Im interested in frame swap ideas.
Previously i had looked into this and have not come up with much other than keep the stock, however upgrade it, or swap in a new front clip and rear.
Im pretty sure i will go the 302 cid route, 8.8 rear, man or auto - havent decided yet.
I figured a 85-95 v8 mustang would be a great doner, with the front clip coming from an aftermarket company like fatman or chassis tech.
Then i ran across a guy suggesting a late 90's to early 2000's explorer swap, but i never got into the details about the chassis, and i have read that a ranger swap is a poor choice.
Lastly I came across a 35/36 truck that was put on a late model Suburban frame/ drive train. I really like the look, not so mich the "Chevy" part of it. Just google the vin of the truck - T0125CLB
I would like to keep it all Ford, and am open to anyones thoughts and knowledge on this.
I have already priced out fatman and chassis tech at about $5-10k either way for a full frame (fatman), or front/ rear clips & mounts ect..... (Chassis tech) - (then i need to get it welded in cause i cant do it).

Tell me, Ken, which two Swap Meets in the contiguous 48 have you not got around to boycotting yet?
