I would love to put a Chrysler engine and trans in it, but I have a friend that is giving me a low mileage 302 and C4 trans.
I figured I could use the saved money to do something else on the truck. I am still early in the planing stages as the truck runs fine with the original engine.
I am curious to see what needed to be done to install the Ford drivetrain.
It's an easy install from the looks of it, just 2 welded on motor brackets and a fabricated trans cross member. It's actually a pretty crappy job quality wise. I do plan on upgrading to a 5.7 Hemi/trans and 86 the Ford 8 inch rear for a B body Dana 60 that I already have.
