68 F100

Hi folks,
Its been a few years since I posted. Life had kinda got in the way as it does.
My project was put on the back burner after our house burned. I still have my project truck in the works and am hoping to start work again in the coming spring.
I was wondering if anyone has any line or Blueprint drawings of the 1968 F100?
Had an idea to marry the front end of a 68 Shelby Mustang with my F100. The 360 FE for my F100 was half finished being stroked out to a 407 (390 / crank & pistons with 428 connecting rods) when I ran into a problem with the crank. Turns out the internal threads on the front end were damaged and while installing the pistons and turning the crank with a ratchet they let go. everything was turning no problem but I figured my options were to just Helicoil the crank or get another 390 crank. Its a simple fix either way.
Anyway if someone has the blueprint/line drawing i'd appreciate if you could post them here.

Thanks
John

Sounds like an interesting endeavor.

I think a fun question for imagineering is to ask yourself, "What would Carroll Shelby have done with a Bumpside?

Or to be more contemporary, "What would Jack Roush do?
