Hello everyone - I originally bought this jewel for my son as his first vehicle but he didn't find it to his liking which turned out great for me.
The drive train is pretty close to stock.........it is equipped with a carbed 302, a C4 & D20, with 3.54 gears and a limited slip out back.
With help and advice from several great guys I have done a lot of mechanical work to the ol girl. The C4 and D20 were rebuilt by Viper with help by 777mechanic, and me doing the grunt work. I upgraded the brakes to an Astro Van based Hydroboost system and then installed all new axles, bearings, brakes, brake lines, etc.
Zillacon, 76bronco, and I recently installed a Wild Horses 3.5" lift. At the same time I added Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs on the 15" x 8.5" slots.
Future plans include 5.0 EFI (donor from 98 Explorer standing by), a "hidden" winch, and a gear change and ARB lockers. From there I might as well replace the rusted out floor pans and
on some fresh paint.new shoes and lift 2.JPG

I thought I would add a pic of our other project..............this is my wife's 57 Ford Fairlane 500 2 door hard top. I took the 352 FE & 3 speed out of it and will be putting in a 428 Cobrajet and a toploader 4 speed.
