I forgot to update over on this thread. The plan changed. I'm going to rebuild the one I have in my truck, adn if I need hard parts, use the spare trans for those. Unfortunatly, it had water in it, and will need an overhaul, so the spare trans is goign to be my parts trans. Well, once I get the rebuild kit here.

Yeah. It's seen allot better days. Today, I'm taking the engine apart, see what kind of condition it's in on the inside. I'm thinking maybe I'll sell it. I cant keep it, as I live in an apt. with 3 other people and have nowhere to store it. Soo, I'll report back later on.

LOL slowest motor Ford ever put in a truck. Well at least it's reliable. You'd just have to leave a week before you have to be anywhere.

I don't know if they're the slowest motor, but they are reliable.
