477-534 swap?
Hi. i have a 76 f 600 crew cab ramp truck with a 4 speed and straight speed rear. Its has a worn out 370 2v. I located a 477 or 534 engine in a 72-74 dump truck with a 5 speed trans and a 2 speed rear. i plan on using the entire drive line but unsure of the engine. Are these engines any good. are ther better alts to these. thanks

I think you can upgrade to the 429, same family as the 370. That would be your best bet, unless you want to upgrade to a diesel, in which case the Cummins 5.9 is probably the most available usable engine for your application.
These old engines are not what you'd think for power, and are very thirsty. |
85E is right a 429 is a much better choice, that was the replacement for
the old SD engines. The difference between a 370 and a 429 is a lot. A 460 can be swapped for a 370 but it takes more work, 429 is a bolt in. Have A Good Day---------Hotwrench :-X25 |
I'd use the 429 also.You'll get a lot better performance than with the SD engines,and it's a bolt in,and parts are available.
