Keeping the Six
I've looked at swapping a 351W into my truck...and to be honest it just isn't worth the hassle.
What with motor mounts, drilling/cutting/torching the rivets out of the frame to swap in the new motor mounts,exhaust,radiator,etc. I just don't think its the kind of swap for me.
I've done many V8 for V8 swaps in years past, but i just don't think this one is going to happen.
I might have a line on a running 6 from a later 80's model. Don't know if its EFI or not.
I'm going to go back with the 1v Carter and basically all stock for now.
Anything i need to look out for while doing this swap?
Thanks in Advance
(The swap is going into a 83 F-100)
