Author Topic: v8 conversion 65sixbanger New Member Member # 6157 posted                              right now i have a 65 coupe that needs a motor and tranny rebuild (200Cu.in. and C4 tranny i believe). I can't find a running 6cyl motor and the price that its gonna cost to get the 6 cylinder running is just making me wonder if i should just do a swap. What i want to know is how hard is it to swap and what do i need to change in order to make the v8 fit? I think i'm just gonna get a stock 289, nothing special. I tried to look for a good right up but couldn't find one so if you can help me out or link me to a write, that would be great. Thanks.

Here is a link that should get you started. http://home.comcast.net/~jelerath/mustang/main/main.html Posts: 5302 | From: San Francisco | Registered: Sep 2003  |  :
