Just a crazy idea
Has anyone ever seen a 3.8 supercharged SuperCoupe engine in a 1963 Econoline panel van, I just bought a whole wrecked 1993 Supercoupe for parts and got to looking at the engine and AOD tranny.....the car is complete and I wont have to track down any parts, I have the completer EFI Harness and I have the engine cross member and doghouse out of a 1967 econoline and the 9 inch rear also with 3.50 gears....I was going to do a 300 EFI conversion but i am thinking about a 3.8 TBird SC conversion, and please anyone that has put a AOD in a econoline, the shifter is the only problem that I cant solve in my mind, I am going to build a custom tranny crossmember
