Hello all,
i have a 1968 Mustang coupe that i am restoring. i am a newbie and doing everything myself (paint, body, and so on).
i purchased the car with a 289 engine and automatic transmission - i believe it is your standard C4 transmission.
here is a link to my documentation site:

someone has asked me if i want to buy their 390 engine and swap out my 289 engine (that came with my car).
1) will a 390 fit in the engine bay of a 1968 mustang coupe?
2) he wants to sell the engine for 150.00. is this a fair price?
also - are there any other considerations i need to take in to account?
for instance - do i have to find a new transmission to fit the 390 engine?
ANY advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
thank you,
mark
