Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Have 1983 f-150 auto transmission and 300 motor..will it fit in a 1988 f-150 that had a 302 and is  a 4x4  

1 Answer

400

it can be done, but the 300 is longer and you will need to be creative and will more then likely have to make some mounts I think you might also have to move some wire's, and maybe the gas ling might have to change drive lines? I would have to see to know? I have done a few, and always figured it out, but going in you should know you will have to hake some changes, make engine is level,and you have room for your fan
