Make a FE 390ci Engine

I´m restroring a Stang Fastback GT 68, that came with a 390 ci GT engine;
wich it doesn´t have anymore.
Here I can´t find that kind of engine, but I can get my hands on a 352 or a 390's of Ford Thunderbirds.
The question is:
Can I build an engine similar to the 390 Gt, based on a 352 block(year 59) or a 390 block (year 64) from T-bird?????
I´would appreciate it if you could answer to my e-mail address ; eridanu5@hotmail.com
thanks,
Erwin

Pre-1965 engines came with a two bolt engine mount, '65 and later engines use a three-bolt mount. You'll likely have problems bolting either of those up. Keep looking.

You can adapt a 2 bolt motor mount block to the Mustang. It's not that hard and involves a little measuring and drilling one hole in the block plate. Let me know if you need the specifics...G.
