Ok here is the deal I have been trying to sell my Mustang GT... not too many takers...



So if I end up keeping this car I want to pickup a 65-70 Mustang Fastback and using the Motor tranny rear end some of the interior on that car.

I want to be different! This would put in a non emissions class and also allow me to modify the hell out of the car. While retaining a reliable car. Also it would a car that could turn heads and run good #'s!





So what do you guys think of this? 66 Mustang fastback 302 EFI 5 spd with an 8.8 rear end???

Should be roughly as fast as my GT now and it would be a lot more fun! Looks alone!!! Not to mention ----> :bigok: <----- getting the thumb up from the car guys!!!! Everyone and their brother has a 5.0 stang.... I dont like being like the rest of the crowd!

Dont worry I wouldnt rip apart a worth while classic mustang... I would find a good 6 cylinder rolling shell which to convert with my cars insides...

That idea sounds great to me. No offense, but the GT 5.0s are dime-a-dozen. The classic 'stangs are really nice. I think a swap like that would be quite a worthy project.



Have you seen this mega 'stang? That thing is tight. :ph34r:

yeah they are a dime a dozen... it kind of helps having a vert but it is still a 5.0 GT....



Damn I like his intake manifold....



Thats kind of what I am aiming for....

except picture this....



66 Fastback

5 speed tranny

lowered 1 1/2 inches

riding on 17x7 front wheels

17x9 rear wheels

Nice exhaust

Rolled diagnol cut tips

Dark red or possible Midnight blue paint...

maybe a mild hood though I like the clean look....

Sounds nice, man. Perhaps you should turbo that sucker too. 13BAce posted a linky to the Cartech turbo kits for 5.0s over on your A4 kill post. I mean, if you're going to go for a project like this, might as well go all out, right? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

If I ever had a V8 I would turbocharge it. I'd run either a big single or 2 small twins...probably the twins.

Ford Owners have been putting 5.0's in every Ford product out there. How about a 3.8 SuperCoupe Motor (Your know the SuperCharged one). The results would be the same, but it would be pretty unique. Or even a 4.6l?

well yeah that would be cool to do but I got this 5.0 sitting here right now... and if I was going to do something unique I would grabd the 3.4 yahama assisted 235hp V8 out of the SHO with a 5 spd.

Be truly original and put a fuel injected, turbo or non-turbo BIG BLOCK IN IT. Everyone and thier mother around here have put that 302 FI in things, including Volvos! ****, I know someone who put a small block chevy in thier Mustang.

yeah I would love to do a swap like that.....

But this is something that would be done on pretty tight funds.....

Also I would be doing this because I would have my GT laying around....

I am trying to get ready to get my Mitsibishi on the road. It may just get a minor exhaust and a bit of bodywork and rebuilt motor....

1988 Mitsibishi Cordia L

5 spd

1.9 litre carbed 4 cylinder

Manual everything

No sound deadening





Kind of a fun car to drive!

The problem with the Yahama SHO engine is it has that ass-backwards belhousing from the 2.8l Aerostar/Ranger which used the A4LD Transmission (AKA: PIECE OF CRAP).



The problem with a big block is the weight. It would be cooler than a smallblock swap though.



What else does Ford have? V-10 Triton?

Big block swap isnt that bad when you use aluminum parts, but the point of his swap is that he has the convertible sitting, so what your trying to tell us stang is that you will render your convertible useless for this other car?? I guess the emissions is a good point, and the other is classic car insurance, it would probably cost you about $100 a year to agreed insurance on a 66 stang.

yeah....

my GT needs some body work and needs a new top etc...

I would rather junk the body on it and use the driveline and whatever I can on another stang.....

You could throw the works into your coupe.

Could and I had thought about it...

But that coupe would be a lot of fun to do a Turbo 2.3 with... like the old SVO's or the TurboCoupes or Merkurs....



Plus it has a pretty good ride and it is getting 01 GT sway bars.... so I am not sure if I want to ruin the handling by dropping in an engine that will make the bastard nose heavy... though I am pretty sure that would be a good 13.8 car. lol thats a lot better than the 18.2 it ran a while back!



I dont know if I am not careful I will end up having a driveway full of project cars and only 1 or 2 of them running! hahahaha
