RE: FE Swap To Small Block

You can buy an automatic overdrive for the FE for about $2500 from Lentech. They may just sell their bellhousing so you could get your own trans. If I were doing it, and I HAD to have an automatic, I'd call Lentech or Art Carr and have them build the whole thing. The AOD wasn't designed for the FE, so who knows how long a junkyard AOD will last. They could also give you advice on your crossmember, driveshaft length, etc.

Here's a link where someone was looking at an AOD behind an FE. http://mix.twistedpair.ca/pipermail/galaxie/2001-October/023023.html

I don't think I'd fool with converting an FE to fuel injection in a truck. It may make sense in a Cobra or some other sports car, but if you're just looking for MPG and better cold-weather performance, it isn't cost effective. Even if it gave you 3 or 4 mpg, you'd have to drive a heck of a lot to recover your costs.
This thread, so far...
