I was going to just do a sas and a 302 swap but the trany I'm useing bolted to A 460
So here is some of the pictures from start to present
The body comes off

Look how small of an area I had to work with

So I started with a 1974 f100 4x4 frame that had be put together

Now Its time to mark and cut the frame

The first check after the cut

and a lot of work gettin it right

We took the left over part of the frame and cut them to fit inside for strength

Startin to look better

here is the first test fit

here is the test fit with the 38.5s

here it is all welded up

I am making a removable front clip to ease motor swaps and ect.I chopped the top off you know for head room.
Here is some pics of the drivetrain

.oh and just so you all know ......
I HAVE A BRONCO II WITH A BIG BLOCK IN IT
A LOT MORE TO COME!!!!!!!

how did he clean it up nice? im just wondering cause im putting a 302 into my 95 ranger and was thinking of repainting it to look nice.. what would u suggest i do to clean it up nice (all the grease and old rusty paint?)

he and i cleaned it for about 8 hours with small steel brushes and carb cleaner but it was worth it.
