65 big block swap

Post by F1Kiesel »

I have a 65 F250. Looking to do a swap from an Fe352 to a big block 572. Anyone done that? It’s basically a 460 block so I’m guessing the 460 engine mounts would work. Any issues with hood clearance?

You shouldn't have any hood issues.
L&L products should be able to help with mounts.
