'61 Econoline

How do you have a 4 cyl in it? This would mean you'll more than likely have a 4 cyl transmission.
You could always look for a v-6 engine/tranny combo out of a ford ranger I suppose. Either way, you've got a lot of work ahead of you.
Another thing to consider is a 300 i6 engine/tranny combo. You'd be able to use a large six crossmember stock though you would need to get a pair of crossmember mount hangers.

Your 1961 Econilne probably came with a 144 straight six. Many were replaced over time with a 170 or a 200. If you do not have a 200, that is what I recommend. It is an easy bolt-in replacement for the 144 and 170.
The V6 is a wide engine, so you will have problems squeezing it in between the seats. A well-built 200 should be cheaper and more powerful than any V6.
