My buddy has a 78 ford f-150, that is 4x4 and rusty. He bought it for $500 for a beater, trail riding, play in the mud, screw around with truck. Well it has a 400m in it and it got the imfamous main knock. So I tore it down. Well I don't want this to happen again, we are going to put a crank kit in it and have it bored put badger pistons in it, cleveland heads, and it has a summit cam that I had put in it about a month ago, along with a edelbrock streetmaster intake. He never plans to rev it over 5,000 rpm, so will the multi-groove valves be alright for this? Also what oiling mods should I do, I'm running a hydro cam, so should I use any restrictors? ALso, I plan to run the external oil line from the front to the back. Anything else I should know before I put this beast back together? This is my first 335 series engine.
