Shifts Happen
Hello everyone, it's been a while!
I once had a truck that, while very unassuming, i love it very much. I called it the Farm truck. I started doing mods to it, before a rusty frame ended my fun. here was my thread from way back then, when i had the farm truck.

Anyway, when i sent my truck away, i ended up pulling every useable part off of it, going down south, and buying a 92 F250 2wd, which was a straight, rust free chassis and cab, and i stacked all of the parts from farm truck in there, along with all of the parts i have gathered along the way.
It's time get started on building.
Here's where the truck was, as of a month ago. The topper isnt staying, its just there to keep all my parts dry.
And so i started tearing down, getting some of the things i didnt need out of the way. things like front clip, the locked up windsor, and the E4OD.
There, that's a bit better. now i can work.
The plan before was to build a roller cam 351W, not stock but not too crazy, and put a ZF5 trans ( which i have procured) into the truck, lower it with some beams and a shackle kit, and do some paint and bodywork, change the interior color to grey, and daily drive it. I tore down the windsor i had, and went to the local machinist to talk about some machine work...
I came home with this. a roller block 351W, someone had built, but never came to pick up. It has forged pistons, its been bored .030", zero decked, and has a few other tricks. It also came with a set of HEAVILY worked over E7 heads with new valves, springs, and other assorted goodies. For $1500, i couldn't turn it down.
