I don't like Fords, but this one I bought for $400 and have put in about another $600 for parts, parts vehicle, trailer rental, gas, etc and it runs pretty good. I have not rebuilt anything at this point. I am not fully impressed due to the 2700 rpm @ 55 mph with a 3 speed auto but I am now looking for a FMX or AOD tranny to give me that overdrive and better fuel economy. Will state more later afterwards.
