My son's stock 289 is getting a bit tired in his 67..He wants to get a
Ford Racing 302 (M-6007-XB3) and put in it..Has anyone done this? What
else needs to be changed..he has a "strongly" rebuilt C-4 and a 9"
rear end..will this bolt up to his current bell housing?

Externally, they are the same. Pull the old one out, drop the new
one in. Piece of pie, easy as cake.

Might want to ask about the flex plate as it maybe different in the new
motor.

The crate motor is probably the 50 oz imbalance while the 289 would be 28oz.
You'll need to get a 50 oz balancer and flywheel that match your application
is the included ones won't work.
