Engine swap
Hi...I have a 65 Ford F-100 with a 300 in line 6 and 3 speed in the column. Today I recieved a running 460 with a C6 Tranny. What do I have to do to put this in and is there anything I need to look at on the engine as far a front sump or rear sump oil pan, on my 300 I have like 3 inches between the oil pan and the crossmember. I know I need to change my radiator, but is there anything else.....Thanks alot...

If the motor was from a 79 or older Ford truck, go back and get the frame-to-motor mounts and it should be a easy swap. It will need a new driveshaft, any good shop can help you here. Do alot of measuring around the steering box, make sure there is enough clearance, etc.. Good luck with your truck!
