390 swap
Will a 390 out of a 68 Fairlane 500 fit into my F-100 390 with no problems? My truck has the C-6 tranny..........will I need to change anything or should it drop right in and bolt up? I don't know what type of tranny the fairlane had in it. Please help. Thanks!!

They never put a c/4 behind any FE. You will need your truck exhaust manifolds. Also the dipstick location may be different. Most cars went into the block near the front on the drivers side. Some pickups went into the oil pan. Other than that you should be ok. Your acessory mounts may be different too but that should be obvious and you can just swap any of that stuff right over.
