Title: 64 vs 68 390
Post by: Landlubberatsea on August 28, 2015, 03:59:41 AM

Looking for a possible swap out engine while the original is out for service.
Have seen a couple of reasonably priced 64 engines, one from a Galaxie and one from a T-bird and just wonders if there a more things that needs to be considered than the motormounts if to put one of these engines in a 68 Torino. Both engines and mine are/have been connected to a C6.
