How hard is it to find a correct engine to go into a 35 Super 8 coupe? It's the 320 size correct?

If it's truly a 35 Super Eight, no - the 320 engine is the incorrect one - it's for the Eight. The Super would have the 384 engine.

I'll let others who are in the parts purveying business comment on how hard it will be to find, other than just to say there are a reasonable amount of loose, stray and left-over parts around, blocks, cranks, crankcases, etc. but you'd have to be careful to evaluate them for why they were abandoned and not used. Finding an entire or nearly complete engine that's rebuildable - ......? A 36 Super 8 engine will interchange, but even then between the 2 years there were only about 2600 Super 8s built.

Oops, it's a 1201 coupe not a Super 8
