I'm thinkin my engine should fit in the v8 body style but I'm not sure of the 6. Oh well I will keep looking.
If you find a pre 67 Mustang with a 6 cylinder, it'll have a lighter suspension and will need to be updated to a 8 cylinder setup. Not a big deal, it all bolts in. The 289 was last used in 67 also. In 68 Ford began the use of the 302, If you do find a 289 in a 68 it'll be somewhat of a rarity. They are out there but rare. In 67 Ford went to a larger Mustang to be able to use the 390 FE, so that makes getting a 351 in easier.
Hope it helps some.
