Yeah would be a good idea to coat the cab and bed (when I get one). Have to buy a welder now to so I can spot weld the new floor pans in....I can already see the never ending dollar signs

Yeah I do have quite a few extra parts to get rid of. Also just checked the vin an according to that the engine is a 351 and I highly doubt it was swapped so the owner probably just didn't know.

I think the parts are interchangeable between the two

Yeah they're the same block just bigger stroke on the 400. Not to worried about what the engine is anyways as I really would want to throw in a 302

Well the mustang I've been working on with my father has a 302 in it, and idk why I've just always liked something about the 302s. For one you can get pretty decent power out of them, and I just rather a small block over a big block. Don't really have any real reasons why I guess haha just prefer 302s.

Yeah there is certainly a lot of parts for them haha that wouldn't be for a while though by then I may decide to keep the 351 (or 400 whatever is in it) I mean it is a really reliable motor, and I've heard people pulling well over 350hp out of em

Well I got the truck and frame today. Came late around 9pm so haven't gotten to really even look at them much.
