I had a 72 Mercury Montego with a 289 smallblock out of a 67 Fairlane police car.
You could just about walk around the engine compartment under the hood but the car was very quick.

I had a Montego convertible with a 390 that was crazy fast. Developed a whistle after 120 MPH with the top down.
Couldn’t afford to put gas in it at the time,
