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...

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?

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?

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 ***-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?
