    I have a 91 f250 that i can't do anything with due to issues with the title, So i am thinking that i could look at transplanting it into something a bit faster maybe a 70s Gran Torino. The motor is backed currently by a zf5 so there is no transmission controls in the ECU so i can easily pull the wiring harness and ECU during the transplant. Who Knows what the Wife will let me do.

    Could you possibly get a title bonded title? I've done that before for a vehicle with title problems.

    I put a 460 in a fox body.......

    Why not buy another body for the title, and do a cab swap?

    Sell it, part out the truck, sell what's left for salvage, and use the money for goodies for something you're already driving. Or go on a nice fishing or hunting trip!

    The cost of a bonded title in Arizona is more then the truck is worth.

    I thought of that too I am just having a hard time finding a decent body to drop the drivetrain into that is affordable. A nice quad cab would be nice, but out here even the trucks that are trashed get top dollar.

    A sleeper is what I am thinking just trying figure what to look for. I could always drop the 460 into a 2001 Fiesta but The motor weighs more then the car though LOL
