i will be fixing all my wiring and putting them into one big harness with connectors and going to pull the engine out over the next winter and beff up the frame cause i dought it will handle 500rwhp for to long and when i do that it will get the t4 kit and a s366xl turbo to support the fuel

That is sweet, thanks also. Looks to me like a new firewall was built for room? Am I right on what I see? That is what I thought would have to be done if it is..

Cool, I didn't know there would be enough room back there for the turbo.

I would really like to see the photos in the first post but cannot. Are there any links to the photos elsewhere. I am considering using a 95 PSD in my 77 F150, and engine/tranny swap sounds a lot better than a cab swap like others have suggested. My truck is 2wd so the frame is totally different but any pics would be very helpful.
