I am not trying to put this truck back into service, but make a custom hauler for other projects. I have always loved the Ford cabover design and am making a comfortable rig to haul in. For this I am converting it to power steering and would like to put a power plant in that doesn't require a ton of fabrication to install, and will get beter gas milage. I have considered the 460 in a fuel injected version, but it is something like 7 inches narrower then the 534 and would require custome mounts. That is why I am considering a diesel, as those trucks later on, came with that combo, so finding mounts and other things would be esier. To be honest I also love diesel engines. I got the truck for nothing and the 534 has only 6000 actual miles on it. Does anyone know of a good place to advertise it for sale. Whee would I find interest in that huge beast.
