Most basic motor swap question.
So I have a inline 6 300ci motor with the manual four speed (t-18?) and I'm looking for a V8 with an automatic trans. I'd like to know what the most basic motor and trans swap would be for this application. It's going into a 1965 F100 2WD Step side. I just don't have a ton of room and I have just basic shop tools so I don't want to go buy a bunch of crap to get a new motor in.
Thanks for the help guys!

352 or 390 and c6. Problem is you will also have to change the column or get a floor shifter for an auto. You will need to buy or rent a engine lift either way. I'm not an expert on motor and trans mounts so someone else will need to answer that.

bub, in your case getting another truck could be easier, and cheaper unless you have some kind of attachment to the truck. IMHO
Engine & tranny swapping is a pretty major undertaking.
