My father would like to know hard would it be to swap a newer (lets say early 90's) I6 into a 1976ish F250? I keep trying to convince him to do up a 351 or a 460 but he likes his little I6.
The truck is a 1976 F250 Highboy, with a 1979 F250 Custom body, and a earlier front/rear end. Not sure what year the current engine/trans is but I can supply a photo if needed.
Also, how much more work would be needed to put in a 351? Lets say we bought a complete parts truck to do this with, in either swap. He's not new to the 351, he had one in his Bronco.
This is the truck in question.
