Are They All The Same?
i have a 1938 Ford 2ton the i'm restoring into a hotrod and i want to put a farily big engine in it. i'm using the real body not a fiberglass one so its heavy, and i was wondering can i only put a certian engine in it made for trucks or are they all the same?

Not alot of electrical you might look at the I6 from the previous 90's body truck or the 351 from the same years. and that would be with a distributor, and injected if you get one from 89 or newer

they make carb intakes and distributor setups for the modulars now.

If your going to start a frame from scratch, then you can put anything you want in it.... just keep it ford!
least electrical: distributor and carb. More electrical, modern and cool: injection. Your choice of style.
