Hello All,

I stumbled upon this on FB. (<<Link)

It's right down the road from me. My plan is to remove it from the car then have the scrapper come get the car.

I'm thinking I could use the engine and mate it to a E4OD trans and use that in my truck.

Am I dumb or is this a viable swap?

Obvsiously it's a Ford but turn your Ford haters and let me know if fitting it all into my truck would be too difficult.

My Truck

1984 C20 3+3 with a 350 v8 and heavy duty turbo trans, 3 speed. 4.10 rear axle. 2wd.

The engine bay has a TON of empty space.

The Lincoln:

1978 Mark V with 460 v8. Per the ad starts up as is with a jump.

Thanks!
Thats sad cus thats one of my fave lincolns! Looks like it went thru a flood.
