General Discussion / Matching a 68 motor
« on: October 26, 2012, 06:03:34 PM »
Hi guys, looks like I will finally be able to start working on my car again after a 12 year intermission.
It runs and was mildly restored by me awhile back. I am going to do an engine/trans swap and know the originals are not in the car, but am not quite clear on how much of a match I would need to get it to be matching numbers.
Is the partial VIN going to be VERY limiting or is it more general?
I'm not going to kill myself to find one, just curious if there's a chance of it happening reasonably. Talked to an engine builder who told me it just needed to be an 68 engine, but my research indicates that is not true, so I am looking for clarification.
