My 76 F-150's been at a local shop for a drivetrain swap. Here's my new Blueprint 347 and VintageAir frontrunner, so shiny!

It’s at Caps! Saw that earlier. Theron’s the shit. Looks great

[-]

fiddlythingsATX@reddit (OP)

Hell yeah! They’ve been awesome to work with, and despite not even being done Theron has already earned my business forever.

Hes worked on mine before and I've actually known him from Nebraska where we both used to play in bands 20 years ago. He's been raised in sprint cars and muscle cars. badass musician too. killer looking motor man

My wife's office is right by there too so she always sends me pics of what's in the lot. Made Austin Speed Shops look tame for awhile now

I did same with a 302 but went with the black sniper valve covers.

Congrats!!

I have a blueprint 396 and it is powerful. I've heard the 347 is powerful as well! Enjoy!

Purdy.

Thanks! It’s been a long journey.

[-]

HYPURRDBLNKL@reddit

You're welcome. I've done the project thing. Fun and frustrating at the same time along the way. Have fun, man.

[-]

fiddlythingsATX@reddit (OP)

Yup, this is my second dentside project, the latest in a long string of 70s and 80s projects.

[-]

HYPURRDBLNKL@reddit

I couldn't do multiples, lol. One was enough.

[-]

WileEPyote@reddit

Nice choice on the Sniper. Classic looks, modern driveabilty.

[-]

fiddlythingsATX@reddit (OP)

Blueprint’s stock ones, so good volume heads but a fairly basic cam. Good for around 415hp

[-]

WileEPyote@reddit

It's a truck. That's perfect. Lots of torque.

[-]

Baby_____Shark@reddit

Square body?

[-]

fiddlythingsATX@reddit (OP)

Dentside, 76. Originally had a 360

[-]

Baby_____Shark@reddit

Noice!

[-]

fiddlythingsATX@reddit (OP)

Current state

[-]

Baby_____Shark@reddit

Very cool, I feel silly about my square body comment because I didn't notice the front distributor. Lol

[-]

SergioTapia1@reddit

Is that a victor junior intake?

[-]

fiddlythingsATX@reddit (OP)

It’s Blueprint’s own, which does bear some resemblance

[-]

largos7289@reddit

That's really shinny. Chrome don't get ya home son.

[-]

fiddlythingsATX@reddit (OP)

Neither would the original transmission and motor, sadly.

[-]

MIKE-JET-EATER@reddit

I wish my 69 f250 looked that clean.

[-]

fiddlythingsATX@reddit (OP)

Would love to see a pic!

[-]

MIKE-JET-EATER@reddit

Here's the best pic I got, it looks a little better now because I replaced the driver side inner fender but not much changed.

[-]

fiddlythingsATX@reddit (OP)

Oh and here’s mine before the swap process, not too different

[-]

fiddlythingsATX@reddit (OP)

Looks fine to me, just looks like it actually gets used. I hope mine gets used enough to catch up!

[-]

MIKE-JET-EATER@reddit

Thanks, personally I want to get to the point where I'm not snapping off every bolt, I'm glad to say my truck is still used.

[-]

Everything is…….chrome.

[-]

fiddlythingsATX@reddit (OP)

more than 2x the original hp, and with the new tr4050 I can't wait to see what it can do!

[-]

smthngeneric@reddit

Way too much chrome for me, but I'm sure the truck will be fun regardless haha

[-]

fiddlythingsATX@reddit (OP)

It'll have caked on filth in no time

[-]

jujumber@reddit

Looks badass!
