Thanks for watching! A Ford 9 inch is a popular choice for a swap. Be sure to measure the axle width between the drum brake backing plates in your Dodge so you know if the axle you want to install will fit. Also check the gear ratio and compare to your original gears to calculate the RPMs at highway speeds. Then verify the spring perch width works with the Dodge's rear springs or you may need to weld on a set. Last but not least compare the pinion yoke and u-joints, and sometimes the driveshaft length will need to be modified. Good luck and have fun!

Lots of awesome vehicles showed up and a few rusty VDubs too! Love 'em all!! Looking forward to next year! Thanks for watching!

Hi Wendy, there may have been a few, but I was awe struck by all the vintage rusty bits. I'll keep a look out next show. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching!!, Love your channel too!!

Unfortunately my camera wasn't working well, so used phone to record. Thanks for watching!! (Desafortunadamente, mi cámara no funcionaba bien, así que usé el teléfono para grabar. ¡¡Gracias por ver!!) google translate so I hope its correct....

Good thank

There were some beautiful vehicles there that day. Thanks for watching and thanks for reminding viewers to subscribe! Have a great day, Cheers!

David, you're describing my dream, and maybe a future project.... Happy motoring!! Thanks for watching!!

Yes, there were some beautiful VDubs out this year. Thanks for watching!

I would hope that all my old cars are still on the road. Thanks for watching, cheers!

The show used to be only open to 67 and earlier, starting the Better Late Then Never (BLTN). Although l would consider Sciroccos to be classics now, it may be a few years before they allow later models. Thanks for watching!!

You are correct Kirk, the vent cover was held on by bolts not screws. All of the original stuff was rusted or broken, I replaced the them with stainless machine screws and allen head bolts. Thanks for watching!! Keep on truckin'

Hi Vince, I didn't realize that those are not reproduced. If it was a rat I'd say make something that'll work, but a resto is a whole other story. Looks like swap meets or ebay is in your future. Thanks for watching!!

Thank you Scott. The vent functions so much smoother now and the new seal has been keeping the rain out. Now just need to fix the windshield leaks, haha! thanks for watching!

Hi Keary, I used Part # 7209313 Big Block Ford Current Big Block Motor Mount by Speedway Motors. The mounts were from RockAuto but my block is a Lincoln. I believe they are slightly different than Ford full-size sedan or truck mounts. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing your story, Silvia. My parents had a bay window bus with sliding steel sunroof. So many memories of watchin clouds, stars, and giant redwood trees in Big Basin State Park. Later my brother learned to drive in that ol' bus. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Anonymous Me. I had camera trouble and resorted to my phone, but I thought the filming with the groovy music that it fit the vintage vibe. Thanks for watching and have a great day!

I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!

It's been great to get the truck back on the road. Thanks for watching!!

This one goes to eleven.. Thanks for watching Lucky!

I do like the sound! The spare tire hanger was hideous. Check out the tailgate episode for updates of the rear of the truck. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!

Wow! Working the night shift! Hopefully Levi's gives ya a cold beer and a tailgate to sit on! Thanks for watching Lucky!

Thanks Jonathan, I kept it to 2 1/4" exhaust pipes as I'm running stock manifolds and want the "old school" sound. You may want to use 3" on yours for more breathability. I had some rusty cherry bomb mufflers to install, but my buddy at the exhaust shop recommended the Flowmaster Flow FXs. They sound great and it doesn't resonate in the cab like some other style mufflers. Thanks for watching!!

Yes, I kept all the original steering and steering box. The engine is back as far as possible with still a few inches of clearance between exhaust manifold on the drivers side and the steering box. I used a Speedway 385 series BBF engine mount bar mounted inside the frame channels with stock '71 Lincoln engine mounts. The transmission in on a stock '71 Lincoln mount and I modified the transmission crossmember out of the Lincoln Mark III also. And I did have to modify the front crossmember and radiator mount to clear the crankshaft pulley. Thanks for watching!!

Yes, Andy was very busy that day. Hard working guy. Thanks Buddy!

Thank you much, and thanks for watching!!

In due time, friend. The engine still in the break-in period, but soon.. very soon. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!!

Your right xtechx2007, I flipped the core support around and rewelded the radiator mount bracket straight up to gain a couple inches of clearance for the crank pulley and transmission cooler lines. Thanks for watching!

Lincoln 460 bored .020 over, mild RV cam, Holley carb, and Pertronix ignition and coil. Stock heads with stock intake and exhaust manifolds, all cast iron. Thanks for watching!

So far so good... This drive was only 5 miles to get truck up to new house. Power was great, but open exhaust was LOUD and got some crazy looks with no frontend, haha. Exhaust install in upcoming video. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! This has been a long road overall, but from pulling flathead to running 460 about 2 years. Lots of weekend and late nights in the garage for sure, plus all the things that life throws at you. Thanks for watching.

I originally was looking into a Crown Vic swap, but turns out to be a bit wide and the time any money was too much for my budget. Thanks for watching!

Your engine is your choice, I respect any powerplant. Most important to me is to have fun with it! I originally was looking into a Ford 4.6 with FI, but the 460 was priced right on the '71 Lincoln . $300 for the whole car (it was a rust bucket). Sold the headlights, taillights, mirrors, and any other bits I could unbolt to pay for the engine machine work and parts! Thanks For watching!

Thanks, it was a blast to drive!

Thank ya! Its a bit rough on the ears though. Stay tuned for exhaust and more updates!

1971 Lincoln Mark III with 3.0 :1 ratio and 9 3/8" ring gear. The engine and transmission are also from the '71 Lincoln. Thanks for watching!!

Good eye, my friend.

Sparks-A-Plenty coming up in the next episode, Thanks for watching!

Not yet. After the suspension settles a bit, I'll look into some options. Thanks for watching!

Dicky's Garage Thanks for tuning in. Your big block Miata looks like it’s going to be a handful if not two! Awesome build!
