While looking through Hemmings for some other Ford stuff, I came on an ad from a guy in California named Alex Takessian who mentioned that he has a 1968 Ford Mexican block (C8M-)engine, complete, for sale, the short block for $500. Mexican blocks were two-bolt but high-nickel content with heavier main caps and are considered better for performance engines than standard 302 blocks. (actually you could probably have the whole engine, which he states runs, but the short block is what's desirable) His number is 619 298 9801, and his email is [email protected]. He knows about this posting.
