Modular power 65 fastback
Hey, Hows it going. Does anybody have any pointers as to where to start with a 5.4 swap in a fastback? Im building a 65 fastback for a customer and now decided to go with a blown 5.4 with a six speed. I know the fab work it takes in the engine bay but i was thinking along the lines as to get a 79-04 tubular k-member and a-arms set up with the mounts for a mod motor. Obviously im thinking of modifying the k-member to fit. But any pointers from any part of this build will help.

I used the k-member from my mark viii donor for my 4.6 swap because I'm on a really tight budget and have the ability to do the fab work to make it all fit. Even If I had the money to blow, now that I've done it my way, I think I'd do it the same all over again. I rebuilt the frame however instead of modifying the k-member.

How much was the difference in width from the k-member to the frame? Well i put a Grattanelli motorsports tube k-member on my 82gt and it was i think under $300 and $200 for the a-arms so im going to try the tubular route, but I would like to see some more pics of your project.
