Hey I recently purchased a 4 speed, 253 WB Panel Van (will check year if neccessary) and was wondering is it possible to simply "swap" the 253 for a 308 without introducing any brackets and would I need an engineering certificate? If an engineerin certificate was necessary, if I used a WB 308 would I still require one?
Also, would I need a new gearbox, tailshaft diff etc with the 308 upgrade?
Thanks for any help!

Straight swap over, but make sure it's a 4speed or trimatic 308 block, not a TH350/400 version. The 308 was optional in all WB's so an Engineer's certificate isn't needed, but you need a WB or VC/VH engine. The M20 4-speed is the same as an M21 as far as |

If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? |
