Hi I'm new to your group and it seems like there's a lot of good knowledge floating around here so I was hoping to tap into it. I bought a 1990 Tbird with the tranny out and a blown head gskt on the motor. The price was right though and I have visions of the beautiful car with a 5.0 HO engine and the AOD transmission. Has anyone ever put the 5.0 in a 1990? Will it fit without too many snags? and where's the best place to find a buildable 5.0 roller cam engine? I'd sure appreciate any info. Thanks

what part of the country are u in? The Reason I ask is I could sell you my 93 with a 5.0 HO or a 95 with the 4.6 or both. I need a truck more then my birds. Jack

Wyoming is home for me. I actually have a couple of trucks for sale.... What are you looking for and where are you located? Dal

I am in Cincinnati, Ohio. I am really looking for a 69 Ford F100 with a long bed and A/C, or a 73-95 F150 4X4 or a 76-84 Chevy 4X4. Jack

I have a 1977 f150 long bed 2wd with a 400, headers, rv cam for towing torque. I drive her a lot and she's not even bad looking. She doesn't fit your specs but she is what I have. Your 93 with the 5.0 sounds like what I'm looking for... What kind of price tag are you looking for?

I am looking for about $1500 or trade after I replace the doors and strut bushings. If I was to sell the 93 as is, I would throw in the 95 (car is complete and in good shape - trans is bad but has full power seats, mirrors, doors, and leather) for $1500

I'd possible be interested in a trade... I'd take them as is... Could either bedriven home?... To Wyoming I mean?

I believe the 93 would make it. The only thing i think would need fixed to drive would be the thermostat and a C clip reinstalled on the throttle linkage(clip is missing) and the door taped. The 95 is non driveable (trans is shot). Would u want both or the 93? I have the title for the 93, I have not recieved the 95 or title yet. Jack

Hello! Kelly Welcome to the group! I live in virginia and don't have a set available, but I do have several older fords and have some info that you may or may not know. Your f-150 will be a 5 on 5.5 meaning 5 lug spaced 5.5 inches apart. This is a very common pattern ford used on all f-150's, fullsized bronco's, as well as early bronco's and other half ton fullsized trucks from the 70's to present date. Also early model jeeps till the mid 80's. Your truck proubably has 15" rims, it can run 16" or 16.5" if you find some, but there are less tires sizes available to choose from and they are often more exspenive! We (me and my wife) have a 79 f-150 short bed 4x4(hers) a 79 bronco 4x4 (mine) and a 70 early bronco 4x4(ours), they are in our F-150 group photos... http://autos.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/fordf1504x4s/photos/browse/5126 Hope this helps! Dwayne

Thanks so much for giving me this info. Les Swab tried to say I couldn't get anything but specific '76 rims...he talked about them also being the 5 - 5.5 but would not admit I could use anything off any other ford truck or any other model. I love how you and your wife have truck partners =) I have my current '60 Comet project, that once ran, but my husband would like to have his '67 Falcon back...he had one at one time but it got pulverised by some gang members in an alley that thought his car was someone elses they knew. Bummer. Love Fords. Had a '62 F100 project but sold it for $100 and a used lawn mower that broke down after the second use. Sigh, we live and learn. I'll look forward to posting as I deal with some issues that I don't doubt this old shaped truck will have. Have a great week, Kel

Kelly Your welcome! Glad to be of some asistance, if you have any questions in the future feel free to ask. I have collected quit a few vehichles, mostly older ford trucks. Is your 76 two wheel or four wheel drive? Any lift? Stick or auto? just courous. All of our trucks are 4x4's , working on vehichles and fourwheeling are preaty much my only hobbys and they kinda go hand in hand "lol". Sorry to hear about your husbands Falcon, I also own a falcon " no kidding" it is a 66 futura two door with a 351w. I'll send a pic when I find one. Well I have to go help with dinner so I'll talk to you later. Dwayne

