Features Econoline Madness Who's got one?

Whew, Craig, that is one awesome Eco! Love the rake!

 

this the one im working on its a 61 with a 402 bbc and a glide with coupler to nine inch.

 

What type of "coupler" are you using? I've been thinking about something like this for my 429 Ford.

 

its a mark williams spline coupler.it replaces the yoke on the rear end and the yoke in trans they slide together only about 4 inchs between tras and rear end.

 

Thanks for the info. That was one thing I'd been wondering about for a while. Now if I can just figure out the shift linkage for the 4 speed, but I have an idea for that.

 

I finally got around to writing up and posting my engine swap article.

^^^^^^^what he said^^^^^^^^?

 

Put the bong down son.

 

Thanks Hellfish,
Next time I'll do it right.

 

There's probably not a right/wrong way. That's just the way *I* did it and I can say it worked. I really just wanted to provide all the details... an Econoline FAQ of sorts.

 

I had a lot of OH NO'S with mine! Like forgetting about the starter placement when I built the crossmember. I got the engine in it and all together, OH NO starter won't fit. It all came out and a big notch put in the crossmember. Between what you've done and what I done, the next one will be much easier. Thanks,

 

smallblock ,was that just picked up from the craiglist down here @ MD.? looked like a real good deal !!

 

Here is a pic of my Six Deuce Econo.

 

Lookin' good Dallas!

 

Thanks Crowen57. I'm gonna get some new pics up this week. My van is rolling on Keystones now with a couple more inside goodies. I signed up for the TJJ App on my Iphone. Now getting pics up is super easy.

 

We got a light dusting of snow the other day

 

WOW!!!Brings back childhood memories. I grew up out there on the East Side along the lake.
BRRRRRRRRRR!

 

Got more dash progress pics, but for some reason I cant post pics on a thread. It only works on my album. So you gotta go there. HTC EVO, any ideas why?

 

Thank you for reminding me why I put up with the high prices of everything in Hawaii. I'll take $3.65 a gallon for gas over shoveling that shit any day!

 

This is my 17 year old Allisons Eco, she and my 19 year old Steven did much of the work. Alli designed the paint scheme and Steven painted it. 13 red and white stripes on the roof, 50 stars in the blue band. She will be drag racin it at Milan Dragway this summer. We are also taking it to the Detriot Autorama in a couple weeks. It doesn't have an engine in it yet. Plans are either a small or FE Ford, not sure yet.

 

That's awesome! You have some talented kids

 

Lookin' good Steve! Can't wait for updates.

 

Balcones, coming together nicely. Hope to see it in April.

 

Hey Hellfish, Light dusting here too! Gotta love winter!
