425 engine swap
first off, anything is possible.
second, do a google search for adapters, altho i doubt very much they exsist. not a real popular conversion, which, BTW is what you are talking about. a "swap" is taking the same make and size engine out of a donor vehicle, then installing it.
a "conversion" is putting an engine/tranny that was never intended for it.
BTW. . .
WHY would you want to put a GM motor in a otherwise perfect vehicle?

I almost bought a 1979 Ford F150 with a 500 caddy motor in it... The wiring had been botched and it wouldn't start. It would have been a rocket tho..... You can sqeeuze alot of ponies out of a 500..... IMO you'd be better off gettin a 460 and boring and stroking it. Get a few out of it.
