You guys are closed minded. Nothing good comes out of be closed minded. I was talking about a mustang and how to make it better. Sorry that talking about Mustang and how to make them better is making you guys mad and this is a Mustang site, not a ford ranger site.

Why would anybody put a Japanese motor in Detroit steel? That would make a bastard out of it. Poor Mustang would probably roll over dead.

The funny this that 1JZ will make about 300rwhp with a 3" exhaust and some up'd boost. That's more HP the the wheels than most Ford V8s make... [sm=smiley36.gif]

RE: 65' hardtop
I am in the same boat. I am looking at a 66 Mustang with a 200 I-6. I would like to change the engine to a 302 or like engine. My neighbor is a Mustang fanatic as is my Father-in-Law. I will leave the 6 if the numbers all match but if not, I would like to get a good idea of the cost of going with an 8. I agree with a majority of the postings, why put a foreign engine in a piece of American history. Thank You,

It would make it a better daily driver and give it more power then a stock 2bl 289. You would not have to change the brakes or the rearend or alot of other stuff.
If you are going to change it to a V8, Go buy a V8 car and tell people that you changed it. It would be better and cheaper.

There is no VIN on any part of the drive line; therefore, no numbers to match!
And even if there were, why concern yourself with the originality of a six cylinder hardtop? They only made about a million of them by the end of 1966![:@]

Oh, fer cryin' out loud - there is no such animal as a "matching-numbers" early Mustang!

RE: 65' hardtop
Thanks for the heads up on the numbers. I am just getting into the Mustang way of life and have a lot to learn. I am interested in any advice on how to get the most out of the 6 or any recommendations on setting it up for an 8. I prefer the 8...
