76 f100 options
Hello everyone, I've got a 76 f100, 2wd with a 302, and I'm looking at possibly doing an engine swap. I've looked through the forums and I kinda want to just get a general list going to feel out all the options, and I figured the best way would be to ask the people who've done it before. I also kinda want to put this into 3 categories. Category Number 1 will be bolt in/no modifications, these are just the basic pull an engine out, drop a new one in, though it's never quite that simple. Category number 2 will be things that have been done many times, and there are kits available to do it easily. Category number 3 will be things that can be done, but would require fabrication and a lot of work. What do you all think would work?

1: Latest roller 302 you can find out of an Explorer or Mustang. Swap the EFI for a carb manifold, check the exhaust manifolds and swap if needed. Adapt or swap your front engine accessory drives. Fresh(er) motor with more beans.
2. What has been done--351W, or FE swap. The 351W is more of the same of the later 302, with exhaust work needed, and maybe better cooling. An FE swap would use OEM parts to mount the engine and a transmission for an FE. (bell patterns differ)
3. What can be done: How much money do you want to spend? 351W stroker, FE build or stroker, 460 swap, Coyote swap, new 7.3 gas swap, 4BT diesel swap, LS swap, gas turbine, all electric....
What transmission do you have and what is your intended use?
