The funny ford engine in the engine bay? ;P
Anyone want/need a flathead 6? The plan is to run a T5 ford behind it, I picked one up a couple days ago, rebuilt world class T5, Hurst shifter for $250 from a 92 GT. I'm contemplating a mustang rear axle assembly, including the suspension trailing and locating arms, coil springs... Hemi will get taken apart as soon as I grab a compression tester from a friend, I want to see how good/bad it really is before deciding on how much time/money will need to go into the motor _right_ now. |

Tonight was night 3 on disassembly, below are the pics from day 2, 3.
I decoded the VIN to see that the truck is in fact a 49 1/2 ton F1. |

Still sorting out the assembly method of the front springs, the front shackle is not coming apart easily. I think one of these front springs or maybe one of the rears with a couple leafs removed will likely become my transverse front spring
Current Plans: Hemi 331, T-5 Trans (with adapter) Minimal rebuild if I can get away with it. Looking for a 4 barrel intake & carb Custom frame Stock front axle & steering, Disc brake conversion Rear axle Fox body mustang, and locating arms & trailing arms coil springs. |
