So all this talk on rwd 4g63 and motor swaps got me thinking.
I had a mustang, sold it and now I have 85 hatchback mustang shell sitting in my moms garage and a 302 that i built sitting in there too.
Now that my nt eclipse is in the painting process I am thinking about it just being a dd.
Today I was sitting in the garage staring at my mustang imagining what I want it to look like.
Since my mom owns a resto business for older cars I have allot of connections for mustang parts.
I came to the conclusion I want to sell my 302 and replace it with a 6 bolt 4g63 motor or a 4g63 evo motor.
My original plans for the mustang was to make it a somewhat bad ass street car with wide black rims and radials, low as can be, big brakes, blacked out, twin turbo 302 that i was soon going to bore out to a 331 stroker. I wanted a car that someone would see and just say wow that car is hot.
Now I picture the same thing but instead of that loud 331 there is a 4g63 in the with a big fmic behind that four eyed bumper.
So my question is what has to be done to make this bad ass street machine possible and what needs to be done to make it run high 10s low 11s?
I can find a ford 9 inch a chevy tranny and the adapter for the chevy tranny but besides that what is needed.
This project has to happen I am not even joking and I want it to be one of those cars that even ford fans cant deny is a sexy ride. (I know allot of ford friends that have respect for the power of the 4g63 due to being smoked on the track by them haha)
I know it probably won't be done anytime soon and i also know it won't be easy. I am not one of those people that talk about it like its a 5 min project I just want to see this get done.
Please give me some insight.
