...However I'm a bit underwhelmed by the performance numbers. You could of bought a loaded F250 with a diesel, did a dpf delete and programmer and been running low 13's (even with 35" tires), had a bigger cab, more towing capability, and probably better gas mileage to boot. And there is a good chance you would of spent less money too.
To me (again, personally), there is nothing better sounding than a gasoline fed, spark plug fired, blown V8 (with an exception being made for high winding Italian V12's and V8's
).

I'm just not a diesel guy. I tried, but for me personally, a diesel just doesn't do it for me. The RPM working range and noise is the biggest detractor for me.

Whoa! For that kind of coin I can get a brand new Harley Davidson Street Bob with better acceleration and handling.
I already have an H-D Street Bob, but I don't have a 500 hp F-150.
It is an awesome truck. What kind of mileage do you get after the coversion?
What a concept! I can get my F-150 "fixed" right down the street (60 miles from where I live). I'm thinking about it, but that's as far as it's going to go. I blew my money on the Street Bob.

I really dont think it matters what the OP spent on his truck. He truly has a one of a kind truck and im pretty sure its exactly what he wants. If I had alot of money I would do the same thing in a heart beat.............just because I can.
Thanks for posting up the pics, truly is a beautiful truck.
