I am going to redo my `1996 f 150 this winter, It came with a 300 6 cylinder motor but I have a friend who has a 5.8 that I can get very reasonable. My question is will the 5.8 buckle straight up to my transmission and what all would I need to change to make everything work? I also would like to switch the 5 speed for an automatic if that would work out? Sorry for the questions but I am not a mechanic and need all the help I can get. One option if you guys can help, Can I do some work to the 4.9 to get a little more power and keep it instead of swapping out?
