I sit the motor really low in the chassis. I didn't have a problem with my last truck. But this one I won't know for a little while. Still a ways away from sticking the motor in

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
351 aint cheap to build right and 400 plus hp. usually a pig on fuel in any case.



sbc again? na.... on a good day with the intent of this thing in originality...it looks like your being a bitch. put a rat in there or some sort of small displacement turbo critter.

at least with a rat it will be hard to justify hate:icon_rofl:

1990 ranger shortbed 2wd 2.3 5 speed. Got off my uncle for 500 and drove it 700 miles home :headbang:

Drivetrain is a 93 mustang ho 5.0 that's been rebuilt. Worked aluminum svo heads. Roller e303 cam. 96 f150 4.9 5-speed. 97 explorer 8.8 3:73 rear

So still gather parts and pics. But here's the truck how I bought it

Nice to see you too Bobby. How's about a little of this :thefinger: and a little how's your father :icon_thumby:


Jk! But call me whatever you want. My truck and I'll do it however I choose to do it. I had full intention of doing the 351w swap. Had all the fabrication done. Then the horsepower but bit me. And I already had the Chevy motor built so :thefinger: you bro :icon_thumby::D

The early 60s motor mounts worked good for me on my 89 . I set mine back a little farther than you so I could use so block hugger header that came with the motor.

Man I had to dig to bring this one back to date

Project took another turn. I was actually planning a 4.6 swap. But a low mileage 95 mustang fell into my lap. And the engine and t5 behind it were the perfect choice for my intentions with the truck. So I pulled the old girl from her resting spot. And am getting back into it. So stay tuned. Within the next 3 weeks. She'll be road worthy again!
