re: 6cyl to a 302

[charlie81980]

I just purchased a 1968 F100. Everything stock with no rust for 1900.00 cant believe it. the only thing i would like to change is the engine. it has the inline 6 and i am going to put in a 302. i know that the 302/351 will bolt right up to my bell housing (C6) and know that i also have to change motor mounts too. but will i have to change the motor perches? will i have to adjust the trasmission heighth (up or down) at all if make this swap? if i need perches can anyone point me in the right direction where i can get new perches? having a hard time find them around here even used, or if anyone on this sight has some for sale. thanks - charlie; puyallup, washington state

You need the perches, I think they started using the 302 midway through 1969...

Check this out if you have not already...

Right on! thanks again! If anyone on here has done this swap let me know.

in the process but mine didn't have the engine or trans in it when I started so all I'm having to do so far is change the perches

I want to switch to a 300 from a 390.....I love inliners.

i will be keeping the 6cyl. great engine, i just want some power and sound. nice little rod.

hey lance if you do switch to the six keep me in mind I have the perches you will need. It would give me a good excuse to pull my 390 and put the right ones in

The six and the 390 use the same perches.
