300 I6 engine swap
I bought a 1979 F250 4x4 last year, and it got about 5 mph with the C6 transmission and 400 cid engine. So I scrounged a 300 straight six engine and NP 435 transmission to swap in. Okay, I'm not a great mechanic, but I do have the old shop manuals and a lot of determination and no money. So, everything was going along well, until i realized the engine towers from the donor rig (a mid 70's f-150) don't work with my frame. Are there towers for that rig and engine combination, or will I have to fabricate some? And if the latter is true, what's the best way to weld some towers up?
