I have been on the forums with engine trouble on my 67 coupe I6. I debated swapping out for a V8, but that is too big of a project right now for me. From the advice I have gotten, I have two choices, rebuild the engine I have to try to figure out the problems I am having, low compression on cylinder #3 and oil blow back or buy another I6 engine and drop it in.
After some research I found, what I think is a matching engine to drop in. It is only $350 and looks in good shape, form the outside. i know that does not mean much
I have a few questions ?
1. I have a 67 coupe I6 (engine #C6DE). The purchased engine is from a 65 Mustang (engine #C5DE). Will this fit with my 3 speed transmission ?
2. The purchased engine is out the car. The seller says it runs and is in good shape. What can I do to inspect the engine before I buy it ?
3. I read that there are two different bolt patterns for the 60's mustangs. 8.5" and 9". How do I confirm this and does it matter, can a converter be used
Attached are some pics of both engine.
The clean engine on the stand is the one I am looking to purchase
The other one, in the car is my engine with issues
Thanks in advance
