Posted by JimG To use the 3-speed automatic behind that same 250 would be good too! TIA, Jim --Previous Message--

How about a 250 in the same car? Are there any 250's that are as easy a swap as the 79-down 200? If so, what donor vehicles should I look for?
: Hi, All

: I have a 1962 Falcon station wagon

: nice to have a later model 170
: engine that has hydraulic lifters,
: rather than the solid lifters in the
: 62's motor. This car has the
: two-speed Fordomatic transmission in
: it. Will a later model engine drop
: in and bolt up to the bell housing
: and torque converter in the '62, or
: would this upgrade be more involved?
: Since this is a daily driver,
: expense is somewhat of an issue.
