Looking forward to watching your Stallion come back to life

What happened to your front crossmember - wreck or rot

Now to do some research on the 460 install.......this forum has some very good info on this swap..... so the plan is...
460 motor
5 speed trans.
ford 9" rear
125 horse NOS....(for fun)
4 wheel disc (power) brakes...have manual brakes now...
paint the car the same colors...
there are countless hours of bodywork to do....
I did vacuum all the crap out of the interior......a great improvement...
