What about a swap into a cougar?
By Paul G - 08/24/2002 12:21:06 PM; IP 216.192.79.5
Hawkrod,
I am collecting the parts and information needed to swap the 351 in my 69 XR7 convertible, for a FE. The Cougar currently has a 351 with small block C6. I have already gotten some great advice from other FE folks out there, is there any special problems that I should be on the lookout for?
I already have the FE C6 that was attached to the 390. I have the big block cougar radiator and fan. And I plan on running headers into my existing dual 2 1/2 exhaust. The C6 is from the F-250 that the 390 was in. Will if fit into my Cougar? I had to "customize" a few things to get the small block C6 to fit, how much different are the two trans? The FE is a D4TE block with the reinforced webs. I have not yet had it sonic checked but the drill bit test looks pretty good. I am going to have it baked, fluxed and soniced' this fall to determine what a safe bore will be. The engine ran pretty strong in my 73 250 hiboy, so I can't wait to get it in my Cougar. I recently got ahold a 428 crank and flywheel, and I am waiting on a H/M low rise 2x4. Any insight into making this swap easier would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul G.
