Fantastic work. It must have been a chore getting all of the computer systems happy. You need to find a way to make it say F100 in place of F150 when it fires up.
Was that the cab of the donor leaned up against the fence I saw in the background?

Entire project has been a chore! Sometimes fun sometimes not much fun . .
Yes, the donor cab is now being used for dragging the driveway. Powered by a FE Ford.

More when I can learn the basic editing.
Today I decided to add a "Tow Package" to the EcoProject
Upgraded Turbo's thanks to technology from the 2017 Ford GT
Much larger Radiator
Cat-less down pipes
And of course working on a "tune" to make it all work.
I will be using a SCT Live Wire for that.

Been a while since update. Eco1 now has over 10,000 trouble free miles in it. Started another eco swap build March of 2016. This one is opposite of Eco1. 1966 F250 getting enough electronics to make it work. Eco2 is utilizing stock 1966 frame, suspension, steering but got a major brake upgrade. It happens to be a Ranger (factory bucket seats) chassis is now fully restored. Seems new format will attempt to post pics.

It’s been a while! So much has happened since last post don’t know where to start!
Just day’s away from having ‘66 Short Bed 427 truck on road made a bunch of upgrades where it’s at now
So close
Quick update. It's been so long a lot has happened.
orange white truck I sold the 482" FE and bought a 1 of 5 450 hp 510tq 3.5 Raptor Crate engines. Just started install last week. Retirement age now so figured it would be a much better cruiser than with the big FE.
