inline 6 to big block
Hi im curious on what obstacles were faced by anyone swapping a inline 6 to a big block ford. are the motor mount towers in the right place? any comments are appreciated in determining whether or not i will swap out for a big block.

Which "big block" (chevy term) are you referring to? FE's or 385 series? IMO, an FE would be your best bet. Go to the junkyard and pull a 390, along with the motor perches, mounts, and it's transmission, out of an F250. Rebuild both how you want 'em (see FE forum) and drop 'em in.

move the mount towers, replace the bellhousing and radiator
