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.
 
Build you mustang and maybe turbo your eclipse and call it a day...

You should be able to make your a car a GST relatively cheap.
 
First you want a big block in a 1g, now you want a 4g63 in a mustang. If your looking for 11's or 10's, why not buy an awd dsm and put half the money your gonna building the mustang and be done with it.
 
He wants to know what its going to take not what you would rather do. The point is, it would be pretty cool to give it a try see what you can do with it. Good luck hope you go through with it.

umm reread that post i never said i would do that i said the oppossite i wasnt the op asshole
so before you open your mouth know your facts
i built a mustang before it my brothers and i did allot work on it.
And for the cash he had in it it just didn't seem worth it why have two different cars that are fast as hell when i can have my dd sell my jetta to have some cash and have a mustang and a dsm all in one?? that just seems like a better idea its a little cheaper on insurance.
so i have been there done that on building mustangs.
also i am helping my mom build a 67 stang.

If you're worried about insurance then keep your jetta and sell both toys. Don't get rid of your DD, it's a nice thing to have when owning a DSM.
 
Also I just like the idea of it being different allot different.
I mean come on how sick would that be.
You can not tell me that if you went to the track or a show and saw a 4g63t foxbody you wouldn't think its cool.
 
Start making a list of what your plans for the engine and driveline are and slowly start working out what the details of everything would be. The list is going to be staggering.
 
Thanks for the advice I will start tonight.
Ironically though I just got done talking to the guy who built my moms 406 stroker in her mustang and he thought the idea would be sick considering I can show and race it at dsm shootout and ford events. He also thinks it would be a great way to get people to not see the 4g63 as rice but as 4 cyl with twice the potential as allot of v8s.
I found an 8.8 inch rear end for 200 and i got a free 400 turbo auto tranny for free.
 
I would get the tranny and rear end built. Both are fine in stock form but you don't want to deal with alot of reliability issues. Buschur used to sell all the stuff to bolt a turbo 400 to a 4g motor so check it out and see if they still do.
