if the current engine runs and the trans works go with what you have. Otherwise, a small block Ford (302,351 W) is a good choice and it uses stock mounts to install the engine. If an overdrive is not wanted, then a C-4 is a good choice -if a standard trans is what you want then a four speed or a 5 speed (O/D) are your choices.


First decide on what you want, then do it the way you want.


The first items that you should consider working on are the brakes and fuel system. Safety systems should be the first consideration.
