			   I have a 1968 Mustang coupe with a 289 V8.  I was wondering what is the best way to begin to restore the engine with a few modifications..  What type of literature should I get, parts, etc.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thank You.

			 The best idea is a master rebuild kit. It will have all the parts you will need. Next find a good machinist.

			 Steve Christs how to rebuild small block fords is good beginning material. As far as parts go, you need to have a goal in mind before you start buying stuff.
