Mustang Engine Decisions??

Hey Guys,

I'm restoring my mother's 66 Mustang coupe and started looking engines....Currently the car is a 6 cylinder...I'm going to swap in a V8.....

I've been all over CL and to a couple local cruise-ins talking to folks about finding one....

It will be rebuilt no matter what.....

Here's my options....

1. Craigslist I found a 68 302 w/ C4 tranny believed to be all original. The guy selling it seems to know most of it's history and said it ran when he bought the stang and put it on his trailer and he moved it around his yard for 10 years before finally deciding to sell it.....it's out of the car...unknown mileage....wants $500 for everything

2. Local cruise guy has 4 motors.....he has 2-302's, a 289, and a 302 w/ Windsor roller rocker heads....all of them he has history with....one 302 smoked before removed unknown miles wants $150, the other 302 came out of a 70's truck unknown mileage $150, the 302 w/ windsor heads he wants $500, and the 289 he wants $150.....

So should I go for the CL engine of one of these engines from the cruise in guy??
