RE: what will win
if its a stock 289 u got em
, if its a stock 302 w/ a 2 barrel its rated at 220 hp and would probally be a close race b/c hes heavier. if its a stock 302 w/ a 4 barrel its rated at 250 hp and your toast.if your talking about a 351w then dont even embarass yourself.

RE: what will win
Really depends on the transmission, and the driver, and the model, but if it's the 302 or larger you're probably toast, actually more than likely, the V6 is toast. Remember 1968 was one of the best years for the old Mustang in terms of being a true muscle car.

RE: what will win
The "281" is the motor out of my car[&:]
Like previously stated if it's a stock 289 or a 302 then you should have him. I have a friend with a 69 351W and even with his traction problems there's no way it would lose to a V6. Just make sure he doesn't try to pull a fast one
