well the 3.8 sucks..
so lets get rid of it.
started off like this
with this
then its out
still looks red
shot it with some flat black till winter and shoved this in there
big mess
swapped everything from the donor car...
got all of it in there, swapped the cluster, and lock cylinder and it fired right up.
more pics to come..still lots to do. finish off the brake lines to the master, swap the focuss pump in, and maybe lower the rear, depending on where the front lands. hopefully the 7.5 will live for a little while

99, you're making me miss my old Ranchero again. i'm really hoping that this 460 is cammed to hell 
mine was, biggest damn cam i could afford for it. i remember it put down around 600rwhp all motor through a C6 auto. i called it the rice killer
