Ford Y Block - need help

I've got a 57 Ranchero with a froze 272. I want to drop something in it just to motor around the yard while working on the body. I found a 292 pretty cheap close by. Will it bolt it? Old Ford engines are not my thing. Any other ideas. Central coast of CA. Thanks.

 

Yep ,all the Y blocks should interchange no prob. as far as the basic engine goes. Some of the old engine accs. may need to be swapped.

 

i did a swap from a 223 to a 292 last year in my 58 fairlane. i got a lot of left over parts from the 292. if you need any you can always pm me, i was planning on going to the beach again sometime soon, im in bakersfield, i went to arroyo grande not that long ago, nice town

yep it should drop right in.. If it came out of a truck or a t-bird it will have a mounting plate on the front at the bottom of the timing cover but you won't need that i don't think
