Newb here. Bought a 1959 F100 with no motor or trans. It's already been lowered with drop axle and monoleaf springs in front, axle flip in rear. I am considering a 4.6 FI Ford from a Crown Vic or Mustang. Has anyone done this swap? Any advice? Thanks, Jim

 

Hi Jim check out link to my 58 with a 5.4 DOHC some of the early pics are gone but the later ones are there

Jeff, does anyone make mounts for this swap? Thanks, Jim

 

I just used 98 Mustang Cobra motor mounts and had a friend of mine set up the mounts off the frame to work with those, but I also have a aftermarket crossmember to build off of. Then we reworked the passenger side header.

I have a 390 in mine I just bought I also found a guy selling one with a 390 on my local craigslist and he sent me pics of his mounts and stuff. I'm currently doing a cab swap, 4 speed install, making motor mounts and fixing some small rust spots pm me and i can give ya my cell if ya wana call or text me about the swap.

 

I just stumbled on to your build. Any chance of getting some of those missing pictures reposted? I'd really like to see your brake linkage set up among other things.

What size tires are you running on those wheels? Looks to be a good fit. Why the narrower wheel on front? Was space an issue?

Is the hub to hub width on the front and rear the same as it was stock or does it vary one way or the other?

Sorry for so many questsions. I'm building a 57 also. I like the looks of your engine, but I had to go with the deal I had. It's a 2011 4.6L and 4 speed automatic out of a totalled Police Crown Vic.

Looking forward to learning more about your build, looks great.
