New Guy From Iowa
Hello From the Corn Patch,
I'm new to the forum but not to Fords. I have owned several 74-79 F-150's and a 67 Ford Galaxie 500. My current project isa 1975 F-150 that I have owned for 20 years, It was my dads daily driver for a long time , When I became a teenager it turned into a father/son project. We swapped out the 302 for a 400m out of a 70's Merc. converted it to Electronic Ign. Made a custom grill out of cold rolled steel and set it up with 4 square headlights. We went to lots of car shows with it but eventually It got parked in the garage and became a dust collector. It sat for about 10 years and now Im ready to get it back on the road. The first plan of action is to pull the 400m out which is seized from sitting and install the mildly built 400m out of my 67 ford 500, (A project that is being discontinued due to frame rot) I hope to swap the motors in the next week or two and will take pictures of my progress as time allows. Im toying with the idea of making it a 4 wheel drive this time around so Im sure I will have lots of questions to ask. Sorry for the long winded intro heres a teaser pic.
