    I see.... A few years ago I did a front end swap on a 97 Ford f350 7.3 dually.... I wanted 4x4 but it was never offered with the dually - at least at that time..... I found out that the frame already had all the notch's and mounting points set up from the factory. It was fairly easy but very time consuming.

    This is my old 03 mustang v6. No that wasn't a typeo I said v6. I may at some point try to do this but not at this time - all the wiring.
    Bored and stroked - bigger valves - cam swap with dome positions.
    Ran late 11 Na. And with a bottle would get into the 10s. It was an annoyance to heavily modded Lt owners and non modded ls owners.
    It probably had a lot more in it had I got the traction issues ironed out.

    Honestly, I doubt that motor was at any drag strip unless it was in the tow vehicle... Appears stock, has huge piston dish that's going to drop compression to around 8.5 or so... What heads do you have??

    Appears to have the V8 goodies you need, box up the towers and you'll be on your way...

    My 1974 was a 6 cyl car, but still had the threaded inserts for the belly bar. I used a 4 door comet for a parts car, my engine frame mounts, and belly bar bolted right in with no modifications needed.
