6 to 8 Motor Swap in a 65????????????

[vristang]

Where do I find info on swapping the 6 cyl. in a 65 to a windsor (there still has not been a decision on 302 or 351)? I tried doing a search but "351w" and "engine swap" return too many hits.

I have been contracted by a friend to offer technical advice and help with the labor.
I will need to know things like trans interchangability, motor mount issues, hood clearance for EFI intakes, oil pan clearance, any exhaust issues, the list goes on?

I am new to the older cars, but have done a fair amount of work on fox bodies.

I just asked tons of questions on here. Do you plan to build a monster engine or just a cruiser?

The motor will most likely be fairly mild compared to most of our standards. Maybe a cam.

The motor stuff does not bother so much as what rear end is in the car, and how much power can it take? I have not seen the car yet so I have no clue what I have gotten myself into yet.

I'm just looking for some insight as to what will need to be considered.

Are there any good threads in here that can get me started?

Thanks for the help.
