Default 85 f150 302/c6 swap into 70 fastback
Found a good deal on a 85 f150 with a good 302 / c6. Will the c6 bolt up in my 70 with no problems ? Anything else I should be concerned with ? Would I need to change the distributer ?

If the truck is a column shift the shift linkage will not work. Will need to change the valve body.

I'm assuming the truck is a 2 wheel drive? If it's a 4X4, the transmission won't work. The main shaft won't be long enough to add a tailhousing to it.

I doubt it has a c6...c4 is much more likely for a 302.

Why not just drive the truck?
