This Pro-street 1963 Ford Econoline is for sale on eBay with a buy-it-now price of $35,000. The truck started life as a flight line vehicle for the US Air Force that was decommissioned and sold to the public. The current owner purchased the truck 12 years ago and spent that time turning it into a pro-street custom called “Streetsweeper”. The truck sits on a custom tube chassis with the engine and transmission installed in the bed. The engine is a 454 ci Chevy big-block V8 with LSx flat-top pistons, forged crank, Lunati 292H cam, oval port heads, and two Edlebrock 650 cfm carbs. The drivetrain consists of a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission connected to a narrowed Ford 9″ rear end with 3.55 gears.
I have a 66′ econ van . Wanting to make it mid-engine. How is your rear end(with suspension)Trans/engine mounted? If done again would you change anything about the mounting of drive line? Thank You very much! Any info at all would be helpful. Randy
