Very nice. Looking into doing the swap on my 67 as well, currently in the research phase

If possible, can you show some videos of the engine bay? Looking to see how yall did the swap. I have a 67 as well.

I will do that at some point in the near future. We did all of the work ourselves so I would be happy to answer any questions you have. If you are thinking about doing it there's a lot of good information I can give. I don't know how to contact from here though..

@@markgibson61 thanks man. Really cool ride. I actually have a 67 fairlane ranchero with the 390. Like to make it more drivable. Still early stages in planning. Just wondering how difficult the swap is.

@@mikeisabella4539 It's a lot of work but it's not too bad if you know the right parts to use. Took about 6 months to do. Used a new crate engine with the Ford control pack. Rod and Custom Mustang II front suspension with Coyote mounts. Front shock towers removed. New brake lines to new disc brakes. Had to modify the mounts, motor sat too high and too far back. TKX transmission was touching tunnel. Had to modify that a little. Was surprised the stock crossmember worked, just had to be modified. Used stock clutch and brake but used a hydraulic clutch conversion kit from Modern Driveline. Used smallest/shortest master cylinder I could find (from Mustangs to Fear) in stock location-very tight fit, probably the one thing I would do different. Engine comes with a dual mass flywheel that can't be used. Bought long tube headers from Mustangs to Fear. They fit perfectly. Front springs were too stiff at 650 lbs. so changed to 400 lbs. but still a little stiff. The wiring harness brand new from Ford had 2 bad connections (one in MAF sensor and one in throttle position sensor) took weeks to figure out. Ford's tech helpline was no help at all. Used an air intake from Power by the Hour with stock size MAF housing so it would run on stock tune until broken in, then went to dyno. I highly recommend Power by the Hour and Mustangs to Fear for parts and advice. They both were great help. The wiring took some time. Dakota Digital dash with BIM module made wiring the gauges a simple enough one day job. I'm very happy with how it turned out and how it drives. If I paid someone to do the work I would have had way too much invested in it. There is a bit of fabricating involved. Let me know if you have any other questions and good luck!

@@markgibson61 sounds like a good time.... 👍 my car already has the towers removed with a mustang II IFS. I do have a C6 auto not a manual so there would be a different challenge there. I'll send a message if I have any questions. Thanks for the info.

Here is a link to a video of my engine now. It's a bored and stroked 390 to 445CI. Its just a little too radical for casual driving kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNx-h8R_s5nNe6c.html

Have you taken it to a strip to see what it will do?

I already know what it will do... It will spin the tires! lol
