Question How To? Books?

Is there a book(s) on installing differant size engines into Ford trucks?
Example: '87 F150 came stock with a FI 302. Its getting tired. Id like to install a larger (for towing) engine. Id like it to be at least 400cid or bigger and injected.
Is there a publication that walks me through the task?

So, this walks me through the process of engine swapping, pointing out whats needed to install a differant engine, and knowing what engines will bolt up to my transmission? What engines will and wont work, what is required as far as wire harness mods?

Borders is your friend. Check the automotive section and you'll find all kinds of books about hot rodding and cars. There's more than just coffee table books there.

If there's a book written on the subject, it's there.
