Brutus may have a playmate

Hi everybody. How is everybody doing? Its been a while since i checked in. So much going on these days. Brutus needs to go to the hospital, the c6 is slipping pretty bad and going to have it rebuilt. I found this truck on facebook marketplace. we are going to look at it hopefully today. Both Nick and I always wanted a truck like this. My question is this. It is a disel truck with an automatic. I have the 300I6 from my parts truck that I would want to put in there. Will it bolt up to the transmission?

Hi George!

No, it will not bolt up.
300/4.9 shares a bell pattern with the Windsor engines.

The 460 and Diesel patterns are close (one bolt off) but still not close enough to each other.
Down to the flywheel & starter mostly.,

Weasels are in high demand.
You could flip it when you're done with it, for a tidy profit. 💡

wow. that will be a significant step back in power. I have to assume the diesel is dead or it would not be parked. reviving a 7.3 can be an expensive endeavor.
