Will a 289 Y Block mount in my '64 Mercury Comet?  What would be the 4 speed tranny to fit this?

Do you have an odd size Y-block, or are you asking about a sbf 289ci engine?  The 221-260-289-302 all fit that body style with either a toploader 4-speed and appropriate bell housing, or t-10 with appropriate bell housing.   The early sbf 289 ci engines had a 5 bolt bell housing, and changed to 6 bolts in 1966.  Joe-JDC

Thank you Joe,

I am sorry, I read the ad wrong.  It is a 239 Y-block not a 289.  I am looking for an engine to fit my '64 Comet and the tranny.  I saw an add for a 239 Y-block and saw 289.  Thank you for you reply.

Not quite sure but they put FE's in 64 fairlanes (not sure about the comets) and where an FE fit a Y should, similar mounts. However exhaust may take some working out.
