Hello! This is my first time actually joining a forum... Well, I recently bought a 1977 Ford LTD Country Squire that has been sitting for the last 35 years. Its my first vehicle that I would consider a project car. The plan with it is to get it mechanically sound as much as I can do myself, and eventually clear over the patina. Small plans for now, we'll see where it ends up. It has been christened the Turdwagon by family since it's 80% patina, 20% faded wood, and not running when I first got it. Hoping to maybe use some your knowledge to help me where I get stumped.
It has the 400. I was originally told it had the 351m when I bought it, but upon investigation the valve covers have a 400cid displacement sticker on them.
Yeah. I did a little research and they pretty much were the same except for a longer crank and cam to give it a longer stroke. I of course learned all of this after buying it. Oops!
In the few years I've played with cars I've only name a few. Turdwagon would not be my first choice. Considering it's a FORD it seems appropriate. Don't ask me for knowledge. I never knew much and I've forgotten most of that. PS Welcome to the forum. PPS... "Small plans for now, we'll see where it ends up." WARNING..... This statement often comes just before a total frame off restoration.
Been there too many times, BTW: Welcome to the rabbit hole, invite the family to help you create your ride.
