Yup, it fits right in there! With the right parts of course. The right transmission. The bell housings of a 429 and an FE are not interchangeable.
You will need the correct engine mounts/towers. Actually the small block V-8 base mounts are preferablefor accepting the engine mounts for a 429/460.
See Crites Reproductions for most of the pieces and parts you'll need for this farely common swap.
Of course I have to ask....does your '68 still have the 390 in it? It sounds like it may not have. If the car is missing a lot of the original parts, you might want to go this route. |
