Here is a picture of the engine compartment that will have to do for now. It was taken a few months after I got the truck running. I had pulled the hood off to clean up the wiring.

Smurf motor?? I'd say that hurts my feel bads but I don't have any.

The engine had to be Ford blue to go in a Ford. When I started in with the engine, I was saying to my self "I think I need a bigger box". After I got it dropped into place it looks like it belongs though. I had to do some trimming on the radiator support and front cross member to make it fit. If I ever do a intercooler I think I have room to make it all work

Theres a truck on our local craigslist that has me drooling. Its an 06 F-250 4wd crew cab short bed, blacked out, sitting on 35s. The best part, its a Fummins. They swapped in a 97 12valve, and behind it is a dual disc mated G56.
