Mustang Boy
Well-known member
well as some of you guys from way back when might remember i had a 66 mustang with a 200 in it that got totaled. well i kept the car all this time and currently have the money to do something with the motor. well my plans are to get an SN95(94-98) mustang, preferably convertible because my mom wants to drive it around before i tear it apart, and drop the 200 in it after i rebuild it again with MANY parts from ClassicInlines.
so far i have a list in my head of everything i want/need for the motor rebuild and the parts im going to need for the swap.
so far my list is this.
engine:
Forged .030 over dished pistons
shot peened rods
stock crank
Aluminum race prepped head
ITB Intake(once it comes out)
custom ground cam
custom turbo header
T3/T4 header
Y-pipe after the header to dual side exit exhaust with shotgun style mufflers
ARP Bolts, studs, etc. for the engine
DUI distributor for EFI engines
drivetrain:
already have a T5 from a fox that was used in the 66 and is still in there.
cable clutch conversion to the 2.77 3spd bellhousing
have the driveshaft either lengthened of shortened
IRS from a 99-04 Cobra
4.30 gears(already have and will be going into my 94 for a short time)
Tubular K-member for a 5.0(from what i hear it can be easily modified for a 200)
custom transcrossmember
Suspension:
i dont know alot about suspension so i will have to do alot more research on which brands are the best for handling but this is an idea
Tubular control arms up front
better bushings for the IRS out back
Coil-overs all the way around
wheels and tires:
17x9 and 17x10.5 Chrome Cobra R wheels
i know the tires i want but cant remember the brand but i know where to find the info just have to do alot of searching through old threads on another site
Appearance:
Cobra front bumper
Cobra R hood
Roush side skirts for side exhaust(with the corresponding tips)
Steeda wing with carbonfiber winglets
DARK blue with black stripes paint job(reminiscent of the 64.5-66 shelby because this is how i wanted to paint my 66)
smoked headlights and taillights
so what do you guys think?
as of right now all i have is the 200 and the T5 lol. still shopping for a 94-98 vert project car that is cheap but in the meantime i plan to start acquiring the parts for the motor build
and yes i know im missing a few things here and there in my lists but my brain is tired and has forgotten my entire list right now
