I recently picked up a '60 Ford panel. The stock engine is a 223 6 cylinder which obviously won't be useable in today's world. I'm thinking of dropping in a 5.4 3 valve. Anybody done this? Are there any swap motor/tranny mounts available?
I suppose I could go with a 302 or 351 with RJM injection, but I'm keeping my options open. TIA.

 

Ford Racing I think it is has a drop in computer for the 3V's, and if I was going that route I would add the tranny controller too.

Yes they are a lot of money which is why I am staying away from them now, but you will have a better set-up then trying to use a C6 lets say.

 

The ford racing harness is for the 4.6 3v OR the 5.4 3v Supercharged engines.

I also have a 5.4 3v non-supercharged to go into a 56 f100.

The ford harness is also manual tranny only. An auto tranny will require a separate controller, not from ford.

Thanks for the replies. That's probably what I'm looking for.
I'm familiar with the Motosport products and this is probably the setup I'm looking for. I didn't realize it would need the dedicated accelerator pedal, but it makes sense.
I'll check it all out and make my decision then.

 

when I talked to the Ford Racing tech support about the 5.4l 3v NON-supercharged engine, they said they had no clue if it would work. as they didn't try it.

and on the auto tranny they suggested places like Performance Automatic
