Question Creative Minds And Not So Creative Come In (Swap Ideas)

Hello everyone, Well let us get down to it. I had a 1991 Mustang that i had a 347 built for it well long story short sold the chassis kept motor clutch flywheel Lakewood bell housing and SCT chip. I sold the car because i am moving to Arizona and honestly didnt want to lose my butt off the motor price. So i was wondering what everyone thinks about swapping the 5.0 into different cars like mazda or stick with another stang or explorer lol, well i just want my motor in a car. The only thing is i do not want a completely complex swap that will require to much finding special parts.

well thanks for looking at this and cant wait to hear of some cool or just easy basic ideas. Thanks Again

The mazda miata with a 5.0 is supposed to be a real mean car. However being a 6'4" guy I can't bring myself to try and fold myself up into the car. Don't do an explorer just not that cool in my book. I would stick with a mustang or if you can fit in a miata and want a car thats fast as hell and will corner like crazy for for the miata. There are some guides online to putting that motor into a miata. Read up and decide on your own what you can handle.

A factory five car would be sick.

Options:
mustang
miata
focus (complete bolt in, just gotta find the website that sells the parts)
ranger

build a 347 powered motorcycle it'd be heavy as hell but how badass would that be?

I would go with a 240sx over a miata if I was going to do anything like that
