Suspension and Engine Swap Everything

Hello Folks,

Been in too many forums over the years but Facebook is terrible in its own way with posts quickly leaving the timeline.

My and my friends have been doing suspension and engine swaps in old vehicles for a while and i want to post here to have the information available to more people for longer.

Here's what we have built
2x Crown vic Front and lincoln Mark 8 Rear swapped Chevy Apaches (1958/59)
2x Crown Vic, S550 Swapped Slicksides, a 65 and 63 longbed, have another one we are starting soon
1x Bread truck cummins swapped Studebaker
1x Jeep Forward Control with a trailblazer driveline and superduty axles
1x 4x4 econoline
1x Ford Coupe Crown vic swapped
1x Hudson Coupe Crown Vic Swapped

Weve Done fabricated installs, kit installs, made weld on kits, and bolt on kits
Made a Mustang electric rack adapter
Made power steering hydraulic fittings
Made motor and trans mounts
Made 14" big brake kits
Made OEM Brembos Fit
Made bolt on gas filler covers
Made weld and bolt on fuel pump rings

The list goes on.

Hoping to share more hear

As soon as I can PM I will ask the site administrators if they would be interested in a Swaps and retrofits forum as they often transcend years
