Guest ScaryFast Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 How many hours did it take you guys to complete your swap? I am going to mount the engine w/ mounting plates and mount the trans solid. I am gathering the parts up right now so I can do it all at once (hopfuly). I know this question is a bit vague, but I would like to know a rough estimate cus I am doing this to my daily driver and I dont want to loose contact with the world for too long.

Whats it been, 12 years ... I give ya credit Pete, you have the patience of Jobe and the car shows it, I wanna be like Pete when I grow up (I should live long enough to grow up... ).

Guest Anonymous Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 With every thing together and a checkered flag pit crew About 24 hours according to the sun dial. Is there any truly finished projects out there that were not sold when finished. Lone: I can just see about twenty of us going into a restraunt with Pete and all ordering what he ordered to eat. BOSS Z ;;; I live in a backwater out of Springfield/Eugene. No, I do not have a Ford swap project but a lot of unfinished projects Email: ljohnson97438@yahoo.com I cannot seem to return your email. Come and see me some time. I was in Bend two weeks ago with Ocbaar trying to find a swap meet in Redmond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 there are some who say the swap itself can be done in 30 to 40 hrs,as long as you have all of the pieces ahead of time. the key is to make a plan and stick with it it sounds good in theory anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m also giving my mom a deal on the 92 explorer.with those gone I should be able to fit everything into my garage at one time and still have a little room to move (if I get rid of some of the "someday I might need that" stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Denny , No this is my recently purchased "stuff" I bought at garage sales "that I might need some day" I missed a 383 stroker kit for $50.00 in the Money Saver ad paper.
