that engine went to 341cu.in. in 55 and 368 for 56-57. also a FE ford 390 is the same phisical size and is a simple swap.

This thread has been moved from the Classifieds section.

 

The LYB engines including the 317 have a bellhousing pattern that is unique to that family of engines.  The Ford FE bellhousing bolt pattern is different although if not paying close attention, they can be mistaken for being the same.  Due to this difference, transmission options should be scoped out before jumping into the swap.
