ok i got and 87 f150 5.0 that is amazingly clean and a 93 f150 with a 351w, body is so rusted out its junk except for the front clip that ive pulled off to put on the 87.so far i took out the 351 windsor from the 93 and i redone it completely it has gt40 aluminum heads shorty headers new coated pistons tuned intake manifold fuel injection bigger throttle body basically redide everything to put it in the 87 next is the wiring harness but my big question is, am i able to take the dasboard from the 93 to put it in the 87 with the guage cluster becuase i like it alot better and the 87 interior is junk. also i found a set of bucket seats to put in the 87. trucks ready to go out for paint but wanna know if i can fit the dash in before hand so i dont mess up the paint becuase if i cant i am not spending hour removing them. also hust got my 8.8 rearend back from powdercoating and sandblasting looks great. NEXT question is i want to make the 87 a 4x4 what would i have to do to make it 4x4 and what axles and tranx will bolt to the 5.8 ltr 351w motor preferably a stick shift.thanks for the help

 

You might be able to take the whole dash out and swap it, including all the wiring, heater controls, etc,lot of work, the 4x4 stuff is a direct swap into a 4x2, you will need the matching gears for front and back, one thing to consider is you might want to think about mass air with the engine you are building, speed density does not like big modifications, one good thing about F150\250 from 80-96 is alot of stuff will fit between the trucks and years.

 

yeah actually im thinking about fabricating a sheet metal or aluminum dashboard and leaving the truck 2wd might just make a strip truck and not even put the heater core or anything under the dash back in thanks for the info tho

 

Ok.
