If your 68 Coupe as my 69 Coupe was originally equipped with a 302 & an C-4 auto I would do to yours like I am going to do to mine is go with a 331, or a 347 stroker crate engine & a 5 spd manual trans.. You can purchase the clutch pedal to add the the brake pedal.

Hello and welcome to the site.This is a little vague no? Is this a wanted ad to buy or are you just looking for advice? Assuming you are looking for advice,I'd say first important thing would be to look at your budget and how you see yourself using the car. Will it be a daily driver,drag car, vintage racer, cruise night car,etc. Once you make that determination I'd look at the budget. Opinions can be tough sometimes because everybody has their own thoughts and ideas as to how they would do it.

DOHC 4.6L Mach1 engine and trans combo. Makes 305 HP stock. You could carb it with a Sullivan intake and pro-systems carb, run it with an MSD mod 6 controller and make probably 325 - 335 HP. Very simple to do. I'm putting that same set-up in a '23 t-bucket.
