yes that will be the motor, that is the old motor out of my 95 F350 (EFI 460). Have some custom headers for it that should fit inside the frame so have to see how that all goes

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

Nice truck, I wish mine was a long bed. I would like a 4x4 too but since I live in the city there is no NEED for one.

picked up a 06 F350, V10 so now the truck frame is outside and the garage is maxed out. Decided to do the bed and the cab next to free up some space. Couldnt bring myself to keep the 06 F350 outside
