Engine swap?

Would this fit in my F100?

If you had a 352 it is a direct bolt in. I would have to double check the oil pan not sure if the 352 was a rear or front sump but the rest of it is a go.

352 is front sump in most cases!

It might be a little bit overkill for an F100, not to mention my bank account.

Would it be like driving around in a $100 jalopy with $5000 worth of tires and rims?

Bah, at that price you could build a hell of a big block. Not worth it, unless you want a conversation piece.

That would be so cool . My fathers truck had a 427 in it in the 80's but the previous owner (is now my uncle) the engine was getting tired and needed a rebuild so he took it in to some shop and they told him they would trade him a fully rebuild 390 for it and he did the deal the 427 was probably still worth 2x what the 390 was.

I expect the dead engine was worth more than that, if it was like the one the OP referred to. A 427 marine engine would be different. My O
