new from iowa

my name is josh and i have a 1991 toyota longbed(the black widow) fully bagged in process of finishing the body drop been working on it for a while bought it last year apart put it back together than decided wanted to do more to it. so me and a buddy pulled it completely apart to do a body drop and put a 302 in it plus a bunch of other goodies. so heres some pics. 1st pic is the first day i got, second is when i had it all together and 3rd is its current state that it is in

Welcome! Nice project,I\'m in the middle of a 5.0 swap myself,got any pics of your swap?

not as of right now were still finishing the firewall and the tubs and than were going to mount it and it also going to be carbuerated not fuel injected

Welcome to the site!

Cool! Making my mounts now! carb\'d as well,You going Ford trans or keeping the Toyota with a bellhousing swap?

yea im going with a ford c4 auto and me and my buddy are going to use mustang motor mounts

Ok,mine has a c6,and uses the 4 banged mount & crossmember,and looks like I am gonna use stock Toyota & ford motor mounts minus the rubber bushings with some 2x2 square tube solid mounted.the trans is done,hopefully motor mounts will be done tomorrow.I will update my build thread.everybody does 350 swaps so there\'s not a ton of info on 5.0 swaps

yeah i have a raised tranny x member for the toyota 5spd that im going to figure out how to mount the c4 to it and i think i might have to get an oil relocation kit since the oil filter sitcks out pretty good i dont know yet though. did i mention this truck will have a full tilt front end and its going to have a trans am shaker scoop on it too.

welcome to the site!

thanks for the welcomes!!
