Engine swap
I have a 76 150 with the 400 automatic 4x4, I want to put in a fresh 390 and C6 that came out of a 75 250 2wd. I have the mounts. Is it a do able swap? I do know the 390 will not mate to the 400 tranny. Thanks for the help. Jim/Cushing, WI

both trannys are C-6's, just different bells. The tailshaft length won't let you use the 2wd on the 4wd setup, without tearing the trans totally down to replace the tailshaft, or get a trans for the 390 4wd.
