Just got a 1958 f100

Hi guys I'm new here I just got a 1958 f100 for my restoration project it has a 6 in line tranny rear end everything stock. So I'm planing to get a 5.0 v8 on it an a better suspension idk if I should just do work on the stock one or what is the best more modern f150 frame dat would work for my new set up

 

changing to a different frame is a Very BAD idea

 

So will that frame hold the 5.0

 

351 in my 57 and AOD

 

I will suggest a read of the rules and an intro first.
