Been behind on updating my thread. Gonna take some time to get it up to speed.

I moved my CB location up, built a new bracket to help straighten my driveline some.




I tore down the truck to swap doors, and found out that Expedition doors and Supercrew doors are actually different internal shells. While i had the door off I went ahead and tidied up the wiring in the RF corner. I got the donor CJB fuse box tucked up on the RH kick panel area




I mounted my 2015 OBD2 port in the pocket on the knee panel below the steering column



I did some more test driving and found out that I had a minor oil leak to address. I had several issues to work through to get to a point that I was happy with it again. Removed alternator to gain access to the MMR oil filter relocation adapter.





Installed brand new OEM HarleyDavidson / STX fog lights



My lovely wife agreed to have us order custom plates for the truck. It was actually her idea to order them, and we worked together to get exactly what I'd want on them

 

Here's the recent videos. I built a scale so I could weigh my truck at home.

Final weight 4894. Might need to start thinking about putting her on a diet!



Heres the door, wiring update video


and finally the oil leaks repair video



More test driving and more pics

 

Your level of craftsmanship is second to none. I had my hands full whittling a 94 Explorer harness to fit a 90 Ranger during a complete drivetrain and electrical swap. The most

 

thanks for the kind words zjrog!

 

took her out for a run

 

That is Sick!! I'm officially Jealous...hahaha

 

thanks!

 

Awesome job Patman. Thanks for the blueprint for my swap.

 

thanks!

 

Fiddy has some new brakes, and 5 new stainless flex hoses

You Tube

Also working on a few more small wiring tasks, and she will be back on the road soon

 

few more update videos...

working on adding a coolant and trans sending units for the autometer gauges




and then I removed the 4.6L engine bay wiring, and added a "PCM" circuit for my 2003 AC compressor

 

and finally, got both my trucks together for a photoshoot

 

That is a very beautiful engine/transmission truck mod you have did and my hat is off to you.
Years ago I saw a 1964 ford falcon with a 429/427 mod that was unreal. The guy who did it was like you in taking his time and doing it right.

I wish I had missed that wiring pictures as I now have to wire a truck up that field rats have been at. You name it and they have had their way with it. When it rains it pours as they say.

 

thank you! I really appreciate the kind words and the feedback

 

Pat, it's simply beautiful!!! I know it was a combination of labor, love, and knowledge building.

At my advanced age I don't do stuff like that any more Last engine/tranny swap I did was back in the early 70s. A couple of spools of wire, a couple of fuses, nothing but a manual that eventually became so greasy from thumbing through it that it couldn't be read. No matter, I'd memorized it by then.

Just a tremendous job Pat, and thanks for taking the time to document it for all of us to follow.

Peace!
