Too much red. But at least theres a 5.0 under the hood. Clean it up and make it what you want it to be.
 
ya its not that red its duller the flash on the camera made it worse
 
Whats the story on the interior? its out of an explorer? That looks like what I want to do to my interior except replace everything thats red with a dark blue.
 
I found a explorer in a junk yard with the seats and consol, seats bolted to stock brackets and my dad and I made the brackets for the consol rather easy, after all, thanks.
 
Is that the original red for the dash and doors?
 
yes thats the original dash roof doors and carpet.
 
Lower it some 3-4" with a couple tak on hood scoops, clear headlights and a wax and you got a showroom truck :headbang:
 
some more comes before all of that lol, but soon enough itll get paint and new rims, thinking 02 mustang GT's with a spacer? IDK
 
Crankcase vent.
 
that is just an aire breather on the oil cap is a hole that had a hose running to nowhere so we put that on.
 
If that truck was blue inside and out I would probably try and steal it lol jk. If I wasn't worried about fuel millage I would drop a 5.0 in place of my 3.0. That could be a REALLY nice truck with some work. Whats up with the tach sitting on the floor? Does the one is your instrument cluster not work or what?
 
Sweet truck! How did you get that motor to fit so well? I'm asking cause you look like you have gobbs of room in the engine compartment. It always looked tighter on other trucks to me. If that much room is normal I may reconsider the v8 swap. Or is it because it is a 2wd?
