falcon engine swap
 

Hey guys I've built a few 5.0's around my neighborhood and now I have a friend of mine that has a Ford falcon with a 6 cylinder but wants to put a stock 5.0 on it. I can't find a web site for information about swaping the V8 into it. If you guys can help me will very great Also I was thinking of finding a complete EFI eng, trans and computer system and put it in the falcon or will it be easier on carb? Thanks for ur help guys

good starting point

I'n kind of thinking about a similar swap, there;s a 62 Falcon 2dr for sale by my apartment, they want around $3000 but I'm sure they'd drop a little. Its a slant 6 (i think) but the body is good. It just suck that I don't have a garage cause there's a lot I'd want to do to it if I got it (body work/paint, rearend/engine/trans swap, interior, etc.) so it probably wouldn't be too good of an idea yet. Any info about how tight a 302/351 would be to fit along with a 5 speed and an 8.8 rear???????

302-351 isnt tight at all but i think there might be a problem with the six k member ,

my friends was a 289 and we put a clevland in it no real problems but we did engine trans driveshaft and rear end in a long weekend.

K frame??
 

'Er, early Falcons, Comets, and Mustangs don't have "K frames".

So could a smallblock go in a falcon that originally came w/ a 6 cylinder? Would it need a different k-member/motor plates,etc????
