Well I got this F150 from a friend, he bought it cause it came with a 460 that he needed for his Lincoln, I gave him a hundred bucks and some wheels in trade. I got a 90 f150 4x4 with a 5.0l E4od regular cab long bed. This is how I got it:

It has the original motor and trany in the back. I spent a week putting it all back together. The PO thought fuel pumps went out so he pulled everything out to transplant a 460 and C6 in the truck but lot the drive. I had to do a little work to it and custom make some fuel lines, and replace just about every bolt in the truck cause all I got where three bell housing bolts. First I resealed the motor and installed it along with the tranny and transfer. I had to replace a unjoint and exhaust manifold and timing chain as well. Then my dad and I got the motor running it was getting fuel to the injectors but no spark so we replaced the coil,nothing, then the pickup coil then it ran. After that I hit the junk yard for some little things, exhaust crossover, water pump pulley and seat belt buckles. After in was running I hooked up the radiator filled it up and had a giant puddle under the truck, tanks leaked. So a new Spectre 2 row radiator was ordered. Along with a throttle cable and tune up parts. Right now I am working on changing the ball joints front and rear brakes steering arms and greasing everything. And I have some minor things to do, I have to find a dipstick tube so Ican have the tranny flushed and filter changed. And I have to figure out why one window rolled down and not back up the other does nothing and the locks don't work, and they are electric. And the first awesome upgrade I did was a 3G swap.




Fuel lines I made

I am going to secure them to the fire wall so they don't work down to the exhaust

130amp 3G alternator for a ford tauras

Installed and wired


I just took the evap thingy off so I can move the truck to the house out of the shop but I am going to move the fuse and reinstall the evap Doy
That's about all for now.

 

Work on the truck some today did ball joints greased the bearings and replaced the seals. Also picked up some decent set some tires and some nice looking chrome wheels. The wheels need some cleaning up, and tires are about 70%.
New ball joints:

New steering arm set up:

New tires and wheels/tires:

I wonder if you can still find some Mountain Ryder replacement shocks! But seriously I am doing some research on replacement shocks.


And here is my little helper!

 

Nice progress

 

Subscribed and looks like its coming along great!! And I thought the dropped the 460 in the f150 in the early 80s

 

Thats a clean truck but a 460 in a f150 never heard of that before exept for the 70s models. good work

 

It didn't have a 460, he said the old owner pulled the original motor to put in a 460. He put the original motor back in. There's more than just pictures up there, there's text to read too.

 

Thanks for comments. And I didn't put a 460 in, although I wish I had one to put in! Everything is coming along nice I have to call Jeff's Bronco Graveyard to see if their E4od 1 piece dipstick will replace the 2 piece that I have, well the lower half. Tomorrow I am going to finish putting together that one side, install the steering arms then replace the rear brakes.

 

I did some trouble shooting tonight on the electronics, the drivers side window motor is no good. Has power at the switch but nothing in the motor, so that need replaced. The passenger side little gear is bad, also has power at the switch and only goes down if you help it, so I am going to replace the motor. And door locks have a good ground but only locks on the passenger side and won't unlock, but the drivers side switch nothing happens so I am guessing that the switches are bad. I figured out (since it is raining here lately) that the windshield wipers only work if you turn the switch on and off really quick. Sucks if you drive down the highway. I got to put my new fuel filter in yet, should help with the drive ability a bit.

 

Today I got one step closer to my end goal (but its never really done is it). First I will give you I tires to look at.
New tires/wheels on the front:

New fuel filter installed:

Moved my fuse for the alternator and reinstalled the smog canister:


Today I finished up the ball joint and steering arm install. I set the toe pretty close and need a quick alignment. Also in the process of rerouting the starter cable and the leads to the alternator fuse block I cracked a vacuum line, so I put a piece of heat shrink on it then wrapped some black tape and more heat shrink, no leaks. It's only temporary I plan on replacing all the vacuum lines with those fancy quick connect lines you see on the power block. I finally replaced the spark plug wires with some 8mm units from Autozone. The old fuel filter was probably the OEM unit and had some chunks of crap come out, dad and I blow the fuel lines out just for added insurance. Went over the original list of To-Do's and crossed off a lot and made a new one.
1- door lock relay (trouble shoot)
2- window motors
3- windshield motor or switch
4- replacement windshield
5- trany dipstick
6- trany power flush w/ filter and gasket replacement
7- rear axle seals
8- rear brake shoes
9- rear wheel cylinders
10- brake flush
11- shocks (front and rear)
12- alignment
13- O2 sensor (I have a replacement but the OEM is ceased in there)
Some of it isn't to important right away but there is just a little to do before I can drive it every day. Some upgrades I want to do are cab lights (always liked the look) I have some off road lights that I want to install but I am gong to get an aux fuse block so I can install my CB and lights and not have to tap into the OE harness. And later on I want to get a new vinyl for mat and some heat/sound shield and a paint job.

 

Earlier this week I ordered some Raybestso 5871126 replacement coil springs for an extended cab F150. I got them install this afternoon to level out the front end. Brought the front end up 3", but in a lapse of judgement I forgot to order the alignment bushings. But I will get some at Autozone. I also ordered a replacement dipstick and tube but its on back order with no timeframe of shipment. So I am going to search a few more junk yards. Now for some pictures.
New and old:

Installed:

Level (camera moved at the last moment but its level)

Caster is way out:


That's all I got for now. I still haven't ordered my window motors or door lock relay. The power accessories are next on the list.
