Hey guys,
I was recently told that i probably need to do a complete engine overhaul on my 66 289. Before i go ahead and tackle that project myself or send it to the shop to have it done, i was wondering if it might not just be easier, cheaper, and or better to just buy a rebuilt engine. Now i know that this would decrease the value of the car, so i wanted to make sure that before i worried about it that someone hadnt aready changed the engine in my car. So, where do i look for a number on the engine and how do i make sure that it is the right one? And does my logic sound good so far?
