by rehreh07 Sat Jun 07, 2014 9:37 pmSo I have been wanting to get a little more power out of my 62 E van. The 144ci is fun but isn't going to cut it forever. I have done some research and would like to put in 200ci i6 since no modification of the dog house is needed.
my form brothers have been very helpful and telling me then straight 6 out of an early Mustang would be my best bet. But after doing some more research I read here on the forums that's a side loader transmission in my 62 may not be enough to handle the power of the 200 cubic inch straight six. so I guess my next question is what type of top loader 3 speed transmission should I look for? And also what all will I need to transfer from my old transmission to a 3.03 toploader 3 speed?? what will i all need to make a top loader transmission work on an early 60's mustang straight 6 in my 62 econoline?? Is there a easier way to to achieve a little bit more power with reliable transmission then route that I have stated?? Any help and guidance would be great.
