The transmission and the bell housing will bolt up to the 302 just fine just make sure you have the spacer between the block and bell housing from the I6. it is what your starter locates off of.Hello all! I am the proud new owner of a 1979 ford f150. The truck has a straight six with three on the colum. So basically my straight six is dog tired and i was calling aroung to see what a new motor would run me, what i found out was a 302 would only be a few hundred more bucks than the straight six. What i really wanted to know is if i purchased a crate motor from Kragens of the same year could i bolt the new motor up to my old tranny. I really like my three on the colum and i know i would have to change the front suspension, radiator, and add new motor mounts. But does anyone one know if i will be able to keep my old tranny? Thx a bunch
