V-8 Donor car is always an option too. That is what I did...You will need more than you think to go from a 6 to a V-8...suspension, drive train, mounts, axles, on and on and on.....

what type of doner did you get ??

A 65 or 66 with disc brakes would be ideal for your situation, though you could use one with drums just to get the engine swap done, and then convert to disc later.

My donor was a V-8 1966 Mustang with a 289 and 4 speed toploader trans. I paid $800.00 for the car - 2 transmisisons, 2 motors and a rolling body. Well worth the price. I did a complete front and rear suspension swap. Only problem is the car had drum brakes up front...I am planning on an upgrade once the funds become available.
Saved me sooooo much trouble just having the car to swap out the suspension with. Well worth the price..
