. I see a nice donor power train for the F100 hooked to the trailer in the pic.

unfortunately the donor belonged to the guy I got the truck from, he offered to deliver it to me. would be cool though

I had a 1970 F250----------its in some secenes in a few movies and race footage-------I put a 1969 Lincoln 460/c6 in it-many Ford engineers, Goodyear peeps,etc saw it at races and around different happenings-----Ford then finally made factory
option in 1973, ---

So-------if its an FE? 390?????? would be a good transplant to the mstang and get a Lincoln for the truck------

Welcome---------but one question----where in central Florida????????

[emeraldcoupe]

the truck is a 360, c6, ps, pb, factory air. it sat for about 20 years before I got it. put a fresh set of plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and a set of points in it, fired right up. the trans is bad though.

i'm, in west central florida in spring hill.
