be just a hair longer, even to be a "short bed". Also their utility kind of sucks. I've had a 2 shortbeds, and 3 long beds over the years. Give me a long bed all day every day till the end of days. More utility, and they just look better. Although I can't say much about the fords, don't know them as well.

                    Also he can always shorten the bed if it looks too long. Not really a problem for a guy with the money to do all that other stuff he's doing.

                      This build is a 565 cu in twin turbocharged Boss 429.
                      It should make 2000HP with only 20 psi of boost.

                      Parts good for 3000+HP. Does that make the other builds
                      Better? Lol

                      I do have a 600hp big block in another pickup. It about
                      3600lbs.

                      Another F250 pickup with a 213 cubic inch engine.
                      That should run 11's.

                        Box has been shortened to fit the short WB chassis.

                          This truck I call Eco1. It makes 420/532 at the tire.
                          532TQ by 3000 rpm. Trying to get it to hook is another story. Being my daily driver it has to be able to tow 10,000 lb when need arises. (Safely)

                                Wow very awesome stuff... I've got a 63 uni that's getting a coyote. I hope it turns out half as good as your truck.
