Ladies and Gentlemen We have acted as counsel Morgan Stanley S&P 500 Xxxxxx Xxxx ("S&P Select"), and Morgan Stanley S&P 500 Xxxxx Fxxx ("X&P Index") in connection with the proposed transfer of substantially all of the assets of S&P Select to S&P Index and certain other transactions related thereto pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Reorganization Agreement (the "Reorganization").

In connection with rendering these opinions, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Reorganization Agreement, (ii) the Registration Statement on Form N-14 for the Reorganization, and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and other documents, exhibits, attachments and schedules contained therein, (iii) written representations of Morgan Stanley Investmexx Xxxixxxx Xxc ("the "Advisor") concerning certain facts underlying and relating to the Reorganization set forth in a letter dated February 26, 2002, and (iv) such other documents and materials as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of the opinions set forth below. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. We have not made an independent investigation of the facts set forth either in the Registration Statement, the Reorganization Agreement or such other documents that we have examined. We have consequently assumed in rendering these opinions that the information presented in such documents or otherwise furnished to us accurately and completely describes in all material respects all facts relevant to the Reorganization. We have also assumed for purposes of rendering our opinions (i) the accuracy of, and material compliance with, the representations of the Advisor set forth in the letter referred to above, (ii) the accuracy of, and material compliance with, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of S&P Select and S&P Index made in the Reorganization Agreement, and (iii) that there are no agreements or understandings other than those of which we have been informed that would affect our conclusions set forth below. The opinions set forth below are based on the Code, the legislative history with respect thereto, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and published rulings, court decisions and administrative authorities issued with respect to all of the foregoing, all as in effect and existing on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change at any time, possibly on a retroactive basis. In addition, there can be no assurance that positions contrary to those stated in our opinions may not be asserted by the Internal Revenue Service. Any change occurring after the date hereof in, or a variation from, any of the foregoing factual or legal bases for our opinions could affect the conclusions set forth below. In addition, the opinions expressed herein are given as of the date hereof and we express no obligation to advise you of any changes in the law or events that may hereafter come to our attention that could affect our opinions set forth below. Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinions that, for federal income tax purposes:

and Gentlemen We are acting as special counsel with respect to New York tax matters for the unit investment trust or trusts included in the series identified as FT 3368 (each, a "Trust"), which will be established under a certain Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust dated December 9, 2003, and a related Trust Agreement dated as of today (collectively, the "Indenture") among First Trust Portfolios L.P., as Depositor (the "Depositor"), First Trust Advisors L.P., as Evaluator, First Trust Advisors L.P., as Portfolio Supervisor, FTP Services LLC, as FTPS Unit Servicing Agent, and The Bank of New York Mellon as Trustee (the "Trustee"). Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, units of fractional undivided interest in the Trust (the "Units") will be issued in the aggregate number set forth in the Indenture. We have examined and are familiar with originals or certified copies, or copies otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion. In giving this opinion, we have relied upon the two opinions, each dated today and addressed to the Trustee, of Chapman and Cutler XXX, xounsex xxx the Depositor, with respect to the factual assumptions and the matters of law set forth therein. We have assumed that the assets of the Trust will consist exclusively of debt securities, equity securities in entities classified as corporations for federal income tax purposes, or a combination thereof. Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Trust will not constitute an association taxable as a corporation under the relevant tax laws of the State and City of New York, and accordingly will not be subject to the New York State franchise tax (New York State Consolidated Laws Chapter 60, Article 9-A) or the New York City general corporation tax (New York Administrative Code Title 11, Chapter 6, Subchapter 2). We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (No. 333-178965) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the registration of the sale of the Units and to the references to our name in such Registration Statement and the preliminary prospectus included therein. Very truly yours, CARTER LEDYARD & MXXXXXX XXX
