    Your elderly car has required little in the way of episodic repair, for which you're glad. But at your last scheduled maintenance, the service manager advised you that you would need to replace the brake pads, front and rear, before too long. But deferring that expense for a while wouldn't be a problem, he said.

    And all was fine for a couple of months, until you noticed the brake pedal dipping a little too close to the carpet while sitting at traffic lights. Not a big problem. Replacing the pads yourself on a Saturday morning should do the trick.

    Except ...

    This thread will walk through the install of a Ford Thunderbird IRS into a F100 SWB pickup. This swap can be done on virtually any truck with a 34" wide frame.

    Picked up a project car today. It is a 1991 Camaro Z28; one of my favorite cars with I was younger. I've never had a project car so we'll see where this goes.

    The good:
    It seems solid mechanically. Engine (5.7L Tuned Port Injection) is strong, transmission seems fine and suspension is good. It also has a solid body, although it needs some ...
