Going to be such a great truck! Use it on the regular or weekend fun toy with a little programming. Plus the ride of the later model F150 springs, power steering. Great design for it.
@@bewareofmountainlions4429 This engine was purchased (donor truck) was purchased by a friend way back in 2016 for another ‘66 F100. He gave up on project basically never attempted the swap. 5 yrs ago i found this 1966 F100 4x4 no engine basically just rolling chassis. I then just had donor truck sitting here so figured put it on list of many projects. Since i had already Done 2 3.5 Eco swaps into 66 trucks called Eco1 & Eco2 thought it would be fun to call this Eco2.7. I then sold project to neighbor. He tinkered off & on for few yrs then walked away. A year or so ago i bought it back as project stalled. So here i am! In the meantime i did the 3.5 Raptor crate engine 10R80 swap in my ‘66 shortbed. I am doing a 7.3 zilla 10R140 in another 66 & my daily driver is a ‘23 STX 5.0. So this just happened & dare to be different. Should put down 400 hp to tire. Plenty for a daily driver.

Badass. What made you go with the 2.7 over the 3.5? Packaging?

@randysrestoration Damn. What a history. I would say good luck, but from the sound it, you don't need it. Happy building, and thanks for sharing.
What a terrible engine choice
