hey guys i am new on here , a good friend told me about this web site, and i am running into some problems with my swap would like to know what all i am going to need to get it done. first off i rebuilt this 289 a few wears ago for my galaxy and its strong, so i decided to take the 6cyl out of my mustang and mix up some old school in it.alrght goin to keep the carb but i have some questions about clutch ,fly wheel, bell housing, fuel pressure, and i want to use the serpintine belt ... i have already got new oil pan but thats all i have done so far , if anyone has info please give me some insight dustin thanks

it should have a t-5 so just use a stock replacement clutch/flywheel and get a v8 bellhousing. dont know if you'll have to switch out anything with the length of the input shaft at all though...

for fuel, i've read that you'll need to switch to a different fuel pump such as a holley blue and run a new line. the stock pump will have too much pressure for a carb motor.

also, just get a stock serpentine set up from an sn95 or get some aftermarket system if you're deleting a/c and ps....hope this helps. never done this swap, this is just what i remember reading last year when i considered going carb...

I am doing just the opposite thing you are. I am puuting a 4.6 in my 66 mustang. You will need a new drive shaft, or get yours cut.
I would use the mechanical style pump that comes on the 289 and get rid of the electric pump.
The T-5 will work with a new bell housing.
I am sure Sumitt or Jeggs sells a serpentine belt set up for the early engines.
You will most likely need custom headers if you go full length, shorties may fit.

a buddy of mine said i might be able to run a fuel pressure regulator but i havent heard it from anyone else. and if i have to cut my drive shaft that would mean i would have to move my trans and then my shifter would not be lined up with my console and would need a new cross member and if its goin to be that much trouble i will put my six back in

yes you can run a regulator. no need to move the trans anywhere.
