390s

By Tom L - 11/13/2005 1:59:21 PM; IP 63.157.68.214

I want to put a 390 from a 68 Merc Monterey in my 68 289-2V Fastback. The 390 Mustang engine mounts I bought seem to be fine on the car, but will not match the merc block. The mustang mounts have 2 holes parallel with each other, but the merc's 390 block will not accept this 2 bolt pattern as it had a 3 bolt mount. I guess I need to know if the Mercury 390 blocks were different than the Ford Mustang 390 blocks. I seem to be coming across too many obstacles to continue this adventure in big blocking my 68. Any info will be graciously accepted.

This thread, so far...
