My grand father had a 1958 Ford Failane that he bought new. My oldest brother bought it from him in 1978 and now he is considering selling it. I would like to buy it for sentimental reason and because it is cool. It is a 2 doorpost car with a 6cyl. engine. I would like to put a 292 Y block in it. Would this be sacrilegious seeing that it is all original with about 35K on the odometer? I know that the car isn't highly sought after as far as a classic. How difficult would the swap be? It has a 3 on the tree which I would image would have to be changed over to a 4 on the floor. Did they come with this set-up?
