Welcome to the site! What year is the truck? Any idea if it is a roller motor? I have an older 351 block and crank I plan on building some day, but it's flat tappet so I plan on going with link bar lifters. It has already been machined, though.

Any idea what model of fox body you'd like to have?

I think your motor, although not equipped with a roller cam and lifters, is actually set up as a roller. You might do some research to make sure (there are a couple good F150 forums). The cam in that truck motor isn't good for a light car...it's more for towing and such, unless someone changed it. Same with the intake. They flow great but the power curve is good for a truck...low rpm range. Are you planning on keeping efi or going carb? Either way, the 351w motors are perfect for fox body cars imho. I can't wait till I get mine together!
