Hello All

I just bought a running 1962 F100 with a 292 y-block. Was planning on doing an engine swap for a mid 80's 302. I want a fast fun truck to drive that sounds awesome too. Am I making a mistake swapping engines? Can I get performance out of this 292? What about exhaust sounding good? Thoughts?

Welcome aboard!

Often, the "New Member Introductions" forum gets skipped by the folks who can answer these types of questions, in favor of helping in the other forums. For this, you might want to try the "1961 - 1966 F-100 & Larger F-Series Trucks" forum for more information.
