The spline count depends more on year than anything, when it comes to trucks. Some years were mostly 28 spline, some years were primarily 31...
It has to do with the width of the tranny. Generally speaking, since the SBF is such a narrow engine and usually only has a narrow C4 or manual...
I would think that either shifter would be available... Ford was good about putting granny shifters on some of their hottest cars, so a lowly...
245/60/14s out back, and Grabber spoiler.
Looks bone stock, but it's not. Hooker headers, Lunati cam, Comp valvetrain, Duraspark, 4v Holley, 11" Centerforce, and 4 speed Toploader
There are dozens of vacuum cans for SBF distributors. There is one for a 68 Fairlane 302 that has a single port and is adjustable. Costs the same...

x3 No more points. You'll be better off.
Welcome! There are a bunch of die hard knowledge types here. You are in good hands.
I tell these guys about it every year Frank. Ray goes every year, and Stephen has gone the past two years I believe. My uncle and I have...
Without knowing the cam, I'd start out with 9.5 cast iron heads, or 10.5 aluminum heads. Cam does make a difference, so you would tweak up or down...
You'll need either Maverick specific exhaust manifolds or headers. Also, 289s generally have the water pump hose on the passenger side, compared...

Either yellow or orange. A nice 'poke your eye out' version of either. I voted orange...
