Should be fairly easy except for the wiring for the computer controls and the automatic overdrive transmission. If the wiring doesn't scare you,none of the mechanical work will. The 55's came stock with the Y-Block V-8's,and everybody on the planet was swapping big block FE engines into them in the 60's using all Ford parts.
If you have never done this sort of thing before the best advise I can give you is to find somebody who has done engine swaps before,and get them to help you. Chances are you don't even have a cherry picker or the other tools needed to complete the swap,and they will.
ok heres my question, my 81 Ford F150 has a 302 Automatic and posi rear end. how hard would it be to swap that over to this 55 Ford, deal is im selling my 65 Dodge D100 for something older. id like to get that 55 ford and do the swap with the drive train in my 81 ford. how hard would it be? this drive train in that 81 is immaculate. not a drip of oil. doesnt smoke. i drive this truck daily. id like to save up atleast 500 bucks before i do the swap for back up funds. im working at walmart so it will take a while so i better get to work:whip:
