f250 question
i saw an f250 for sale. Its a small tow truck type. I looked under the hood hopping it had a 460. It looked kind of small, i would think it would have the big block but not sure. Anyone know if those come standard with a 460?
If its a small block, can i put it into my truck with a big block? Will the motormounts and all drive line ect all transfor over to my truck without welding needs and all that ****? Basically can it be done in my back yard?

An 80-86 F-250 could have either a 351m, 400, 300-6, 302, 351w, 460 or a 6.9 diesel. Nailing down the year will help determine what engine it has. Either that or get the VIN and post it here and someone could decifer it for you.

if it has a 351m or 400 in it you should have no problem dropping a 460 in it other then buying the 460
