    I've been toying with the idea of an e model in my 359. Just need to find one of the older ones that doesn't intrude too much into the truck systems and mainly just stays as a engine managment computer.

    I don't knwo who you think your foolin. We all know you won't drive the 359 because it doesn't have enough "Belly room"

    I now where quite a few nice 359's are right now. It's probably a good thing I don't have any money

    Id unibilt that sucker! But not air ride it just cut the hole. Im not a fat guy, not skinny either, im 6'1" 230lbs so no problem there. But honestly i have like 40 more years of this crap (we shall see the way its going) we all know the 359 is a rough ridin son of a gun. Bet it still rides better than a W9!

    You can pretty much do any electronic kitty set up in it MM, get you a 379 main harness and go to town, just stay 03 or older and single turbo.

    well if you don't run around empty they ain't that rough! Even my 379's were not unibilt so really it's what I am used to in a pete other then the 2000 I had for a few years pulling scanners.

    I want to unibilt mine. I need the belly room. I can't believe that guy at the other place unibilt that 359. Air ride and all, no subframe liek most do. And he did it to a #### 1987 numbered classic.:biggrin_25513:
