Hello from CT

I just picked up a 58 F100 styleside with a mildly modified 302 and C6 in it. The truck was put together sometime in early 2000. I brought it home about two weeks ago and have been going through it undoing a lot of half *** craftmanship. Im sure this forum will be very helpful as I continue to dive deeper into this thing. Ill post some pix soon

Cheers
Matt

Welcome, Matt. a C6, eh? Have you considered an AOD swap? A C6 robs a bit of power and doesn't have OD, whereas an AOD does. Just a thought. Please post pics, as we all love pics!!
