Howdy!

How y'all doing out in Ford country?I've been at the old ford thing for awhile,now,alot of stumbling around at the junkyards trying to get stuff to fit and not hit,if you know what I mean.My current driver/projects include my 66 short/wide and my80 fairmont wagon.I'm on my way in the morning to look at a totaled 95 stang with a 3.8 and 5 speed fer a fuel efficient swap.maybe a little bit of nitrous,wink wink.By the way the 66 is stroked and poked 390,428 crank and rods and interceptor cam,with a grain truck 4 speed.Yeah,it snaps u-joints an yokes at 5 gs. my idle project is a 95 lightning in the middle of a mass air conversion(I may part with a coughchevycough 427 for an injected 460)while I'mat it.... This site rocks!!!!

Hi and welcome Dick, always pretty good in Ford country.
I've been into the old Ford thing for years too and love going thru the junkyards.
You have some nice driver/projects with the 66 stroked 390/428 crank and rods, the same as in my 67 Mustang fastback.
The 95 Lightning is a sweet ride as well.
Be sure to drop into your local IL chapter soon: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum122/
