i have a 1968 f100 and i would love so much to not have to deal with the 240... i dont know if the transmission/bell housing would work with anything different... any ideas?
oh will personally I would go with a 360-390 swap with a C6 auto, but if you have a manual that would be a problem, unless you wanted to put in an after market floor shifter
zanierd, You have what is commonly referred to as Small block pattern, that includes 240/300 6, 302/351W/351C V8. These are the more popular ones that share that pattern.
Today if I were thinking about a swap I would include 2010 & newer. The 4.2 V6 with OD is what I would look at. next would be the Ecoboost. My2
300 would be easier for sure, and you wouldn't have to change a whole lot for a 390. but 300 would be easy and you could go with a efi 300 if you wanted
You can get a 300 to do a lot. Good intake with 4barrel carb, cam, late model EFI exhaust manifold with a good exhaust. You will think you gained A whole nother engine compared to your stock anemic 240.
