'93 F-150 build

[Sparling]

It is probably a good idea to replace your cats at this point anyway, that is a high mileage truck right?

It's got 185k on it right now.

But if I replace the exhaust I'm going with some shorty headers and going dual exhaust, don't have the coin right now so I'm just replacing the muffler since the engine is somewhat of a turd anyways; not that I would want to tear it up with the current transmission. I want this one to last me until after college or until I do a ZF swap.

Bone stock 93 5.0, except the spark plug wires, there's some janky stuff going on there that a PO did but it runs fine so I've never done anything with it.

How shady can spark plug wires get? Seems pretty cut and dried to me.

Somebody played dress up with my distributor with a bunch of different wires and a couple have electrical tape wrapped around them; not sure why.

that truck has two cats inline right? just cut out the first on and leave the second, big improvment

That's what I was thinking, I just need to find some exhaust tube somewhere to use. Is Ed's old stuff at the Dexter house? If nothing's been done with it yet I'll ask him about it.

You are welcome to it if they don't have a need for it.

How much for the headers?

I don't like how my truck can only go ~215 miles on a tank of gas. Since there's really not a way to dramatically increase the fuel efficiency of my engine, I'd like to increase the fuel capacity. I looked online and all I can find is 18 - 19 gallon tanks listed. Has anybody come across a way to increase the capacity to ~30 gallons short of adding the dual tanks that these trucks came factory with? I'd like to have this capacity without switching tanks if possible.

I'm confused, you want to increase the storage capacity but not by replace the existing tank and not by adding an auxiliary tank? How do you expect to do this then?

[JB]

Transfer tank? Bronco tanks are over 30gallon.

That's what I want to do, replace the stock tank with a larger tank, not have a fuel cell in the bed of my truck or have to replace my bed to get dual tanks if at all possible.

[Seth]

4x4 short bed comes with single tank, correct? I think thats the only config that does.

since you are running oversize tires, you prob wont use your stock spare tire carrier, so I would run a larger rear tank. Most aftermarket options are just larger saddle tanks that will prob interfere with your drivetrain.

Larger rear tanks came on broncos, but I seem to remember hearing they are not a direct swap out. aerotank and titan make oversize aftermarket stuff, and some one else I think i saw on one of the stacey bars shows.
