This is the last pic I have of the Origin before I started on the 460/MAF swap on it 8 years ago. It's a 94 F-150 that now has tons, hydro assist, 5.38s, air lockers, 203/205 with a triple stick conversion, 3 link front, 4 link rear, long bed wheel base with a bobbed long bed to a short bed length, Vortech supercharger, Flowmasters and a old set of 44" Boggers. It's in the way in the shop and instead of just dragging it outside I'm putting in some work to at least get it running. I learned a lot building this and it needs a lot more work to get it where bbn I want, but I need to hear this thing run. I need to at least make some progress on it so that I stop feeling guilty when I look at it. Plus the engine came out of a running parts truck so it shouldn't take that long.

One thing that is killing me is that my OBS doesn't get the time and love that it deserves. I wish I had the time and budget that the V10 does to spend on it, but I don't. Hopefully someday it'll get the lovin' out deserves, but I'm really excited to hear this 460 come back to life, the Vortech make boost again in over 10 years, and hear my inner teenager get excited over an old school big block going through a 40 series Flowmaster!
When you finish with the V10, you will have this project to fall back on while you enjoy tooling around in the V10
It won't be unfortunately... it needs about $15k to finish and that isn't in the cards this year. Plus I need to finish my gooseneck, press brake and house projects first. I also need to assemble my CNC plasma table. This will hopefully be a next winter project if all goes right. But it will at least run and not need to be pushed around the property when it gets in the way.
I really wish I could, but I'm not in a financial position to. The good part is that with a long block the truck will almost be ready to go to work. More to come soon, but cutting my losses isn't an option right now.
I'm bidding on a complete 06 F-250 now with 225k miles. Plan would be to get that, drop in that engine, get the truck on the road and build my V10 for boost. Then part the donor truck out to try recoup the price of the truck.
