Help

I have a 1974 f-600 dump truck that has a tired 330 HD and 4 speed trans. with 2 speed axle. Was wondering if a 390 would be a good swap, I want something that will give me more power . Not sure what I need to be looking for that will bolt up to my bellhousing and trans. Any help and sugestions will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the site.

So the title to the thread should be: Can I swap 330 to 390 ?

I'm pretty sure you can but don't quote me on that.
There are so many engines and transmissions in that class it is hard to remember.

I can check my application chart or the shop manual for you.

Howdy and also welcome to the FTE site, i see your truck is a dumper probally you haul a lot of weight, i would intertain the idea of a 391 FT engine over a 390 FE engine. just my 2 cents worth..
