Just got back from the engine builder's after seeing my engine run on the dyno. Here is where I break into my happy dance. After what seems like a long time, the engine project is done. I will pick it up Monday.

That engine sounds good. What was the rpm band for that particular dyno pull?

Ted I believe that Tony ran the engine from 2500 to 6000 (it may have been 5800 or 5900). If you listen close you can hear that has a little plateau before heading on up to 6000. The horsepower numbers were the same for carb and the EFI but the torque number were a little better with the EFI. The comupter only has a few runs on it so it is still in learning mode. Cold start up was just what you would expect from an EFI system. I was thinking that the Isky Y-280-11 cam would have given a more lumpy idle than it has. Also the engine exhaust is running through 2 1/2" tubing and out some Flow Master 40s. I think this will be a very good engine for the '56 F-100.

Charlie, I am using Edlebrock's Throttle Body EFI (P/N 36000). It was real easy to set up. Only took about 90 minutes total.

I picked up my engine on Monday and put in the truck. Not actually bolted between the frame rails but strapped down in the bed. So I have a transverse mounted rear engine Ford F-100.

Great Job! I didn't see numbers though?
Can you post a Vid of that happy dance?
