289-302 in a s197?
Ok i have a 289 that i rebuilt, that was going in my 67 coupe. I have a few thoughts about the engine. Should it still go in the 67 or in my 07 coupe that curently has a 4.0 v6?

Problem is, a 289 isn't gonna move the car a whole lot better that the 4.0 and for all the troubles of a conversion, it's not worth doing it if you don't push close to 500hp IMO.

Yes sir I do.
IIRC, in Texas at least, it's illegal to put an engine from anything older than the vehicle year. So if for what ever reason I wanted to swap in a 98 V6 into my 2000, I couldn't do it legally.
