engine swap

I finally had some time to inventory my 67 econo van, (thanks Bill for the decode)
Besides having not much dash left I'm missing the carb to even try and get it started. The engine will turn over so I'm hopeful.

So any ideas on where to find a carb would be great or maybe even better yet anybody had any luck putting a small v-6 and auto tranny under the doghouse?

thanks

Dave

Which motor do you have? 240 I6

Dave, a 302 will fit, i bet a V6 will fit easy.

thanks Bill,

I have a 170 motor. I found this on Ebay Rebuilt Carter YF 6602S 1970-72 Ford 170-240 Carburetor
Do you think it would fit this engine?

I'm not sure if it will fit or not, I have a Holley carb from a 144, need's to be rebuilt....
I just bought a 61 econo 5 window pick up that came with it, i'm not going to use it.
So..... this is my e-mail, let me know if you want it.
