Yes the engine. It has sat for the last 18 years or so. It turns over freely yet but I am sure the seals won't be happy to see any heat cycles any more.

I plan to regasket/seal the engine and dump it in my 62 comet before spring hits.

So far I pulled the engine from the 68 mustang... lol

Shouldn't be too tough, I did the same with my 68 302 in our Mustang a few summers ago, just to clean it up, so we could open the hood at car shows.

It will just sit more for now. I have owned the car for over 17 years now and have only driven it 3 times the first year I owned it.

It is just a notch back 6 cylinder car but I have big plans for it some day when I have money and time. The car is from NV and is solid from front to back. Lately I have been getting the itch to get at it though. I am thinking I will lay out a project plan for it over the coarse of 5 years or so. One year do rear end/tub work, next year engine bay work, another year for body, another for drivetrain, and so on. At least I can hope something will go like that.
