Default Mississippi new guy

Hey guys, figured I would introduce myself here. My name is Grant, LOVE trucks, just can't stand the lifted ones haha. I am currently trying to rebuild my motor, possibly over a period of time so that I can get a little more power from it. I have posted in the internal forum, so hopefully some of you Ford Wizkids can help me out!

Nice to see someone pretty local. I have a 72 f100 that I am currently working on. The motor is the trouble right now. I will post a couple slide shows in the ford section to make viewing easier if you care to look. I have everything external off, and also the main caps/bearings. Just need to pull the rod caps/bearings, crank, pistons, cams, freezy plugs, galley plugs, and it's off to the machine shop for some love. I am sort of confused on what it needs done, and how much it's going to cost though. So I am a little hesitant on things.
