I installed a 4BTA in my WC-53 Carryall. For all practable purposes the engine compartment is almost exact of my FFPW. You can go to my Image Event site to see pictures of the install. For proper engine speed, you will want to consider an overdrive tranny and 4.89 ring and pinions. Then for safety, power disk brakes and Power Steering. Email me direct if I can help you in any way. But keep in mind, this is an expensive engine swap. Very little is available off shelf, lots of fab work. But the rewards are great !!! NO CUTTING of sheet metal has to be done. The album you want to look at is the 1943 Dodge Carryall.
