But no matter what you put in there, you will have to make some parts, such as brackets for the engine mounts and other stuff.. Many years ago, I had a 1961 f-100 with a 223 and 3 speed transmission...I swapped in a 302 with a 3 speed, it worked great, lots more power and better gas mileage.. drove it several years and no problems... At another time I had a 1964 f-100 and I put a Pontiac GTO 389 engine in it...It was also an easy swap...   [Reply]  [No Email]
