Originally posted by ellmers95: Well I decided on two engine choices and that is depending on the room I have and how this are going to fit. With a car that is under 3,000lbs it is not gonna take much to make it go. A 5.0 is my first priority though for the engine choice. BUT I am not afraind to swap in a 3.8 SC out of a thunderbird or couger that got them. Yes my work is cut out for me but this has been a dream for a long time and I am gonna full fill this dream not matter what. Not even the old lady is taking this one from me. Please don't ruin the car with that 3.8! If youre gonna go with a V6 then use 3L turbo or just stick to the 5.0 Metallic Steel Blue 99 SE Sport ATX college= few mods Infinity Kappas just added I have no secondaries! SELL ME YOUR WORKING IMRC box!!!

PDXSVT Hard-core CEG\'er P Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 1,506 Portland OR 'burbs	Saw a late model Mustang at the track yesterday... 5.0L block, I dnk if it was stroked, but with the twin turbos on it, it was running in the 9s. Check out the gasser and altered classes at the drags and this idea is not more outrageous than all those other wild race vehicles. And you'd be much more aerodynamic than something with a 63 Impala body. By the time you'd be done with a V8 Contour rwd 1320 blaster, wouldn't it look a little bit like a poor man's version of a rwd Nascar Fusion?

OP ellmers95 CEG\'er E Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 325 MN, SSP	LOL I am more in love with the idea of having something that someone else does not have. I dont like to be like everyone else. BUT I am kinda sorta having second thoughts and may just do a 3.0 swap. The only reason on the thoughts is because I got a ride in a 72 Nova drag car yest and absolutely loved ity and I may use the money and get a 67 Mustang instead to go up against my friends car for friendly compitition. I will let you guys know for sure what I do.
