1963 Ford Fairlane

Looking for some help. We bought a 63 fairlane that has a 289 engine in it. The guy that we bought it from says that it has a bad vibration in the motor. We were going to start the engine but noticed that the soft plugs were pushed out of the block on one side so out the motor came and to the machine shop it went. Can anyone help with the correct part number and weight that we should use we are planning to put a 4- speed trans behind the motor when we get it back from the machine shop.

Have the machine shop check the rear of the crank fior a pilot bushing hole. This is required for a manual trans, but often is not there in engines that originally came with auto transmissions. If its not there, the machine shop should be able to drill one for you (this is something you can't do at home).
