I originally wanted to use the stock big block ford with a truck 4 speed but the block has too deep of pits in the cylinders and i dont feel like spending the money to use it. So, i lucked up on a small block ford 302 thats roughly a late 60s model engine and a good C6 tranny ill be installing that in the frame tomorrow. hopefully wrapping this truck up and trying to drive it to Turkey Rod Run! ill post some pics when i get the engine installed.
Every time I see an up side down spring set I wonder how can that work-not saying it wont -just havent had it explained to me so I could understand.That 2x2 front spring perch looks a little weak next to the 6" frame , is that just temp ? got some finished pics ? LFE
