My 79 LTD 2dr - 351W

[Fordman75]

I'm not going to run the LSC. They are just on the car to keep it off blocks. I sold my dad's totalled Caravan. He wanted to keep 16" 5 spoke rims and expensive winter tires that were on it. So The LTD gave up it's stock steelies and tires so I could sell the van.


I will be picking up some aftermarket steel rims for it this spring. And the LSC rims will be sold.

And some bad news the I decided not to swap in the 460. I found out the 460EFI motors have a unique intake. You can't swap on a carb intake without swapping heads. And if I'm going to buy heads I'll just go with some good aftermarket heads for my 351W. I can make the same power(or more ) with less weight by using the 351W.

Rust !!!! Please

You wanna see rust??

Dragging cars out of the midwest aint good pickins

Towed it home from Wisconsin to Boston :slug:

"some rust on floors"

Fixed that and drove it 4 years




:rock: Air chisel time :chainsaw:



That was enough for me, the trunk body brace is all rusty too, can't weld the new wheel tub in thar. Time for a new body :cutit:

Sure post pics of a chevy in my topic. I think I'm breaking out in a rash! I know all about the midwest crusty buckets! I've owned plenty.

My 89 F250 4x4 is rustier then your car was. But I have no plans on fixing it. It either gets stripped for parts or sold.

Here's a pic of the steering wheel I'm using. I ran this in my old camper van I use to own.

If you are sick and tired of rust let me know. Aside from the junk I've already told you about, a friend of mine has an '84 tudor vic sitting in his barn and the thing is clean enough to eat off of. The downside: it's stripped. and it needs a new roof skin if you did try to fix it up. But either way it's totally rust free- it nicer than my tudor as far as rust goes. He started building a stock car out of it (yeah, yeah, sad I know) but ran out of money/interest. I'm sure I could talk him out of it for really cheap.

also- what are you looking to get for the LSC rims?

[Chachi]

that is what my trunk looked like last year

[Fordman75]

Tristan I'm definately interested in it! Would there be any chance of getting some pics of it? And could you see what kind of $$ he'd take for it? Thanks.

Chachi You did a sweet fabrication job on your trunk! Did you frame it up with tubing to support all that weight?

[Fordman75]

Oh yea I'd let the LSC rims go for $50.00.

Ooops... I forgot about this!

I'll check on it asap. I think he was saying 200 bucks before, but I'm pretty sure I can talk him down.

[Fordman75]

Sounds good, keep me posted.

A partscar?

I may need some tudor parts...

[Fordman75]

Join the club!! Actually depending on it's condition I may use it for my project car instead of gutting my 2dr.

[Fordman75]

Due to some issues with finding motor mount brackets for my 79 F350, I'm going to just rebuild the 300 that's in it. So this means the parts I bought for the 351W for the truck can now be used in my LTD!

[Grand Marquis GT]

Sweet!

[p71towny]

That is the same setup I plan on in my vic!
