390
By Robin Scribailo - 04/21/2003 11:31:31 AM; IP 163.245.9.67
Hi,

I am (after 25 years) about to start restoring a 68 GT convertible mustang. It was originally a 390 but is now a 302. I would like to put the original engine back in. I could do the rebuild myself or have it done. Any suggestions on where to purchase, what to avoid and so on. How much would a basic engine rebuild cost? I've looked on ebay and there seems to be a decent supply of parts and motors online. I would like to keep the date codes authentic if possible. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Robin
