Great motor, I believe the TBI was 85-86 for the mustang. The vin should verify it.

nah no progress on the motor yet.. i need to order a new neutral safety switch for the C4 but as of the motor it runs last i knew.. so im just gonna take the oil pan off clean it out a bit cause theres some dirt in there and fire it up..

cause im using this truck for mud drags so im gonna be goin through a few 302's lol


but updates as of tomorrow my axles go together and start getting bolted to the frame


rofl took my '01 wheeling tonight in 2wd and it went everywhere the 4wd trucks went lol

 

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

[88_Eddie]

what kind of paint did you use for everything?

 

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

valspar from tractor supply

heres the finish coat

and heres the primer

 

[FrankBoss]

make sure you use the hardener with the paint, other wise it will scratch off easy...
Valspar makes some tough paint. I've used a bunch of it in the past.

Looks good so far

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

wow i didnt even know they had hardener for that lol.. oh well i think theres enough coats of black to harden the primer up.. although i can still dig my fingernail into the paint

well the rear end is on wheels now just need to mount it and mount the front end then its time for motor work

 

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

few more pics.. gots the rad. arms bolted up and the coil springs

 

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

rear end all on wheels

 

[Kyle M.]

Keep up the progress!

 

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

running out of time and money lol... once the axles get bolted up its gonna sit for prolly 2 years because im off to school at the end of this month and im not gonna be able to come back and work on it till im done

going to UTI for auto, diesel, hydralics and the ford FACT program

 

[cammeddrz]

what radius arms are those?

 

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]
