Fords At Carlisle: Fuel-Injected ‘53 Pickup
By Jen Dunnaway
Editor
Dan Lee’s 1953 Ford pickup is a real standout for the work that’s gone into it, and for the sheer variety of sources for its parts. The motor is out of a ‘79 Ford truck, bored and stroked to 434 inches. It’s running Ford Australia heads and gets 10.8:1 compression over the stock engine’s 8:1. A 5.0L Mustang computer governs its fuel injection. Dan originally bought the truck in Riverside, CA—it’s made quite a journey, in more ways than one, to get to the point where it is today. Awesome work, Dan!
