Hello everyone. I hope you all can give me plenty of advice because I don't know much about Ford. Brought a 66 mustang home that'll be my wife's. It needs rust repair in a lot of the usual spots but that shouldn't be a problem. It's no where near as bad as all the rust areas I just repaired on my 50 Chevy truck project.
Factory 289, 3 speed auto, one with big dot little dot. 5 lug drums all around. It is missing the motor, but still has trans and a p/s pumping hanging under the hood.
What my wife wants.
Daily driver, a/c, and keep it automatic.
Any 302 will bolt up? Are some years better than others? Keep factory p/s? I plan to upgrade front drums to disc, install dual m/c and add a proportioning valve. Factory trans worth rebuilding?
Thanks!
