Project "The New 4.Sick"

Vehicle: 1988 Ford F-150

Info & Why?: Truck bought new by my Grandfather in 1987, Has been in family and passed down to me since my Father has a Mental Disibility. Truck has been Work/Farm Truck by my Grandfather since 1987. The reason behind this is Truck really means alot to me and my Grandfather is still alive but i really had a urge to do this so i am..... going to be a blast and cant wait to started here in about 2 weeks or so. I am looking to put a carbed 4.6 2v with a hit of spray (For you guys that know me thats going to be obivious lol) which I have in my garge. I will start a Progress thread later but wanted to get this out here and see what everyone thinks of the project. I have had 4 or 5 stangs and wanted something different but with my heart still in a stang i thought what the heck, and Project like this will be awesome. Below is what it should look like give or take when its done.

Thanks Mazen, i know it is different and to me thats what makes it cool. I have just hope to have the support of my friends here at Stangnet as this is going to be fun. I havent got to do a frame off build so that will be something differnet i think, as i will have more room to work. Thanks and will keep you'll posted.

lol, i wish. The money is possibly there but i really havent decided on what to do in that department, I have a 04 4.6 block in excellent shape in my garage but not sure of what varation to go with. I could always stay 2v go 4v or more so i really am pondering that situation right now. I will prob have to cross that bridge when i get there, right now i am going to take the cab and bed off and convert from 4wd to 2wd (I have a doner 2wd front end). Then i am going to work on the frame and brace it some, also going to install Engine/Trans in frame then lower cab and bed back on the get the body work done. The one thing i love about this is, i can get suspension, engine, trans & everything done without the cab or bed on the truck, that is the greatness of having a frame lol.

P.S - I have a wiring harness also so Fuel Injectio/Forced induction is NOT out of the question.
