330 interchangable with a 370?
Hi guys,
I have a 87' F60 with a bad 370 motor. I found a 74' F600 with a 330. Can I put the 330 in the 87'?
This would probably just be to get me through the winter ( I deliver coal)... I would either rebuild the 370 in my spare time or find the right diesel engine and trans to put in it over the summer...
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Austin

I believe the 330 is an FE/FT engine while the 370 is related to the 429,460 engines so I doubt the trans would bolt up to the 330 engine if you are reusing your transmission. If you could get the engine/trans, you could probably make it work with some fab for motor mounts & little things like that.

I was aftaid of that, the 330 comes with a complete truck that is drivable... So the trans should be good, but not sure i want to modufy it because i dot think it will be in there for too long...
Would any 460 work? If I found a mid-80's f250 with a 460, there are plenty of those around...

Serving suggestion: Limp along with the 330 motored truck while you rebuild you existing 370.

Thanks for the replies... I think I'm gonna go with a new motor. Didn't want to spend the 4 grand, but the truck's not making money sitting here and I don't have time to mess around making the wrong motor fit...
Thanks,
Austin
