Hey all,
I recently saw and fell in love with a 1970 F100 with a 302 Windsor.
My inexperience in cars in general has meant i have bought a body which is way to far gone for my capabailites.
Sooo....I have now bought a restored 1968 rolling shell which is all set to go and all i need to do is pull the motor out of the old one and into the new.
This is my first ever project and will be buying parts and tools i need as i go.($$$I KNOW$$$).
My question is...Where will i find the best step by step information to remove the motor, clean up and drop in the 68.
I am expecting to hit a whole lot of stumbeling blocks and can use all the help i can get.
In anticipation,
Ross

I would do a search on ebay and look for a used Ford factory manual. You can also do a google search for a used factory manual. For this year Ford a Chiltons or Motor Manual would be a big help also a Haynes.
