I thought your mustang was a V8.

Won't you need the transmission, bellhousing, and trans mount?
I have heard the trannys betw i6 and v8 are different too.

On a 66 the V8 Idler Arm, Pitman Arm, Center Link, Inner and Outer tie rods are different. I'm not sure about your year. Did you need to change any these when you installed the Disc Brakes?

oh yeah +1, the steering is different, well the linkage

You might be better off with a new exhaust system and fuel lines rather than one from a donor car.

The throttle linkage is different everything but the engine on your list id buy new no need to do it twice.

I didn't see the year of either the donor car (or yours, for that fact). But if its a 67, you're in an easier position. I'm guessing it isn't a 68 or later since you stated a 289.
