Good Morning! I was told be a local kid home from tech school, that some ford truck and tractor parts were interchangeable. I was wonder if this is true, and if it is , how much of a job would it be to transplant a 268DT out a 7710 tractor into an F150 pickup. The motor does not seem too big physically, and for what I want it has plenty of power. What does every one think? Thank you, and enjoy the day. zoidberg

Without getting into what would be required to actually accomplish the installation, I don't think it is anywhere worth it. 110 or 120 flywheel hp isn't going to make too many guys happy in a full size pickup.

Had a relative did somthing like that. The 6 cylinder diesel from a Ford 6000 is very close externally to the 223-262 gas pickup engine. He was able to fit it to an early 60's Ford pickup. It broke the crankshaft after a year or so,but did make good fuel economy untill the blowup.

The only parts I know of that will interchange would be the spin-on oil filters and possibly some ignition parts. Ford did build a small panel delivery truck back in the 30s-40s that used the same 4 cylinder engine as the 2N and 8N tractors. Its intended use was inner-city deliverys where horsepower and speed were not a big concern.

It sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen. Most of the Ford interchanging stuff was older gas engines. The tractor engine is a 4 cyl diesel. Truck is either going to have a I6 or V8. I'd say nothing will match up and the engine RPM will be too low for the transmission gearing. I changes a 300 I6 to a 302 V8 and it cost over $1500 extra in assorted parts that I never thought about. (and it bolts right up!) Things like had to have a particular flywhel from 1 certain year, new engine mounts, a specific oil pan to fit the front axle.

Did you say you exchanged an I6 for a 302? I have a ford van w/a I6 that I would like to put in a 302. What kind of headache am I asking for? The van is a 94' the motor is an 86' lincoln. Do you have any info or a place to

Sure did, I'll never do it again.

You might have an easier time with an automatic transmission and something not 4x4.

Headaches: Got the engine from a local machine shop. Fresh OH complete. I had to put it together. It was a '74-'81 series (that is one set of balance, older is another and later changes again. Bellhousings bolt up. Put it in an '85 1/2 ton pickup 4x4. Problems: custom make engine mounts, needed an oil pan off a particular model truck, has to have an '81 flywheel (drilled for hydraulic clutch), put in a points dristributor. Then I needed all the stuff like accessory plate for alternator, had to make a slave cylinder linkage. Got it all in and it wouldnt turn over. While the bell housing bolts up the '85 aluminum bell housing has 'stuff' that jambs the flywheel so I had to get an older cast iron flywheel. And on and on. Took 6 weeks and an extra 2 grand. Never again, I learned that vehicles are made to be disposeable. Then there is all the stuff like starters, carburators, that dont fit. I'll be glad to talk you through it much as I remember. My email should be un masked.
