Ok, I know you guy´s hate it when I do this, but hey I gotta be me. So I´m not even done with my first project (though it is coming along quite nicely, pics soon), I recently could not resist buying my second. There is a 76 40 here that I have had my eye on for a few months in a secret hidden location, price was high but they caved and I bought it for 400 bucks. Bit of rust but not as bad as the first, PERFECT frame, missing it´s motorvator. So... there are people down here (Peru) that can make adapters to put nearly any motor to any trany and do it all the time. So, I have located an abandoned (I know, sounds bad but listen) 60 something dodge truck with a slant six in it that I can yank out and at least take a look at its innards for free. My guess, in light of the rep of these motors that it is probably rebuildable .My question involves merely the general usability, dimensions and so on, as a replacement for the F that was in there???? Anyone have any thoughts? I realize a retrofit deisel would be nice but I would not be happy with anything except a turbo D and those are going to make my wallent sad, so if this will FIT, I know they can be made to run reall well, they even race these things, saw someone on the net showing a 10 something second quarter mile car with a normally aspirated slant 6 in it.
Thanks, and though I have donned my best asbestos leisure suit, please keep the flames down to a dull roar?
