68 looking to upgrade performance
hello folks, I am new to the forum
I have a 68 convertible that I have owned for many years but has been in storage since the early 90s. It originally has a 200 straight 6 and , for no other reason that wanting more power, I am interested in putting a 302 in it. Can anyone give me the short answer as to what kind of modifications need to be made or is this a fairly straight-forward boltup conversion? Both would be automatic transmission, currently no power steering or a/c. Also, I have spoken with a number of owners who say the 302 is best, others say go with the 289. Any input there?
Thanks.
