1973 F100 Engine Swap

Howdy!
I am going to replace my very tired 360 with a inline 6. I am open to any/all advice before I get started. Also, if anyone has a line on a good used 6 cylinder that will fit, please let me know. I live in Denver, but shipping could be a possiblity.

Thanks in advance
Alex

You might consider buying a rusted out or wrecked parts truck with a good engine. That way you will have all the parts you will need for the change over to a 300 I6. For instance, if your truck has a stick shift you will need the bell housing from the 300, if auto you must have the entire trans.
