Well, as the "self-appointed pic police chief" I've been cited by my self-appointed deputy (34-40 aka Mike) with this comment: "But now it's your turn!! I hear stories of pickups getting re-powered and maybe suspension upgrades.. and wasn't there a 36 Ford??? HMmmm.. maybe we should cite you for withholding evidence??"

I guess it's time I do this money-mouth.jpg



First, Mike, it's a '37 (in my avatar) that's patiently waiting on the next move while my truck gets a little extra attention.

Now, this is the '66 Ford F100 that is the topic of this thread.



Yes, Uncle Bob, it still needs to be lowered!


It still has the stock 352FE/cruiseomatic (with a couple of small changes - Edelbrock intake/carb, Pertronix II ignition, Hedman Hedders) with a Dana 44 limited slip rear end


It's my daily driver. The old FE is getting a little tired, using some oil, smoking a bit and has always been a major gas hog. Thus, it's time for some changes.....

Enter donor car:
A totalled '92 Mustang GT convertible, 5.0/AOD with 62K original miles verified by insurance company.


I bought the engine, trans, all wiring, computer, etc in an attempt to make this swap as easy as possible:


Now, the goal is to get everything figured out and sorta pre-fit in advance so HOPEFULLY this swap can be completed in a few days.....because, like I said, this truck is my daily driver and I need it!

Ok, I don't want to overload the first post so.....more to come in the next one.....
