1996 E-SuperDuty Bus

Been a while since I posted about anything (guess my Ford trucks have been too dependable) but I bought a 96 Shuttle bus today as a new project. It's going to be my enclosed Cobra replica Hauler. 460 powered. I'll attempt to post pictures when I pick it up later in the week. Should be a fun project and I may need a few suggestions and opinions. Until today I didn't realize that Ford built an E-SuperDuty in 1996.

Cool stuff dude!

What's in that Cobra. motor wise? Who made the original kit?

Your shuttle bus will make a great hauler. I'm guessing you'll modify the floor and rear to allow loading and securing during transport?

351 Cleveland in the old CMC kit I built around 1990.
Yes, I'll modify the floor and rear section.

Anyone know which Dana rear this thing has? According to the door tag, the ratio is 4.63.

I need a good steering wheel with cruise control switches and an instrument cluster. Anyone know what if any other model interchanges?
