1968 Ford F100 performance?

My cousin wants me to race him. I have a 3800 powered grand prix with rocker arms, intake and exhaust mods. He has 68 F100 with the truck version of the 360.

I'm sitting on approx 240hp and 250ish torque and he's got 215hp and 375tq.

However he has a 2 speed auto and I've got a 4 speed. I also make peak HP around 5700 rpm and are 200lb heavier.

I've driven his truck before but never took note of performance.

How exciting.

Hi so i would not given there ages as they are now running fine a race like that with an old engine could destroy it.

Are you sure it has a 2 speed automatic. Stock it should've had a C6.

  • Where can I find a repair manual for a 6 cylinder, 1968 Ford Mustang? Haynes manuals only cover V8's and I haven't heard much good about the Chilton variety. Anyone have any good references for repairing/restoring a 68 mustang with a straight six engine? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
  • 1968 Mustang convertible? I own a a 1968 Mustang convertible with only 75 k miles.It has the original interior, carpet and original engine. I obtained a build sheet and the car is equipped with a 200 six with power steering, light group and a power top. The original radio still work.It also has the turn signals inset into the hood. I'm wanting to convert it to a 289 V8 engine. How difficult is the conversion and by doing this would I destroy the value of the car? I know the six is not the most desirable engine.
  • 1968 Ford Mustang flasher isn't working? Brake lights work like normal, when you turn on either directions blinker that side lights up brighter but doesn't flash it just stays lit up. Does this old of a mustang have a flasher relay that can be replaced or is the "flashing" operated through the actual turn signal switch behind the steering wheel and the whole switch needs to be replaced?
  • How much should I pay for this 1968 ford longbed? It doesn't run, it's my grandpas he wants to sell it to me but he want me to give him a price, hasn't ran in several year, needs a new clutch and other stuff
