hmm it depends on the Ford Truck. if its from the 70s make sure that its a Cleveland in it and not a 351M 400M. those were thrown into a whole bunch of trucks and its really not a motor that is great for HiPo duties even though its somewhat similar to a Clevelan. if the truck has a 351W in it it might be alright. you can still find a 351W at a junkyard without TOO much trouble though and i dont know about where you are but it might be cheaper to do it that way. plus you wont have to dispose of a whole truck after that too. ( ive parted out cars before.. getting rid of whats left is the hardest part ). the tranny in the truck ( depending on engine ) is most likely a FMX or a C6 if it has a 351 in it ( Cleveland.. Windsor.. M ...either or ) the rear end in the truck MIGHT be helpful as some of the trucks got a large bearing 9 inch that would take just about any abuse you can throw at it. it will be way too wide though for your car so youll need to send it out to get it shortened and worked. all in all i say that youll probably be better off getting all of the parts you need seperate. but hey... it depends what you can find out there. if you can find a truck for free or damn near it that might be to your benefit. i wouldnt spend more than $500 on the whole truck though.. just my thoughts
