I like where this is headed

Well, I now own a running and driving 1984 Continental with a clear title. I have no idea what color it is. But it has a fuel injected 302 in it.

Uh oh! You're gonna love the 5.0! I suggest a 1-1/2" body lift. It's a lot easier to get to trany bolts and fit the motor in the truck. I don't recommend using the V6 motor mounts they're too weak. Build your own, get the conversion mounts or go with the mustang mounts. They won't sag or tear.

What did you trade for it?

I am looking forward to a V8. Even if this one has half of the HP that today's V6 Mustangs have.
Unfortunately, my new rig is a YJ. I will still be making custom mounts. My Ranger has moved on to the scrap yard.

What did you trade for it?

I traded (10) ~20' long sticks of 4" channel for it. I got about 30 of them for free a few years ago. I will have 10 sticks left after this.



This 302 is a TBI engine. Not the coolest 302 out there but its not carb. After talking to an engine guy, I can definitely work with it. I am not an engine guy by any means, so I have a lot to learn. That is why I drive a Honda as a DD and my diesel is a 7.3. Reliable and dependable engines so I dont have to worry about them

That's a pretty good deal. Raw steel for a running car.... I'd take that trade lol

Where did you price your gears at for the 60/14? Ive bought them from Summit before and they were reasonable.

 

[PlumCrazy]

I assume he priced Motive gears from Summit...lol Cheap and close.

The 60 I just guessed. I would assume I could actually find those used for under $100.

The 14bolt ones are turned gears so they fit with the shave kit. I would probably just buy regular ones and turn them my self but yeah. I was pricing ut worst case scenarios.

As for that 203/205 doubler, a buddy does have one setup for a Ford. But they are sooo heavy. I am going to try and rock 1 1356 for now and see how it goes.
Income is much better with this new job I picked up. Maybe I could find a used Atlas down the line.

Well, I started a new thread for this Heep thing.

Things are happening.

Took a $300 down payment on my 84 Lincoln last night. He is bringing the rest next week. I got more than scrap, thats all that matters.

Then the guy I got this YJ thing from is buying it back when he gets back from his current job assignment next month.

So I should be back in a RBV soon. I have a buddy scanning the auctions. I want a 5.0 Ex with a bad trans/rear end. I am looking to spend $300-500.
