Well, sounds like I am getting different opinions on this. Otherwise, does anyone know of a detialed guide of someone converting a v6 small block to a v8 big block online that I could look at to get some ideas?

So, it is possible to put this engine in there, but like I thought I would need to do some surgey to the car which I was hoping I did not have to do. Thankfully I was going to upgrade the suspension system anyways because I can't live old sytle suspensions really. Although, I was wondering when you are saying that is has an 8" or not do you mean the axles or brakes or what? So, you think the transmission is really going to work without inpairing the abilites of the motor, because I want to get top performance out of this motor. So putting this motor in is possible but with surgey :(

Hello, this is my first post to this forum, and sort of new to cars so be easy on me. Well first thing is I am acquiring a 1969 Mustang with a V6 with an automatic. I was wondering is it possible I can take an engine from a 1971 Lincoln which is a 429/460 and just drop it in the Mustang and work? From what I dug up the engine was the same engine they used in the Thunderbird just they modded it a little so it could move the Lincoln around, and it is part of the 385 series and mustangs can use those engines without mods from what I know. They are DOVE C Heads if that helps any. Just need some reassurance on this not sure if you can just take it and drop it in and make it work without doing anything seriously drastic.
