I've run into a few guys that keep telling me to visit the salvage yard and pickup a 5.0L EFI engine and tranny to swap out. They tell me it'll improve the gas mileage as well as overall performance I get out of my 68.
Is this true and is it an easy swap. I have a engine hoist and stand that my uncle gave me but I've never attempted to remove the current engine as it runs ok.
I'm no gear head, but I can turn a wrench and use tools. Is this an easy swap to convert everything? Seems a bit daunting when I think about it.

Thanks!
