Well right now mine is jacked up due to bad linkage but it used to be nice, i have another one to put in. any suggestions for an inexpensive top loader because a 5 speed sounds nice =]

 

i've been told to get one out of like a 80's mustang. The only things is you would have to get an adapter. I would probably get it rebuilt to handle the torque our FE's put on a tranny. I'm sure someone with a little more knowledge will chime in and give us some more info.

 

I hope so, me and my dad plan on doing a swap in the summer, and also do you know how much you can bore the 352 block =]. and i also need to find a decent powersteering conversion for my truck. any ideas?

 

I couldn't give you the exact measurements of hand but there is quite a bit of room to go bigger. My 67 has factory p/s. You might be able to get the parts of ff of a truck that has it or get an after market system. LMC, NPD, and Blue Oval Truck Parts are good places to look.

 

Ya i dont have power brakes either. I actually kinda like it....at times. Like when your truck dies....its nice to be able to stop!!!

 

ha true but i had to get used to the fact that i acctually have to press the break in to stop, but its not bad i just know not to be right up on other cars, even though my truck will destroy them =] to much hassle. but yea i just found a tutorial on the whole powerstearing thing so its all good, i found a power breaks one also, all on another site lol.

 

kewl. hey i want to see some pics of this bad boy!

 

Pics of what? the power brakes or my F100 lol

 

What do u think? YOUR TRUCK! lol

 

Ha i know, ill try to get some soon, i dont have a camara but ill steal my GF's so ill try to get them soon

 

Ya I don't have one either but I'll try and get one from my mom's work. We can compare. lol.

 

Ha just to say my interior needs lots of work

 

well fellas believe me i know what yall are going through with your trucks and being in high school. im a senior as well. class of 007 baby. but i lucked out for the past 2.5 years ive been working in engine/machine shops so parts come cheap. that is how i have been able to build the 428 for mine. it is currently not running though i wiped the cam in it the first day i put the engine in it. mine happens to be a 69 f250 4x4 highboy. and man i love this truck so much it has put me through hell as i have done to it and its still strong after 38 years of god knows what. i have been through 5 vehicles since i got my license all bought with my own money. i have been working legally since i was 15. but it builds character rather than having things handed to you. i love stomping kids new vehicles in the dust with what i have bought. i have been wrenching in these old ford all my life so if yall have any questions just shoot. and on the 352 over bore i would not go any more than 060 over with out getting it sonic checked. if i was you i would find a 428 crank and stoke the beast to a 410 or so. that is what i was going to with my 390 bot i found a mirror 105 block and had it sonic checked and took a standard 428 bore so now i have a rompin stompin 428. aluminum holley street dominator intake and 750 cfm holley 4160. medium riser heads off an early 352. dynamax headers. and various other goodies.

Ha nice man, but to say im not much with engines so some of that i didnt get im more of a body man, ive been in school for 3 years taking a body class and might go to college for the technical portion.

 

ya to each his own like me im basically an all around guy when it comes to vehicles. but where im most at home is under the hood. a hate body work but i can do it quite well if i have to.
