It’s been a few months since we shared Jessee Billman’s 1966 Ford F-100 project. In that time he’s completed the swap and driven the truck several-hundred miles. The turbocharged 3.0 L 2JZ-GTE inline-six and AR5 five-speed transmission have held up well however the factory 9-inch rear end has reached the end of it’s life. Jessee plans to replace it for a 6th generation Mustang IRS with a 3.73 LSD. You can view more photos of the project and follow progress at @2jz_f100.

Cool build! I swapped a 2JZGTE VVTi into my 71′ Scamp and got lots of hate and threats by flat earth Moparians who didn’t think a Mopar could be cool. Your truck is cool period, first because you did it and 2nd because it works. Look me up at my training site at cartrainingonline.com if you need help with standalone tuning and other 2J stuff in the future.
Nice REAL NICE. Like to see er perform.
Love your coolant overflow tank!
And of course the truck too…..
