Question Will it fit??

Can I get a 345ci with trans to fit in my '54 F800? Want to replace the Lincoln 317ci.

Thanks

As I say.. if there a will there a way... I shoved a 502ci in a 85 camaro.. Man did that car move afterwords.. All it took was a plasma cutter and a tig welder to make room for it.. Best of Luck and have a great time at it

Heck, I think you could fit a tugboat engine in an F800! Like Mad says, where there's a will there's a way. Notice I said 'fit'...you may have to modify your engine mounts a bit but it will certainly fit. Go for it!

If I could find a good cab, fenders, hood, and so on for my F600, I would go for the 454 Shebby with a 6 sp. allison auto. being that is what I have available. Problem being the poor ole 55 is a rusted out hulk. As is, it would be like putting a brand new dime in a goat's butt.
