I am looking for a rebuildable 1968 Ford / Mercury 302 V8. A 4 barrel (J-code) is preferred. A 2 barrel is acceptable as I already have the appropriate J-code heads and intake. The engine is to be used for the restoration of a 1968 Mustang GT 4 speed built in late November, 1967. I really want a date code correct block thus a July, August, early September, early November 1967 casting date would be appropriate / acceptable. The strange date request is due to the UAW strike in 1967 which shut Ford down from September through November 1967.
If you have a rebuildable 1968 302 Engine or Engine Block from a 1968 Ford or Mercury carrying the part (block) number C8OE-A and a 7Gxx, 7Hxx, 7Jxx, or early 7Lxx date code, I would be very interested in learning more.
Thanks, Rick ( rpclnash@cs.com )
