I have a 61 F600 with a 292 in it . I bought a 68-72 F600 roller for the power steering box . After looking at 61's frame I have decided to use the later model frame and mount the 61 cab on it. The engine is gone out of the 68-72 F600 will the 292 bolt up to the later bell housing ? I assume it had a 361 in it . If the 292 won't bolt up will a 390 bolt up ? This is a Frankenstein project . I will be cutting the frame behind the cab just like the American Coleman Co did so the Rockwell transfer case out of the 61 can be used . I have found a IH bus frame to slide under the front half to lengthen the wheel base. Thanks for any input.

 

The 292 won't bolt to the 361 bellhousing, but a 352-360-390 will, you might run into trouble with flywheels, depending on how the 361, or it could be a 330 is balanced.

 

You can install the 292 in the newer frame if you have the complete Y block setup complete from front mt to bellhousing assembly. If you want to use a 390 you will need the FT bell and a flywheel from a 330MD , and a front mount from a medium duty 330 or a earlier front pickup mount . I have a 57 F600 with a 390 /5spd/2spd rear that I built. If you need more info contact me.

Thanks everyone for your replies.

 

I have a disassembled 390 sitting in the shed!
