hey all i just bought a project stang really cheap. and i wanteed to swap a 400m but the guy told me he sold it. so i am now looking into a 69 351w. and i plan for this to be an low 11 sec street/strip car, summer only. and its a t top so i need it to be sturdy. i want to use full length subfram connectrs and a 4-6 point roll cage. but i do have some rust most of it surface that i want to get rid of under neithe. and there are holes in the floor about 2 3" holes on each side. i dont r4eally want to replace the hole floor but if it comes to it i will. i want to keep full interior, as it will be a street car also. and if i dont go with a 4 point cage, i want to use a 6 point with swing out doors. but i just want to get rid of the rust and do a rust treatment to keep it away.

thanks nik

definitely need to replace the floor pans if your gonna put that much power into it.....por 15 works great!!

bolt in or weld in roll cage? and i would like to weld them subframe connecters in. what else can i do to make the car stiffer?

strut tower bar, tubular K-member. if your gonna put a ton of power, go with a weld in, especially if it will be a weekend warrior. if you only plan on/are able to get to a track, a bolt in cage would be good (thats what I'll be getting... after I finish my 5.0 swap) I heard something about "infloor" subframes, but I dont know much about them

it will be at the track a few times a summer. but not all the time. i do want it to be a quick car, and has anyone used that por 15???

yea i have..if you use it right it works real good..when its dry its harder then concreate

can always just cut out the rust holes in the floor and weld in new pieces then cover it with por 15
shouldnt have to replace the whole floor pans
