Car Engine into Truck
Hello,
I have a friend who has a 1940 Ford truck and has just purchased a recked Mustang and wanted to know if it was possible to take the engine and the transsmision out of the Mustang and put it in his Ford truck. If you could let me know as soon as possible that would be great. Thx.

Sure can put the Mustang motor into the 40 truck. There's even kits available to make the mounting easier. We used the 302 & 4 speed tranny from a Mustang donor for our project. Check out my gallery for some ideas.

If you're not sure what engine the Mach 1 has, count the bolts on one valve cover. That will get us in the right engine series at least. Also be sure to specify V8 or V6.
Before anybody throws something, I had a '75 M II Mach 1 with the mighty 1.7L V6.
