My 97 XLT 5.0 swap so far.

[Yepitsbob]

I have a 97 XLT short bed and regular cab. I dropped a 83 5.0 out of Mustang GLX with a rebuilt C4 out of a Mustang 2 year unknown. I made a custom dash and relocated the gas tank to behind the rear axle. The rear will get swapped to an 8.8 next. The truck is nothing to look at . It has great bones. This is a long unfinished journey for me .

The first thing I did was get rid of the scoop and windshield graphics. I could not order the pics the way I would have liked to present them. I have a video of the exhaust after it was installed. I will post it once I figure out You Tube posting.

Here's a video of my exhaust sound. It also kind of shows the truck a little inside and out. I want to get rid of that windshield visor eventually.
