1978 ford F150 300 i6 swap
hey guy
Iv got a 78 f150 with a 300 i6 and a 4 speed manual and iv been wanting to do a swap. So what my question is what other ford engines will bolt up to mine. I would prefer to put a 400 v8 in it but im will to put any v8 in that will be basicall just a bolt on. And if anyone has done something simmular to what im planning on doing please post with details.
Thanks
Lane

Any v8 offered in the 73-79 trucks can be dropped in. Granted you buy the right frame perches. You need the matching bellhousing, too. Remember to look at cooling. Also try to get all the pullies/accessories for the new engine in one shot.
If I'm missing anything major, someone else will chime in.
Good luck with you swap!
