I have a 74 F250 truck with an original 360 that is on it's last legs. I found a 390 with stamp code D3TE. The
question is, will it swap out? I heard before about perches and all. Any ideas ? D3TE tells me it's a 1973 390.
Were there any changes from 73 to 74 motors?

Re: 360/390 motor swap
As Duck said....but be sure you are not getting another 360, unless you want one. Far more 360s in that era than 390s
