My Abandoned 1955 Ford F100 Gets a Modern V8 Engine Swap

Published at : 12 Dec 2025

In this episode I install the Mustang II front suspension and steering and make some modifications to dial in my truck’s camber and caster angles. I also build custom engine mounts for the 5.3L LS engine and get it installed in the truck.

Restomod Supply provided the Mustang II front suspension setup, the kit I got was the Weld-On Mustang II Front End Kit (with power steering and coilovers): https://restomodsupply.com/weld-on-mustang-ii-front-end-kit-1953-1956-ford-f100/?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=mustangifskit&utm_medium=referral
