Sorry been busy no time to post..I want to keep it streetable and use as long haul cruiser..
So there will be no radical motor..Been tossing idea of a twin turbo EFI 302..Everyone puts big motors in, that suck gas down, I want to keep it at 20 MPG
...
thanks for all cudo's on truck..the major factor in me buying this truck was that the front clip was cut off and a 87 vette front end was welded on ..Not to metion the Ford 9 inch sitting under a C notched frame..
At the moment front end is dissasembled and sway bar,A-arm's along with spindles and some other goodies are at powder coaters getting a coat of saftey yellow..i will post some pics when I get parts..I will be adding red poly bushings and new uper lower ball joints tierod ends and rack boots..Should look good when done..

Havent posted in a while so I figured I would add some if anyone cares.
Looks like the motor isnt a true 5.0HO someone just slapped and intake on it..
Why they would go through all this trouble is beyond me?
Anyway Front end is completed and I am up and cruising.
I located A True 5.0HO out of a Mark 7 and wanted to know if anyone here knows if its possible just to slapp this motor in and turn the key?
Or do I need a computer and Harness..Both motors are Speed Density.
Thanks in advance.

the h.o has a different firing order. I can't remember which, somebody else will have to chime in on that, there are 2 wires you have to switch. then you'll need a rear sump oil pan for the H.O and you should be good to go!
