[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4258547, member: 15054"] Fun to try and get the old engine running and see if that old transmission will work most likely it will. My all original 70,000 mile 283 and glide in the 57 ran and drove but leaked and ticked. Not something I would drive more than a mile away from home. I had to update it with 350" and TH350 and then the old rearend broke some spider gears after a few months of my lead foot. Have a 9" Ford in it now. If you plan on driving any distance I say plan now on some kind of swap. I am not into the injection stuff. Love my carburetors and simple distributors and NON computer controlled transmissions. We all like what we like though. 57 chevy 4 door carbs and single point distributor more than 250 HP LESS than this computerized 2015 supercharged Mustang. Old school for the win.
