I am new to this forum. I have a 67 and a 68 cougar. The 68 is all original, original engine, tranny, rear end, so I was told. By the looks of everything, I might agree. The engine is a 289 and is tired and smokes out the driver side exhaust. Dry compression is about 120 to 125 all the way around. I pulled the heads and sent them in for estimates. Complete rebuild needed, $600.00 for both. I can get a rebuilt block with heads for $750.00. This is a pretty plain cougar, only option is Power Steering and A/C. My question, should I try to keep it original and rebuild the existing engine? Or go for a rebuilt replacement.
Also can a power brake assembly from a 67 be put on a 68? Looks like it should work.
