Well, you didn't really ask a sPecific question. It's a cool lookin project. So what are your questions? I'm sure a lot of us have opinions/suggestions on what you should/could do next.

Dirtydingo motor-mounts
Nelson tune
schnofield long tube headers
efans from a 96 ford windstar
I think grey coys and some nice street tires
smooth out the body and paint it black granite metallic.

i have headers already not sure what kind they came with the motor. my porterbuilt xmember came with motor mounts. i am seriously considering coys in gunmetal or boss 338s. the truck will be red with a white top similar to the way it is now.

i will def look into the efans tho.

i was wondering what little things im gonna need to make this work in this truck as far as gauges and stuff like that goes.
i know im gonna need a fuel pump and filter setup, what is a inexpensive setup?
stuff like that. im sure once i actually start the swap i will have more specific questions.

Not to be off topic but have you see the new Caddy paint called Black Diamond tri coat? I saw it at the auto show this year, BEAUTIFUL!!!!

The headers you got with your motor may or may not fit since they werent made to go into that truck body. I would do some measuring to make sure you dont need a different set. You will probably have to get your driveshaft modified to fit as well. Not sure if it will need to be shorter or longer that will depend some on your motor mounts. The Dirty Dingo mounts give you some adjustment both ways.
