This may seem a dumb question but here goes
I have a 95 F250 with a 4.9 inline 6 now the muffler and tail pipe are rotted but I have a brand new muffler and tail pipe on a 1973 GMC motor home with a 350 sb v8 motor is shot and is going to go for scrap. Can I put the muffler from the 350 on the 4.9 without causing performance problems or engine damage. The exhaust on the motorhome cost almost $600 and I dont want to lose it if I can use it on the ford. I put it on and with it on you cant hear the truck running it is like a car. In this time of the economy saving money is important.

So long as the muffler piping has the correct hook ups for the 02 sensors and catalytic converters. It will probably have to be shaped to fit around components of truck underbody. Other than that, I wouldn't see why it would hurt as far as performance goes. At most it would cause some HP loss but nothing to noticable I wouldn't think.
