I am not sure if you have the exact same trans as I do but I have the original 3 on the tree with the original 292 in my '58 f100. Going on that I would say it is possible, there are others who will give you a more exact answer but that is a start.

YOTE SWAP

Just call the F100 Farm in Leicester NC. Jon is the best... coyote swapped and full custom suspension with body... out the door probably alot less than you'll pay other guys for just the chassis...

I know you are new to the forum but thought I'd share some advise when you are going though some of the threads and decide to reply, look at the date they were posted , this thread goes way back to 2009..

I really wish there as some kind of speed bump, like before typing out a reply, a pop-up that said "You are resurrecting a 25 year old thread, are you sure this is warranted?" Some forums automatically close threads for further response after an elapsed amount of time, requiring permission from a moderator to re-open and continue a conversation that has aged out.
