    Im new here, I used to have a 1992 f150 (I posted on f150forum.com as 92custom) I tore up the trans in that truck and couldnt rebuild it or find another so i sold it for scrap:censored::censored::censored::censored:, I drive a 1983 ranger now its a std cab lwb 2wd 2.0L 4cyl (72HP...its a beast) with a 4 spd manual transmission (real trucks have three pedals), I can be described as a redneck, I dip, so far on my truck I have put a cb, hurst t-handle shifter, and camo seat & steering wheel cover...my future plans for the truck is to put a 3/4 drop 18in mustang gt/cs (chrome torque thrust style) rims 302 v8 efi with a 5spd power steering & brakes...those are the major ones but to many small mods planned to list

    I forgot to mention that I have a 600w MA audio amp and a 10 inch memphis PR subwoofer and two clarion 6x9's and a jensen flip out cd/dvd player to install but i have to make some kind of bracket to hold the radio (I cant use a regular dash install kit because the previous owner cut up the dash to hell and back)

    i know some one will shoot me for this but its very true .. a 305 and yes i said a 305 chevy will fit in the hole a lot easier than a 302 and should bolt right up to your tranny ( may have to buy a belhousing convertion kit)

    a chevy motor is also cheaper to work on but again if you want to have a chevy motor buy a chevy

    I tend to agree...if you want a chevy, buy one.

    I can see putting a chevy motor in, only if someone GAVE you one!

    I can see that if that was the case or you blew up a motor and that was all you had

    I own a 1985 535 bmw that I've had restored.

    I also have a company car that I drive, but I'm leaving my job soon and that stays with the company.

    If I can sell the 1985 bmw, I want to get a mustang GT. I probably won't go new, but slightly used. I've been drooling over them on ebay motors.

    I'd love a F-150, but haven't been able to convince the wifey that is a good option :( She doesn't want to drive a truck.
