I have also considered a Toyota 1UZ-FE as they are Tonka tough, relatively cheap and Sprintex make a great little blower kit to really get them up and running (used on the Bullet Roadster SS). I don't know for sure but I'm guessing that any quad-cam V8 will be a bit too wide to fit between the chassis rails of a '68 Mustang.

Then again these could accept a 390 big block so they might be OK.

I'll secure the car first then I'll go a-hunting with tape measure in hand.

Cheers,
Ben
