Looking for some advice
I'm in some need for advice, as too I'm really naive about these cars being as I I got a modular. My father in law has a 66 coupe with a 289 (rebuilt but has about 100k on the engine and over 200k on the body). The question comes that he has about $2000 in his hand and it's starting to burn. He's been waiting for the 289 to burn out and I think it's finally on it last leg. What options does he have from here in this price range (he will be doing all the labor himself) in terms of crate/donor engines, should he rebuild and go from there, etc. His ultimate goal is to have around 300rwhp and rwtq while maintaining everyday drivability and reliability. Thanks guys.
