I have a 1967 mustang with a v8/c4 that is in need of a rebuild. I also have a salvage running low milage 1996 v6. I am wondering if the v6 would bolt in to the 67 with the aod trans without to much difficulty. I figure this would gain me a fresh enigine with probably more power than my old v8 and air conditioning. I would take as much off of the 96 as possible and than part out the rest. Hopefully that would net some $$ for a new paint job.
Comments? Critiscism?

Well you'll need to make motor mounts a wiring headache and change the fuel pump.

Sounds like alot of work for not much in return. Personally if I had my choice, it wouldnt be that engine. I have one in my 98 and its sad..I think they are 150hp at the flywheel

yeah, i think it would be easier to rebuild it. let me rephrase that, JUST REBUILD IT!

ya, rebuilt it or go all out and get a modular 4.6, id love to get my hands on one of those

lol not a big fan of the 4.6, motors. if i were you i'd rebuild the 302, wont be too much and you will me way more satisfied,

im just saying the 4.6 if he wanted to go with the fuel injection. but it would be so much cheaper and easier to just rebuild the 302 and some fun.

The mod motor is a lot of work for a tiny pay off and they have a long list of problems fords ditching it in the next 2 years for a push rod v8.Id use a 429scj over any mod motor any day 375hp 450 foot pounds stock or a nice 351c ho.

modular in a classic, ill pass

In your situation a rebuild, on the 302 is a simple solution as compared to changing to a EFI. For drivability, the EFI'sare much more mild mannered and fuel efficient, and can make good horsepower. For those of us that actually have Modulars in our classics, we love them.
