Question type: Car Customization

I've come across a 1972 Ford Thunderbird but need to replace the engine, what engine

running and get decent MPG.

I'm no expert, but my first car was a 1972 T-bird I bought from a guy whose dad owned a body shop. They had dropped a Lincoln engine into that car and I always had more power than anyone else on the strip!
