Re: I6 to a 351w swap

I have an '89 F150 XLT Lariat with the fuel injected 5.0/c-4. you could probably find the right driveshaft complete at a local boneyard. I'd go with a bigger radiator for the extra water volume and flow, I mean , would you be stupid enough to rebuild an engine and then put a used oil pump in it? No one is that stupi......nevermind. My truck had a blown I-6 in it when I got it and the swap wasnt all that difficult. I lucked out and "found" a huge 4-core radiator out of an '88 3/4 ton while I was scrounging motor mounts and other stuff. I'm running the c-4 that was in my truck when I got it so I didnt need to swap driveshafts and flywheels and crap. I do, have one question......is there some reason your going from fuel injection to a carbed engine when your truck is probably already equipped with TPI?
