That is some fine work so far. Good Luck!

 

I just picked up a 93 4.6 SOHC with , I think, an AODE auto. Very good price. I wanted to go modern, very reliable. It's out of a Crown Vic. I don't have ECU or its harness or what gets it thru the firewall. Haven't tried the salvage yard yet. Sounds like more guys are going this route. Right now, aftermarket harnesses are big money. I'm doing this project as cheaply as I can without sacrificing quality and using FORD oem as much as possible.

 

Man thats a good looking truck You started with, Ok now I'm going to check out your gallery.

 

Ok I'm back, I normally get lost in the gallerys and cant find my way back.lol The gallerys here are like my personal rabbit hole. You have done some really nice work, keep it up and keep us posted with pictures!

I cant figure out the gallery, so I just put a link of my junk pile in my signature

 

Hey, if ya love F100s and can cut and weld the sky's the limit!

 

Well I love the f100's my welding and cutting skills are getting a little better every time I work on my 53!

Hey nice pulltruck & bike in those pictures too! I ride an 2004 softail standard

 

Anyone buying an EFI engine: make sure you get the ECU and as much of the wiring harness and all the sensors if possible, preferably buy the entire donor car and keep it, or at least all the wiring until you have the engine running. If not it could end up costing you double the engine cost if you have to buy an ECU, sensors and a custom wiring harness.
Also buy the shop manual for the make and model donor car to get the full wiring diagram.

 

Hey Tom,
Nice truck you have there - Must have been someone's project because it looks like they got the body pretty far along. What Mustang II kit did you use?

Ben in Austin

 

Sweet!
I notice a lotta you Ford guys
ride.HDs.

 

It's a kit sold on ebay by Welder Joes. Was $1,600 with shipping. Pretty much a knockoff of the Heidt's Superide.

 

Yeah, I'm considering selling it and buying a Mark Vlll instead, Only paid $300.

 

Yah, one of the problems with trying to get the missing electronics afterwards is that the ECU's are pretty much specific the year, engine/tranny/chassis combo that they came with. Trying to mix and match junkyard finds are a major crapshoot. The aftermarket harnesses call for a specific ECU.

 

That's a really nice truck to start with. Unlike me and a lot of the knuckleheads on this forum....

 

Hey thanks, I look at it like it's a blank canvas.

 

The difference is your canvas is nearly clean,smooth and square, most of us here started with a dirty, stained, holy, and stretched old rag that needed a lot of fixing before the painting could even be started.
