Well, I think everyone will be happy to hear that I have changed my mind about using a chevy motor...I found a 4.6 with trans out of a 96 F150 that I will be using...going fuel injected!!

I do have a question though...does anyone know what needs to be done to the chevy engine cradle to accommodate the Ford motor??

If you use mounts like this 65-79 truck 2wd I think you can make them work. Glad to here you are staying Ford.

fuel injected and slammed. Nice. Good work so far. Keep the pics coming! I'm guessing you're gonna have a fuel cell in the bed?

Thanks for the compliments!
The fuel cell will be under the bed floor between the frame rails behind the axle.

You will never find replacement bedsides for a shortbed. Dennis Carpenter told me they were never made. A shop down here told me the could cut down longbed sides.
