I am resto-modding a 68 coupe, 200ci stock engine. It is the original numbers matching engine that was in the car from the factory, and I am wondering if I should keep the engine with the car?
I am putting a 351 in it.
Right now, there is very little collector value in a t code Mustang. However, if the car is likely to still be around in 25-30 years and unmolested '68's of any stripe are rare, then it might be a good idea to have the 200 available.
But I'm not so interested in making an all original car, since there are a ton more inline 6 68 coupes.
I don't think this is true anymore. If that was I would see several 6 cyl mustangs at car shows I go to. There has only been 1 situation when I was not the only 6cyl mustang and I have been to about 10 in the past 2 years.
Might want to keep the engine just because nobody will want to give you anthing for it. If you could get $200 I would take it but I find that unlikely.
