Welcome!!! What exactly is a 9.1lBBF? And my ears perked up at the mention of a Mark VII...:D

I believe that 9.1 L means 9.1 liters (almost 2x the displacement of most of our engines) and BBF is Big Block Ford

Welcome aboard! Cool deer pics.

I am a bit disappointed, though...I thought the title of this thread was "New owner is HOT" :lol:

Thank you-Thank you-Thank you.No pictures prior to 1978.XOL got everything.We live in Morgans Point Resort-North of Belton and West of Temple.The Lincoln engine was a 557 ci, 13.5 cr Big Block Ford with Kaase P-51 heads,Victor intake with a QFT 1250 dominator carb,Chet Herbert roller cam and Hooker headers.C-6 transmission and a narrowed and braced 8.8 rearend.I think that was the way Ford should have built it.

Maybe I can pick your brain sometime about the hardware you use for the stroker! I have a 460 that I want around the same size just not sure the best route to go:beer: Welcome to the Marauder world!

Hello and welcome to our 'family'....you will always find very useful information here...and if you get to Wimberley, let me know ahead of time and we can meet up.

Does your son live there too? Is this the car with glasspacks on it? I live down below Houston, but my inlaws live up there at Woodland Point near Temple Lake Park. You can see Morgan's Point from their house. My wife and chilluns are up there this weekend.

We're almost neighbors! I work at the Ford house over on the edge of Belton and Temple, and we live about 15mi east of Temple in Zabcikville. A couple of my favorite fishin holes are in Morgans Point, so we will be over there pretty regularly here soon.

I know a little about the BBF and am happy to share,but you should check out -460 Ford.com-
My MM is totally stock and very quiet.
While picking up parts last week,was told about a tech that worked there that had a DTR MM.Couldn't find it in the parking lot.Try again later.

[Spectragod]

Welcome to the board. If I make it down your way, I want to come feed the deer, we can have coffee later. :)

[ITSA 91]
