Dang this sounds like a really cool truck! I've heard that the T-18 from a Ford (?) bolts to a D24/T with very little modifications. How well does the D24T move that '84 F-150?

When I first got my Volvo I too noted the oil light being on for a few seconds after a cold start up. At that time I was thinking of using something like an Accusump oil accumulator to help with pre-start lubrication. 6 years and thousands of miles later I never did and the engine runs the same as it always has. Just something to consider.
