Thumbs up

I need help finding a 289 to replace for my inline 6 in my 67, coupe.
I could also use somebodys stand point on what would be better in show.

Have you already swapped out the suspension or do you have all the parts to do it with? That's your first chore.

Depends on what kind of shows you're going to.

Show? Depends on what class you show in. swapping engines usually puts you in the modified class and that's a tough class to compete in.

As for the cost, I've always heard it was cheaper to buy a 289 than to change a I-6 and do it correctly.
