Re: engine swap

I believe the Ford you have is a v-8 so you will not need to regear the outdrive. I also believe that your shifting plate is mounted on the transome shield so you will nopt need to relocate it. I think all you will need is a engine coupler and a bellhousing. I would find a gm bellhousing first and be sure the rear mount holes line up with the transome shield. It should be a easy swap.
