South Central Kansas | I bought a 1982 Ford F-700 4WD truck with a Rotomix feed box and it has a 370 engine with 7:1 compression ratio. it's a pretty good truck but the engine is weak, but it works okay for what we need.
I had never heard of a 370 before and when I go to the auto parts places, they usually look at me with a quizzical look when I give them the engine info. Sometimes they have to dig around in the old catalogues to even find what I want.
I understand that this engine was used only in trucks and is the same block at the 429-460-514 engines.
If I got this engine rebuilt would raising the compression ratio make it run better? Any other thoughts on this engine.
First Ford I have ever owned, I bought it for the feed box and the fact that is was a 4WD.
Thanks for the help. | |
