Figured I would post my little towing friend....a built 408 ci stoker

























It's our family ride and my wife's DD...

 

 

What heads did you use?

 

Glad you made it over to this forum finally! Truck looks good and the motor looks great! 408 is perfect for towing.

 

Stock heads....had the local engine shop clean, port them when they machined out the block.

 

Thanks! I've been a lurker for quite sometime...especially when I had my Jeep SRT8. Love the site

 

How much braking power did the Wilwoods add?

 

It was night and day from the stock brakes. I travel to Colorado a couple of times a year from Tulsa, OK. And I can tell you that I have never had any issues with my brakes i.e. fade or feel when going up Eisenhower pass or the Rockys. This was the first major MOD I did...I would recommend this to anyone with a XL as it is a extremely heavy truck to slow down.

The braking is instant now.

 

nice ford emblem

 

Haha!! I did change some of the lettering fonts around but I did use the Ford one as my template!
