A friend has informed me of an 87 f150. Running it just had a tree fall on the cab. Its being sold for 300 bucks.
This seems like a perfect opportunity for me to put a better drive train in my 65 f100.
What kind of headache can I expect if I were to do this?

engine should drop in and bolt up but not sure about the trans, might have to modify the mounts but it all should be able to be made to work

ha, thanks guys, i did have bigger fish to fry before i did that job (like replacing my cab mounts, which i started today and should finish tomorrow). my friend ended up buying the truck and fixing the roof so a new windshield would fit (the guy is a magician with metal). i think he gave the truck to a friend of his who needed one. for now i'll drive the truck as it is and slowly fix up the body and then i'll move on to the guts of it.
