Ford I6 and 289, are my fav Ford engines. I even though it's not stock, have you thought about rebuilding the I6 for forged internals and boosting/turbo it? Those I6's are just about bullet proof...
 
Edit, in my opinion, turbos with said I6, just going to a nicer setup if your not going to the drag strip every weekend, getting a higher stall turbo, would be better if your just cruising.

the i6 was 1968 motor that was in the car when I got it  was running then it stopped so I opened it up after removal from car vlave seat bad pistons beat to heck bu spark plug and crank was lose a little play so I just using my 289 I had already rebuilt to go back in.
 
as for turbo I may do the v8 289 same as a 302 duh but just for daily driving it can wait a little longer

Knight, something I think I should say on this, if you go that route only use a 200 or 250, do not try and boost the 170's or 144's.  144s and 170s have 4 main bearings and 200/250s have 7, the smaller end wont put up with it very well.  Otherwise aside form turbo etc I would agree, they are nearly indestructible.
 
But since OP isn't using it anyway, it is a moot point here, but it was info incase you wanted to do it, and I would hate ot see money spent on something that might fail in short order. :)

nice, have an 93' Cobra that was given to me upon my father's death, has 1632miles on it
 

Thx Evil, pretty sleek, exhaust turbo here, looks like throttle body injection?

I could see a Carb, working with an exhaust turbo, but only on 5lbs or less. Never been a fan on belt turbos, might as well super charge a 289.

http://1drv.ms/12WGI4n my old 289 motor that was bored 60 over before pulled and tore down

speedo cable 16 tooth gear, shift knob tranny mount on trans
thread sealant for flywheel bolts below engine test fit in car will be Saturday and sunday I may even fire it after I prime it without fire more pics soon

ok back at it tried to get the engine and tranny married but the pilot bearing said no it was wrong go figure idiots at autozone sold me the wrong one
got the correct one coming in a week along with the head pipes which connect the exhaust manifolds to the exhaust
 also buying a slightly used oem hood to replace my old on the car

In general you don't want to use a vacuum carb with forced air, manual is perfectly fine.  May be ways around that, but I have seen that go VERY badly in the past.

Bummer about the bearing, but in the end that is minor.  Hoping to see some more pics as you go with this, old stangs are such an open canvas to just about anything you want to do.

efi and manifold im looking at
turbo will work with that if I went to that. right now I want to get exhaust ordered in http://www.cjponyparts.com/magnaflow-dual-exhaust-with-x-pipe-kit-2-5-stainless-steel-v8-1965-1966/p/CBG1/
get car re bleed on brakes then double check the alignment with old style check out at my mechanic

To Dave, "manual carb, as in manual choke?" How well would this work with a belt super charger with a 289?

No headers on this one? That's a nice exhaust kit, but doesn't this family of engines need all the help they can get on the exhaust side? Now would be the best time to install them, before you have to fight the engine for admission. Of course it will work with the factory manifolds, but this would be a nice upgrade for performance.

no headers not  even trying to adapt for clearance with headers yet zbar issues on some headers
 
besides the head pipes allow for it to breathe with the stock exhaust maniflods

What's that EB EFI kit vs doing this part-out? 

eb efi around 3,000 with manifold
as for part out the car is restomod to getting upgraded slowly
