Default New to the Mustang II

Hey everyone, im 19 years old and im thinking about buying a 1978 Mustang. I have found one for a pretty good price and the body is still in great condition, with only minimal needs for small repair. However it has its stock straight v6 in it but I believe it needs to be rebuilt and bored. Can I get some example of what some people tend to put under the hood of their 1970's mustangs?
Id love to get the interior restored and a sick paintjob on it. But first id like to fix whats under the hood. I can let u know more about whats under the hood of the Mustang im buying but im pretty sure its whats under any other stock mustangs.
Thanks!

Jared
(In fact the one in my avatar photo is the one im buying)

A 302 swap would be a good idea in your case. But if your pressed for money you could try and find another V6.
