ugh, that guy again?
i'm surprised you would get hassled that much in the frozen cold north. sounds like some coast state zaniness.
minnesota is not montana

dmv stupidity
Down here you can get a "licensed appraiser" to submit form 6969 to use instead of book value.
Typically someone with a dealers license or insurance agent.
Put the screwdriver of truth away, flop the floor mat back over it, and pretend there isn’t a hole there until you start feeling the floor move under your feet

I'm not a turbo guy, but I watched a local guy get really good at them. He started with those shitty 6.5gm turbos on worn out junkyard Ford's, he used little 4bbl, like the 480 Holley IIRC blow thru.
He also tapped his mechanical fuel pump and ran a boost line to it, so it'd bump fuel pressure under boost. Ymmv
Seeing you pull the rear window makes me feel good about pulling mine and fixing the rust.. hoping/not hoping your windshield frame is rusty too so you can show me how easy/hard that is

M-Block 351M/400 Parts Reference (grantorinosport.org)
edelbrok performer plus 2172 cam ~$250 at jegs with lifters
and some other crower cams - 351C, 351M & 400 - Ford - Camshafts (crower.com)
l1ooks like the crower 15975 is pretty close to the edelbrock, though i about think the smaller 15170 would be the "better" choice for something that is going to spend very little time at 4k+ rpm and a whole bunch of 2500. (based on i know nothing and am looking at numbers that are meaningless to me)
that's also a much further down the road thing so a phone call would certainly be in order. lifters + springs about double the price, plus a timing set, cam should have some decent gains but at a decent cost as well
edit: Crower will PAY YOU $10 to use their recommendation service prior to a camshaft purchase
Edit: edelbrock recommends 1-5/8" header tubes
The next year (1972), when more aggressive emissions controls were implemented and SAE net power measurements were used, the difference between the power output of the 400 and 460 was even narrower: 172 hp @ 4000 rpm (400) vs 212 hp @ 4400 rpm (460).
Comparing maximum torque figures for 1972 (SAE net measurements) shows even more dramatically how close the two engines' power output is: 298 ft lb @ 2200 rpm (400) vs 342 ft lb @ 2800 rpm (460). At its peak torque, the 400 produces almost 90% of the peak torque of the 460, and it does it at less than 80% of the 460's engine speed.
400s have a lot of potential for great torque and decent hp. 4” stroke and good flowing iron heads

Theres alot of power and torque from idle to redline to be found using a set of his pistons to fix quench and raise compression.https://www.tmeyerinc.com/product/piston-set-ford-400/
His facebook has some great build info too but its pretty much buried somewhere before all the aluminum block posts. I found one and gave up. I know theres some more there of non stroker builds, some on youtube as well if memory serves me correct.
I'm confused, I figured this truck would be smog-exempt in WA. Is there something like no smog-check but an inspection to ensure everything is still installed?
There is no more Smog or inspections in WA anywhere as far as I'm aware. but I will be moving to Texas next year and they have an annual inspection that requires things to be there that should be there, seems to be a visual only type deal.
having the "no catalyst" sticker means they don't need to look for cats, that don't exist.
Your truck is old enough that it won’t need an emissions test. Most places just make sure your horn, lights, and brakes are functioning. I doubt most people doing inspections here will give much thought to something of that vintage. Now, a newer deleted diesel would likely give you problems in some areas.
damn that muffler was a hell of a cork, i bet your gonna enjoy some freed up power. thought about putting looser springs in dizzy for a little more freed up power?
For most of those there's a pretty easy starter upgrade to mini gear reduction, spec a starter for a 94 460 AT, $51 on rock auto, probably similar on Amazon
I put them in a couple 78 4spd trucks I had
