64 F100

I am new to the forum as I just purchased a 64 F100. It needs a lot of work and I know there is a lot of information here.

I just got it last Friday and it definitely has the wrong engine in it. I have a 98 Cobra 4.6 engine on a stand that I intend to put in there.

I like the height/stance. Have you looked underneath to see how it was lowered? I have a 64 myself and I haven't been able to find much in the way of aftermarket suspension without going custom or paying for a one-off setup.

You make it sound like it has a Chevy engine in it lol. Welcome to FTE and that is a fine truck. Your progress is astonishing and that Conra motor looks great with the painted valve covers.
