OK, I have thought long and hard about doing this. I have started to gather parts and hope to start this when the weather breaks (no more snow).I have a budget of $1500.00 and should be no problem. Since I have not upgraded my axles yet, it's gonna be stock for now.
I have two engine choices, A 1972 torino 302 or a 1987 lincoln 302. The 72 needs rebuilt and the 87 is a junkyard pull. I am leaning towards the 87 due to time and budget. I'm doing a carb swap, might do EFI at a later time.
Transmission is gonna be a np435 and an np205 transfer case out of a 87 F-250.
The parts that I have on the way are:
3' body lift
timing gear set
oil filter reloaction kit
HEI style distributor
Still looking for an oil pan ( hopefully on the lincoln) Radiator, motor mounts, fuel pump, 15 gl fuel tank, and a carbed sending unit.
I'm going to try the mustang motor mounts. Been alot of question about them, So we'll see if the drop right in.
Don't have pics yet, but I will post some of the build.
