64 ford 4x4

Post by rkibbon »

What do I need to install a 352 from 66 2x4 into the 64 4x4, bell housing same or different, can the mount from the 66 work in the 64?? Any clearance problems??? New to this, but I had a 64 w/352 yrs ago, but wrecked.

you will need an fe bell housing w/the motor mounts on it also the cast iron fe timing cover for use w/the front motor mount...... what is currently in the 64? 292?

backwards of installing the 292 in a 66 f250 4x4 like i did.
the 292 is 2" longer than the fe, i had to move the front crosssmember forward, i would think you must move it back toward the cab or make a plate.

I used frame mounts off of a 76 f-250 4x4 for my 63 4x4

I had to box in the frame about a foot on each side and bolt the frame brackets to the frame.
I was going to try the bell housing and timing cover mount but I couldn't find the timing cover.

I think there is a cross member available for this swap don't know if it will work on the 4x4.

Glad to see you made it on here! I have never messed with a 4X4 and prefer 6 cylinder engines myself.

Shot me an email sometime and maybe we can get together and discuss our trucks!
