A few months ago I traded my semi-restored 53 F100 to my older brother, Randel. The flathead was worn out, so he put together a 5.0 and AOD to go in it and we switched it out. It isn't entirely traditional, late model mustang fuel injection, but it runs damn good.
I put some miles on it today, replaced the coil, it really runs awesome. I drove it downtown tonight and delivered it to him. Kinda bittersweet driving it again, but at least it's on the road again, and still in the family. I got dibs if you decide to sell it later!
Woohoo it's alive and runnin great. I am hoping to have it at the drags in a couple of weeks. Its just a blast to finally be driving it after the transplant.
