  1. 98 Expedition trans into 2000 Superduty?

    Never mind, found the answer on another site. Same tranny, same bolt pattern.
  2. 98 Expedition trans into 2000 Superduty?

    My brother had this question and since I don't have a clue maybe someone here does. Will a transmission-transfer case from a 98 Expedition with a 5.4 fit a 2000 Superduty with a V10?
  3. 75 F250 4X4 in cab tank

    Thanks Bill, that is about what I figured. I cut the bronco cross members down by 2 inches on each side and welded them in using a junk tank for a template. New tank should be here tomorrow so all I'll have left to do is go to the junk yard and get a fuel line off a truck with a rear tank. Just...
  4. 75 F250 4X4 in cab tank

    I'm gonna try and fit a 78-79 bronco tank. I took the cross members and straps from one today. Have to cut the cross members down to fit. I'll let ya'll know if it works.
  5. 75 F250 4X4 in cab tank

    Anyone know of a source for a replacement in cab tank? Or of a tank that would fit in the narrow frame of a high boy? Every place I have checked only shows tanks for the rear of the normal width frames and the mid ship tanks for 2X4 trucks. My brother changed the cab and put a 78 cab on it. He...
  6. 86 F150 gas tank

    Thanks for the links and info Fellro.
  7. 86 F150 gas tank

    I acquired an 86 F-150 that had been parked for a couple of years and due to the ethanol gas, the tank and sending unit were rotted out. The truck was a factory 300 6cyl so it was not fuel injected. From a little research, it appears that they changed the sending unit hole in the tank in 85 to...
  8. flashers stopped flashing

    The 2 flashers can be swapped to see if the problem follows the flasher. I would rule out the bulbs, sockets, and corrosion since the turn signals still work,
  9. 97-99 engine swap

    I have heard that the engine harness is plug and play as long as you also have the PCM. I was hoping that someone on the site knew that for sure or if that was false.
  10. 97-99 engine swap

    What I was looking for was the electrical compatibility. He will be moving the engine/trans/transfer case as a unit into the truck. The truck is a 2wd and he is planning on putting a straight axle under it. Some fab is expected. Mainly what issues can anyone forsee in getting it to run.
  11. 97-99 engine swap

    My brother acquired a 97 Mercury Mountaineer 4X4 with a 5.0. He also has a 99 F-150 with a V6. He wants to move the engine/trans and PCM out of the 97 and put them in the 99. Any ideas what other road blocks/incapatablilties he might encounter?
  12. Pan clearance

    It would be much easier to just change the towers from a truck that had a 351M or 400. Thats just a bolt on swap. Also the 400 needs to be either out of a car or 2wd as the 4wd pan is different.
  13. Carb

    I just read your other post about changing the heads. Did you also change the lifters or at least pull them out and compress them? It could be a case where the lifters are stuck in the position they were in with the old heads and with the new heads they are keeping 1 or more valves slightly...
  14. 73 f100

    Just press the outer shell sideways a little and it will slide right out. When you get your hand on it it will feel like it is crooked, just push it sideways till it feels straight.
  15. Manual Brakes

    If you find the right pedal assembly, It will actually bring the pedal higher off the floor. Thankfully my donor was just outside my garage when I found out they were different. Glad to hear you got it not only fixed but improved.