One of the reasons I felt the 4x4 list could help me is because I really need a 4x4 but this '76 Ford is rather an obligation purchase. In that, I mean that it has been loaned to me quite a few times to help out in getting stuff to the landfill and moving stuff that I felt obligated to go ahead and purchase it since I use it so much. The gentleman that is letting me use it is also the vice-president of my employer..so double wammy on obligation to make right. It isn't manual, like I would prefer and it is only 2 wheel drive. But it's year is my birthdate so I figured it was meant to be mine someday. Besides, $350 is all he is asking. Looking into conversions would make a challenge but it might be worth it so I wonder what it would take to get it into a 4x4. What has your experiences been? Purhaps you could give me a shopping list on what I need to keep my eyes open for as far as parts. I might need to have a whole other truck to make into one. Thanks a bunch for the kind hand =) God Bless, Kel

$350 sounds good even if its not a four wheel drive. At one point I owned a 79 F-100 two wheeldrive, it had a good body so I had considered making it a 4x4. If I had keep it " long story, to long for my point and peck typing tonight " I probably would have put it on a 79 F-150 4x4 frame" be cause of power steering and disc brakes " or I would have lifted it alot with a custom fabrecated syspenion lift. Either way would have taken alot of work and a little cash. The truck that I had, had a twin I beam front axle that had some brackets that hung down to hold it in place that would have to be cut off or it would need a good bit of lift for the new 4x4 axle to clear them. Is your truck a V-8 or a staight 6? and do you have a garage? To make your truck a 4x4 you would need a 4x4 front axle,prefeably a dana 44 from a late 70's F-150 , also the radius arms "the two metal arms that connect the rear of the axle to the frame" and brackets and the track bar " the metal bar that connects the passenger side of the axle to the drivers side of the frame" with its bracket, you will also need a transfer case and maybe a transmission to put it on. There are two types of transfer cases, one that bolts directly to the transmission "married" and one that is seperate, but connected by a small driveshaft "divorced". You could use a divorced T-case but you may need to do some custome fabricating. A married T-case walnt bolt up to your exsiting transmission. I think the easyist way for you would be to buy a late 70's F-150 with a blown motor or a bad body for cheap, you would just need the transmission " tranny" , the transfer case " T-case " , front driveshaft, front axle "Dana 44" and connecting componets. There are also many other parts that are interchangable with your truck. I don't know how much you know about vehicles or trucks so please don't think that I'm trying to belittle you with big words or indeaf descriptions, I wrote this like this to help you understand what these parts are. My wifes father and brother both knew alot about vehicles, but never took the time to explain anything to her because she was a girl, she know very little until shortly after meeting me and her truck broke down, after I found what the problem was and orderd the parts to fix it one friday night we went to bed and she asked what I had orderd and what dose it do? thats when I relalized that she had been stereo typed. We got up and looked at several auto parts books starting with the bare block " 8 holes= V-8, 6 holes= 6 cylender, 4 holes= 4 cylender " and then working our way out in detail. Four hours later " 2:30 AM. " she had had a crash course in how an automobile engine operates. She retanded alot of the knolage and has continued to learn and work on her own vehichle as well as her mothers and sisters and brothers, she now knows enuff to put most men to shame. Thats a story that I love to tell " type, not so much". She makes me very proud! I don' t like people who take joy in knowing more than others, because of those people I take joy in teaching others all that I can! So please ask any questions" even if their stupid ones " you want about vehicles as long as you can put up with my typing and spelling! Well I need to go work on my 79 bronco " rust repair " I'll talk to you later. Dwayne

Oh, your questions, just an auto, no lift, V6 but need to verify engine cubic length. Oh man, does this thing need suspension overhaul. <sweating> Kel

Sounds great! Finding unmolested cars is getting harder each day. I have to confess, mine although pretty rusty at the time was a complete 70 302 AT w A/C, now its a 427, 4 speed, 9 inch with A/C. The only excuse I have is that the car probably would have ended up in a junkyard if I didnt rescue it. - Ross
