Help - 61 Econoline engine ID
#16
Thanks for the info... I dropped the old engine out from the bottom - along with the transmission. I will be ordering the motor mounts this week - which should allow me time to examine the bellhousing problem. From what you are stating, the easiest way to put it back in is from the top. Sounds good - thanks -

I had to take mine to a machine shop to get them to build up new bolt holes for the tranny. That was a aluminum bellhousing from a newer ford truck. I had to buy that also. A cast housing they cannot build up. Once built up they mark for the bolt holes and redrill and tapand die them. That is how I changed mine to a 200 now I'm going back to the original 170 engine since I plan to restore it back to original. My other truck will be customized to be a extended cab Econoline truck. Look at my gallery is a picture of one similar.
