1967 F100 3v swap

[jaa55]

It's still being built, I'm not rushing him..... He's doing a fantastic job. I'm more than likely using a roughed up bed I have to get to Carlisle this year. It's pretty solid just had a hard life

 

[tjm73]

You're going to Ford Carlisle? I'll have to keep an eye out for your truck.

 

[Lee]

Nice! Love mod motor swaps into old F100 trucks.

 

[jaa55]

Thanks, I'm there every year

 

[jaa55]

Started another two weeks ago, will be at Carlisle if all goes right

 

[jaa55]

Mines drive able the yellow one is eating all my time so hopefully I can get some cosmetics cleaned up under the hood before Carlisle, my temporary rough bed is on for the trip. My good one is still under way

 

[tjm73]

Can I bug you with two questions? Hope you don't mind. Love your build.

First question....Are you running the FRPP engine control pack or did you modify the OEM harness?

Second question....Do you think Racestar 15" wheels would fit the front brake setup from a CV?

 

[jaa55]

I have racestars I could find out. I made my own harness from the crown vic's. Just simplified it

 

[tjm73]

I looked up the Crown's brake specs and compared them to the '05 Mustang GT specs and Mustang brakes are slightly bigger and 15" Racestars fit them. I suspect they might fit. So I searched everything I could think of and didn't find a single reference to them on a CV IFS.

So you must have locked out the VCT on the 3V then?

 

[jaa55]

Yes, it's locked. I'll let you in on a secret about the cam toner ring.... Connected to the passenger side cam sensor...the phaser has ALL 5 tangs on the reluctor and I had zero tuning issues, and zero cam correlation codes

 

[tjm73]

Drive by wire still or did you convert to a cable operated throttle body?

 

[jaa55]

It's drive by wire. It was convenient for placing it on the firewall without finding a cable to work

here's more

Have to run speedstars until my bed gets back, I had the wheel wells widened

 

[1QIKPNY]

Very sweet project, I want to do an old ford truck one day too.

 

[ZmanM3]

Looking awesome!

 

[dark steed]

I'm getting ideas for my '67! Not the 3V because I have 351C in it, but good stuff here!!

 

[jaa55]

Made the trip from Pittsburgh to Carlisle

Got some new ford racing valve covers while I was there, put them on in the hotel parking lot

 

[fast Ed]

Saw your trucks there at the show, didn't make the connection that it was the same ones from this forum until now ... they both look great, nicely done!!


cheers
Ed

 

[tjm73]

I saw them as well. Your truck needs a hood. LOL!! Otherwise nicely done. Look forward to your future updates.
