Questions Engine Swap, 352 to 300

Changing my worn out 352 to a 300 six for the time being, will likely rebuild the V8 in a couple of years. Can't afford to do everything at once! Is there any reason the stock size radiator would not work for the six? Same question regarding the alternator? Can I hook up the power steering pump to t...

Bellhousing

Can I make my '66 auto that is currently hooked to the stock 352 fit to a '66 300 six? What will be involved? I have the option of using the 4sp that is mated to the six but require a bellhousing as it is not available. What bellhousing will I need to fit the '66 4sp to the '66 300.

Thanks,
James

Thanks for all the help. I have the green dot on the shift indicator so I will assume at this point that I do in fact have the cruise-O-matic. What are the thoughts on rebuilding a COM?

It is routine with my 2.5 year old son. Weekdays to daycare and weekends for breakfast out, playground, swim lessons or a visit to the airport! He even knows what a choke is!

How to identify 352 & 390

Thanks for the help, seems my F100 did in fact come with a 352 in '66! I have been told by several people that I have a 390 but my engine tag claims a 352. Is it possible to determine the difference visually? Ignorance is not bliss!

Thanks,
James

I did utilize the decoder on the website but I too found that the Y engine code is not used until '67. Any thoughts?
