My son has a '63 Econoline with a 170 that's getting tired. It's his daily driver, so the plan is to build another 6 on the engine stand and swap engines over a weekend so he'll stay mobile. I figured as long as we'll be buying another engine it'd be a good time to swap a 200 or 250 into it (already installed a 9" rear).
I searched the forum, but didn't get a clear idea of what would be the cleanest swap. Are there certain years 200's that will bolt up to the existing 3 speed manual, where others require fabrication? What other details are there to consider with this kind of swap?
