Hello all,
I have purchased a 1983 school bus with a ford 370 in it.
I am needing suggestions on how to proceed with it. I basically want more power, not a ton, just enough to pull the bus around easier especially with the added weight of the deck on top. The engine runs good, has good compression, but has some racket going on. Can I rebuild it and squeak out some more horses or can I swap a 429 or 460 into it without to many problems. I thought the 370/429/460's were pretty much a straight swap but someone was trying to tell me the ones put into the buses and grain trucks and such were different.
Please help me out on this if you can. All input is appreciated !!
Lookin forward to chattin with everyone
