Engine Swap
I bought a 1980 Ford Thunderbird with a 302 last night. I want to put the engine and trans. in my '61 f100. I just have a few questions for you guy's.
1.Is there a good bolt in conversion kit for the engine and trans,and where can I get it?
2.What type of auto trans. it has?
3.What headers would work the best?
4.Is this a fairly easy swap?
Thanks for the help.

Carolina Classics and maybe Ken has the kits on the online store. You will most likely have a C5 or C3 tranny with OD. You will have a lot of converting to do, but if you are handy most anything can be done
