302 v8 swap
Im just not that big on the 318 and 360 I want somthing out of the norm I want it to be diff if I could chose a dodge motor it would be a newer one like the 392 hemi or the v6 that comes in the new charger but that take cash i don't have went I could do the ford swap for almost free and have a better rally truck
it sounds interesting to me. last month i had stuck abuilt chevy 305 in my truck for a week at the request of my girlfriend for my saftey(it was rough month). worked out well till i stuffed the motor back under the hood of my trans am.
its your build, have fun with it.

Just a thought to ease up on the work load maybe sell the Ford and buy a Dodge with the engine you need or trade someone so you won't have to spend $1 on a new engine/truck or even spend anytime building crazy mounts ect.
But I say if your down for tons of work on a stock engine then go for it. Post up details and plenty of pictures.

trust me you don't want the new v6 (3.6 pentastar) it's junk they haven't got it all worked out yet. we are seeing alott of issues with the #2 heads and vvt system. it's gonna be a good motor it just has some bugs in it.
as for the 392
i've often dreampt of that myself

You want something different and then you are looking at a 350 with a T350? The most common engine/trans to go in anything custom in the history of automobiles?
Anything custom and Mopar that isn't a big block is different, even in a Mopar.
