This is my little project ute. its a 68 521 originally had a j13 but i pulled it rebuilt it and sold it. have gone with an L20B and a 5S5W71B 5 SPEED. I'm rebuilding the engine to suit a Garrett T25 Turbo, pics are just my dummy engine im using to get it sitting right, for the conversion i had to cut off original chassis engine mounts move them back a few inches and put them on a 35 degree to suit the 200b mounts the engine came with although they needed some alteration and used the original J13 rubber isolator mounts. the gearbox mount is a simple fix just using the original tranny mount for the J series box and shortening it 2". Engine goodies: Weber dgms 38, forged pistons (still tracking these down either L28 or custom pistons up to 88mm bore), the rest of the bottom end is forged as stock but race prepped, Copper head gasket, arp main, rod and head studs/bolts, custom 38mm long runner turbo manifold, modified and p&p intake manifold, Peanut chamber head with extensive port matching and mirror polishing, HD valve springs (TBA), 3" stainless straight through (no cat of coarse) dump and exhaust exiting just behind the driver door. cab is on to check shifter position but will come off to be soda blasted, panel and paint. i'm undecided on colour but i was thinking ford "gotta have it green"

I've always liked these utes and this is a unique build! What are the plans for it, will it be road registered or a race/drift toy?

it'll just be a registered toy. I might tow my little work trailer behind it every now and then and put some work signage on it but it'll just be a toy. I'll keep modifying it until i get it in the 11 sec quarter zone
