‘66 Engine Install

[carydpage]

I have a ‘66 but not sure what engine/transmission combo to put in. I have a 16 year old that is helping rebuild and will want to drive and also a wife who will want to drive. I’d like a V8 with EFI and automatic transmission but don’t know where to start to find one or what combo would be best for a young driver that only has experience with modern vehicles. Any advice is helpful! Thanks.

Explorer or Mountaineer 5.0l/4R70W. Lot's of threads here about that swap.

so does it now have a drivetrain/engine?

Nothing in it at all right now. All new rebuild.

Does/did it have I6 or V8 motor mounts?

The mounts have been cut off but I have both mounts because the guy I bought it from didn’t know what he wanted to go back with. I just have to have them welded on. Open canvas!
