to identify the 4 spd tranny if its a borg-werner t-18 or t-19 you can atleast narrow down the company the produced it by looking at the main tranny case. the previous owner of my 79 f-250 said it was a np435(mfg by new process hence the np before the 435) but i had a clutch issue and had to...

according to my friends uncle the "newer"holes are smaller than the older ones. we did measure just to make sure and there was a small difference(if i remember right1/8th inch difference between the two)

so last week i finally "fixed" my truck. unfortunately the engine swap was a no go. the newer engine disty hole was just a tiny bit to small. the older dizzy wouldnt drop the last 1/4 inch into the new motor no matter what my friend and i did with it. fortunately for us his uncle told him to...

as for "rigging" the cheap o electric fuel pump that you have. you can always go to your local surplus store and get a set of cheap alligator clips and simply hook them to the wires on your pump and simply use a car battery or maybe a riding mower battery??? that will work for your power...

you know you drive a ford when your 300 6 runs on 5,radiator blows and you do a 5 dollar quick steel fix and it still starts and runs everytime and doesnt leave you sitting for more than 20 mins when something does act up(carb bolts came loose one night in a burger king parking lot, truck...

i think im the only one here with a 6 shooter under the hood. 79 f250 300 6 all stock and original,4 speed manual well 3 speed with creeper gear,3.54 rear, 2wd before the engine started having problems got about 12 mpg no matter what you did with it now its about 8 maybe less(running on 5 cyls...

Actually i am still looking for a replacement shock mount for my truck yes.

does anyone know where i can locate an upper drivers side rear shock mount and roughly how much it would cost? i was driving to a friends house yesterday so that we could pull all of the electronic stuff off of my "new" motor for the truck and i hit a bump and heard a nice "thunk" from under my...

again thanks to everyone for all of their advice and input. i picked the motor up on thursday, currently its sitting in a wooden crate on top of a couple old tires in the bed of the truck. i do have another question now that i have the motor. the previous owner pulled it out of an 86 f-150 4x4...

"As said before, I would buy it, and use it. You can't go wrong! Set the other one that comes out in a corner, and build it High performance later down the line". my thoughts exactly dusty bumpers :) build a nice mean v8 killin machine out of a bb6 definitely a plan there. i do have some plans...

so basically i dont need to purchase any parts to make the swap work for my truck. use the same carb,dist,and swap out oil pans and pick up tubes between the engines and all will work properly??? im guessing this is what youre all saying. i figured i would buy the motor either way and worst case...

the engine mounts are different between the model years. different part #s and you can tell by looking at them that they are 2 completely different styles. so will the 79 mounts work for an 86 motor??? the 86 mounts have a different bolt pattern and look to have a different setup for the rubber...

if im not mistaking the smog pump is a "general" or "standard" emissions setup on these

nice job on the paint :) personally im a fan of the krylon fusion. had an 88 tempo a few yrs ago that has crappy looking side molding on it and decided to get a can or 2 of the black,a can of silver,and a small model size jar of blue(car was blue) and taped everything off and wiped the trim down...
