If you are doing this in a bump you will need to notch the frame.

67-72 Ford pickup. Got the name from the protrusion along the side of the body. 73-79 are dents. Is a flipped solid axle your final rear configuration?

here's my 70. Got it a few months ago. Floor of bed is rusty and the rear of the passenger bedside is full of bondo. I would like to find another bed but they are hard to find around here.

I may be able to get it as close as Ohio next year. The reason I ask about the rear end is once you notch it you are pretty much stuck with replacing the frame if you want to do the IRS later. Well unless you rebuild the area you are about to remove. Take a look at JG F100 for his thread. I think he flipped an explorer axle in his.

Is the 96 CV rear end the same as the 97 that everyone is using? I found a 96 I can get pretty cheap

elgemcdlf, could you post a pic of your engine mounts? I dont understand how you did yours. I have looked at several and thay all look like good ideas, but am always looking for a better way. Mine will also have a winsdor in it.

Thanks,
Jeff

I have spent hours and hours researching this swap, and dont understand why the 03 up front end will fit, but the 03 up rearend is to wide. They must be the same width. I would be grateful for any help. I will be using 05 up mustang bullitt wheels on mine, I have read they have the same offset as the org. crown vic wheels

I thought the problem was that the pumpkin was off center on the newer rears.
