check out what's involved in the swap at http://www.geocities.com/a65ragtop/V.../i6_to_v8.html (its in the FAQ section)

You can make a 6 go fast. Major advantage is less weight, so can make it handle better too. However, nothing sounds like a V8 and the sixes will always be worth less money. You'll spend more than you'll recover in either case.

good luck

 

if you end up keeping the I6 you should check out: www.fordsix.com

 

V8..... would make it a "Muscle car". Thats my two cents....

 

thanks for all the info the inline six will get and upgrade but i still would like to read any articles for doing the swap

ok guys you made me do it the 1967 inline 6 was sold today and i bought a 1967 289 v8 with a rebuilt engine with papers from a well know shop and rebuilt trans (c4) with the heavyduty components and B&M saturday nught specail torque converter and shift kit......and the body and floors and glass is all original with only a rust spot on the left rear quater panel ....i have died and gone to heaven............did i mention that the suspension was fully upgraded and had new leafs and kyb shocks and dual flowmaster exhaust with rolled GT tips and tri- Y headers .......................the only bad thing i see is the headliner is saging...........pls tell me i made the right choice

 

The onlybad choice is if you didn't buy one when you have the chance at a nice one..GOOD buy[sm=happy046.gif]

 

look, if this is gonna be YOUR SPECIAL CAR for a long time or forever....whats the point of even having bought it if your afraid of doing what YOU want to it....its not super cheap but still, if you save over a few months and buy parts as you get the money, its really not that insane.....

 

also, if your car is already hot nice paint on it and no rust....that more than pays for your parts for the swap....body work and paint jobs are friggin not cheap.....

 

no i am not afraid of doing work on any car but the v8 swap on the inline six would have cost me the same amount or more for what it cost me just to pay for this car and sell the inline six ....and yes i plan on keep this for a long time
