![]() Is it possible to swap a 300 inline 6 into my 66 coupe? It currently has a 200 in it that might be needing some engine work. A friend of mine has a junker '70 or so Ford truck and he said he would give me the 300 if I wanted it. I don't know anything about the 300 but I thought if it would fit (plus I would get it free) I would do that instead of rebuilding the 200. Let me know if i'm way off here... and as usual thanks for the help.
- will it fit? - If so, what else would need to be done for the swap (motor mounts, exhaust, etc)? - 66 with stock 200 and stock C4 tranny - Brake/ axle upgrades needed? ------------------ 66 Tahoe Turquoise Coupe Laser Red 96GT Ragtop Both are slow but easy on the eyes! |

![]() I've heard the 300 is too tall to fit right.

![]() Hey Michelle,
Thanks for the info. Too bad that engine is too tall as it would have been nice to do a free engine swap. When I do get to engine rebuilding time is it possible to bore the 200 out to a 250? I know, I know, people always say if you're going to go to any trouble just get a V8 car but I just want to have a peppy six. I think they're cool little engines. Thanks again. ------------------ 66 Tahoe Turquoise Coupe Laser Red 96GT Ragtop Both are slow but easy on the eyes! |
