I need some help on this. I have a '72 F engine. Recently the rod bearing spun on the crank. Good news it didn't blow a hole through the oil pan or destroy the cylinder. Bad news it is a costly repair to do it right.
Im thinking of finding another F engine. Possibly a 2F. From what I gather, it should be a easy swap. Im not sure about the transmission. Should I keep the 3 speed or find the 4 speed that would go with a 2F. Does that change the transfer case, drive shafts, etc. Or is it a pretty easy swap out and in?
If I stuck with the 3 speed, can that be mounted to the 2F? Im ok with the 3 speed unless at 55mph #4 gear allows me to cruise a lower rpm.
Not sure. Im still in shock about the engine. It is a pretty sad day since the girl when down.
thanks for your help!
