1956 F100-Lightning

I just came across a 93 Lightning that was a project for someone and they gave up on it. I am going to use the motor in my 56. Already have an 8.8 Diff in it...Mustang II front end. Planned on using a 351 W and AOD...couldn't pass up the opportunity to put this motor in and it has all the wiring/it's has EFI/Perfect interior.. etc. Anyone done this swap with a Fuel Injected 351W. I want to use the AOD and not the E4OD. Any info will be much appreciated.

Thanks...George

Look at this thread. I think there is another person as well.

The 93 L is a diff setup than that but I have seen pics of the first gen motors in an older one..A magazine had done the write up on one

I got to drive a first generation Lightning a new years ago. Wow.. lot's of fun there! Probably could have bought it reasonably... not sure why I didn't. I think you'll be very happy with that motor!
