Engine Fit

Can a straight 6 engine from a 1968 Ford Custom fit in a 1967 Ford Mustang and fit a C4 transmission?

Can the Custom engine fit into the Mustang with no modifications and still fit the transmission?

Oh baby!!!
You are dealing with stuff from back in the day! I envy you. Back then there were small blocks and big blocks! If a motor were a small block it would only fit a small block bellhousing and vice versa. So yes if the motor is a small block and I am sure it is it will fit. You may need to make a few modifications but they are minor. Exhaust etc... This is from the day when a starter would fit practically all ford made. Maybe three starters? All had either a two bolt design or three bolt. If you needed a three bolt you merely pulled the two off and put a three bolt end on it! I had a 1981 F100 stepside that had a 300 ci six banger in it. When it died after a second overhaul I found a 67 or 68 289 ci and put in it. All I did to it was changed the little box that was either for a four or six or eight cylinder controller from the six to an eight. I then pulled a distributor from an eighties model 8 cylinder and put in the old 289. then I took a set of motor mount brackets from a junkyard truck and bolted to the back of the cross member and then a little sweat and it was running sweet as honey! Later after I killed the transmission (manual 3 with overdrive) because it could not handle the extra torque I put a c-4 in it. I killed it too and then put in a c-6. Life was good for a while... Old lead foot me I had to rebuild it again and then put in a 351 cleveland... That was a little harder but still doable. Life was good for a mechanic in those days. The Fords were engineered right and proper back then. Now there are probably over 300 starters made for ford vehicles on the road today. Why is a good question.
Sorry to ramble so but your living life right... Take your time and have some fun!
