@bobcowan Man, that is already a tonload of experience you share wit me here, so thanks for that.

So I found a place to get the full swap package and they will also delete pats (security system, etc). They said that i don't need the ford control pack, and since i let it come as a 'crank-a-pallet'... what can go wrong?!

So what option did you go with in regard alternator? The mini alternator? Is 80amp fair enough? is it plug n play? Dis you made your bracket/mount and where did you put that extra pulley?

I would definitely go with electric powersteering for numerous reasons. Do you already have an eye on a system which would work for us?

Another question i have
Could you use the Backdraft gas tank or did you go with a other option, and what's your solution in regard fuel pumps?

Thank you so much!
