Big Block Swapping a Ford Econoline | Subtitles, No Commentary

This is our 1966 Ford Econoline. We're engine swapping it from a 200 to a 300 as well as changing it from a 3 speed to a 3 speed with overdrive. The 300 is considered to be the big block of the Ford inline 6's. The 200 has been very reliable and has made several cross country trips. With another trip coming up we decided its time for more power and better gas mileage as well as a few other improvements. Turn on subtitles/CC's if you'd like explanations throughout the video.
