    Looking good, Falcon!! Maybe you said it earlier but what is your 8.8 from, an Explorer? Is it 3.73 limited slip?

    Yesterday the 8.8 got a coat of paint along with the spring plates and some lower shock mounts I built. She back in and ready to go as soon as I run the brake lines. Next I want to get the rear fenders bolted down and the bumper and gravel pan on.

    Thanks, the bummer is that the back wheels won't fit over the brakes. Oh well, time for a couple of boneyard Crown Vic steel wheels and some paint.

    Today I got the fenders bolted down, bumper & gravel pan on, and had to do some re-engineering on the gas filler. It stuck out way too far before so I had to shorten part of it and make a couple of brackets to hold it steady. I think the next order of business is clean out the trunk and get some POR-15 on the floor of it; then onto getting the hydraulic clutch hooked up.

    Man, I hope she'll have some decent power. I know those SHOs were pretty respectable even though they were only 235 hp. Believe it or not, the 49 is actually 500lbs lighter than the Taurus so that should help.

    Good look in the trunk, neat, clean, and orderly! I think it should have plenty of power for a cruizer, decide to make it a bullet could always go find one of the new Hemi's someday!

    Very true, Dave. Or I could hang a turbo on it! But I imagine the Ranger trans wouldn't care for that.
