I still liked the Slotted D Mags, but the Salt Flat wheels look good on there too.

 

Hey Run4CVR, I'm curious - how did you get around the Passive Anti-theft System on that late-model Ford V8 you swapped in? Are you installing its gauge cluster and key assembly?

[I just re-read the first page and note that you're using a Sullivan carb intake, so no EFI, so no PATS. Never mind. ]

 

Wow, is all I have to say. You are both ambitious and skilled.

 

I am curious as to why you swapped out the EFI for a carb intake. Nice looking build by the way.

 

That is an awesome truck. I love it.

 

The intakes on the 5.4 are big and ugly (about 18 inches high and 18 inches wide ) they just look goofy and with this setup its just impessive looking when the hood is opened. sullivan also builds this intake for injectors and a throttlebody, i was going for simple and fill the engine bay.
Thanks for the compliments
Jeff

 

I got my gauges and panel set up thought I would update everyone heres how it turned out what do you think?



Also got my steering column and steering wheel




I got a rebuilt c-4 trans also just need to get my converter (special build) and I made plates to block all the holes in the firewall



Thanks Jeff

 

The truck is looking good Jeff. I like that steering wheel and liked the way you moved your brake MC, I did something very similar. The panels for you fire wall cleaned it up real nice.
Strong work.

 

Thanks Teddy I think it turned out pretty good
I got the engine cleaned up and painted with my new K&N filter and Demon carb
The C-4 trans painted with the JW bell housing for the 5.4 Modular

Gauges..Nice

 

Gauges look good. What type are they and where from?

 

Classic Instruments Silver Series got them through Kenny's Rod Shop in Boise Idaho
Thanks
Jeff

 

It's all looking really good, I like your gauges and that motor looks super.

 

Tail light install 50 Pontiac
Thanks Jeff

 

Hello everyone I painted my dash and mounted the gauges , *****, and stereo trying to make some progress with the parts I have hope you like the pics.
I'm thinking of puting a power port in where the lighter was and still need to figure out what to put in the other little hole between the right side *****. Mine had a plug there
but I 've seen some pics on google with a throttle T-hamdle there do you guys have any ideas instead of a plug?
thanks
Jeff
