Considering swapping a 390 into the '57. I've read some of the older posts here about this and I want to make sure about a few things before I get into it.
The car has a T85 3-speed OD which I'd like to keep. Will the 390 bolt up to it or will I need an adapter, or a specific bellhousing?
Is there a certain oil pan that must be used?
What's a good intake to use? The engine will probably be stock or pretty close to it.
A fe stick bellhousing is all you need. The front sump pan (fe) fits fine.
very easy swap,any aftermarket alum. intake will work fine. use 58 ford 332 motor mounts. hope this helps Tom
