Hey guys I took this picture last night... I'm getting pretty excited, fixen to start putting this thing together. I'm wanting to have it together for my birthday in February. All I need to get are rod bearings, piston rings, and arp main studs, and that will come from the next check.

haha don't remind me!

Yeah I guess you could say that... That's also been piecing together for a complete truck (not just for a motor/tranny/transfer case, mind you nothing on this truck will be stock, everything will be built to handle the power stress of every other part.

I also buy parts for my '03 F-150 Harley, whether it be maintnance or upgrades... So you can see where it gets confusing, juggling between the 2, this is all on a very limited income.

Thanks man, but don't get mistaken it'll be road legal, I've always taken pride in dominating the mud seen with a D.O.T. legal truck, and ease for getting inspected and passing emmisions.(5.4) Reason for it costing 3x as much as going 8-71/460/c-6 (it will on day, when its taken from street legal duty) I also like the Idea of being able to swap any part between the trucks if need be.

Thanks man I will


LMAO, my favorite post to date, I'm headed to east Texas this weekend to work on it alittle bit. Theres a few things that need to be done. I'll get some pics if its worthy

Figured I'd get the non 4x4 people... Alittle bit of bad news I was doing my normal stroll in te bad 429 and I had a little accident about a month ago



And the before shot... Makes me sick to my stomach to look at, but it's only metal

It's a '70 ford Torino GT with a 429/c-6/9"

Another shot



And I was doing about 60 when I had a blow out from some dry rotted tires, I thought they were good, but boy was I wrong.

I lost a 429 emblem but I have extra of everything else on the parts car.




The parts car that the fender and trim will be pulled from
