All that fresh paint!! But he pulled it off and did the swap and you can't tell!
I think it was Roger who mentioned putting the 348 in my 82 Z28 also :LOL::LOL: The difference is the 4.6 is still a good motor, Maybe the 348 is too but not for me.:( He's right on the motor swap, a decision had to be mad fast and it well well. One scratch of paint in the engine compartment was the only damage. It was still the best thing I did to the pickup. I was pretty green on the Ls motors at the time and I thought the LS1 was the 5.3, they are not so I have a 5.3, not an LS1.Quote:

Awesome work! How did you match that floor pattern on your filler piece?
Very nice metal work! Did you cut the center part out of another trunk floor for your filler panel? It looks oe!
Thanks falconvan Floor filler is just a section of original floor.Quote:

Crikey!
That's bloody gorgeous!
Times 5! That is sweet! Nice work there..
Color is 2014 Ford Sunset Pearl code D7. Thanks everyone for your comments. The car is going back to the owner now so he can get it wired, exhaust on, glass and running. Probably won't see it for awhile.Quote:

Being back on Crown Vic for awhile now and the body work is pretty well all done. Now working on engine bay. Trying to cover up all the wiring for this 4.6 and there is a lot of it which is being a challenge.Attachment 70934 Attachment 70935 Attachment 70936 Attachment 70937 Attachment 70938
Don't know why the top three are upside down sorry about that.
I feel your pain, I'm doing wiring right now. Looks like you put a lot of work into that air box. Going to be a great looking car.
It's looking really nice and that air box is killer.
Thanks guys. Engine bay is a lot of work.
I agree with the others. Gonna be a beauty for sure.
Your making some serious progress on it, wiring takes forever though. Do you have any pics of the finished body ?
Don't have any yet,it's just in primer. It is leaving again end of month I will take some pic outside before it goes. Hopefully will be back in spring to finish paint.
Panel fabricating all done.Attachment 70950 Attachment 70951 Attachment 70952 Attachment 70953 Attachment 70954
Going to be a really kewl old Ford when it's done! Just curious, is the color on the valve covers what will be on the outside of the car?
The valve covers are the body colour.Quote:

Very cool, going to be a nice car. Really like the body lines on this model.
That is looking awesome!
Thanks guys. It will be nice to get it finished. It has been 5yrs now.
I'm one of THOSE. I'd drive it just as it is.
Plus lights, that is.
That car is gorgeous !!!!
