'66 hybrid?
#11
Honestly i don't see it happening with out spending like 50k or more in parts and labor.You would need a rwd something to basicly gut and shove in the mustang,It would be like putting a round peg in a square hole.If your looking for gas mileage skip the whole hybrd fad and get a diesel for it.You can take a isuzu diesel out of a early s10 or chevette and the stick with it.That will get you 30mpg+ but be kinda gutless.The other one would be a vw diesel with a adapter to run a toyota stick will get about the same mileage with a little more power.If you got money to spend a 4bt cummins can be done but its heavy as a big block but could run a auto or stick easy.A friend of mine has a 4bt cummins in his 96 f250 4x4 work truck with a utility bed full of tools and junk.He gets 26mpg with that truck before with the 351w it had it got around 9mpg.

Oh, sorry. I thought you said you were open to Don't ruin a classic. Lots of ways to get good mileage other than a hybrid. Less expensive to install and maintain and you don't lose the integrity of the car.

I'm not worried about the millage i could care less about the millage i dint know what's so hard to understand about that i could care less if the damn thing got 3 miles to the gallon after it was done up as a hybrid the idea was to make something different, a mustang that no one really has. So enough with the mpg here.

If you want to do something different there are a lot of alternatives that will be a lot easier and cheaper than a hybrid since you need a gas and electric motor with a computer that will switch between the two alternately.
How about a V6 from the new mustang in there? 300 hp but unfortunately it gets (dare I say it)~30mpg. Some people are doing V8 swaps to get the 444hp of the new coyote motor but I haven't seen a V6 swap yet.

You just wannabe different that's not too hard to do.What about the supercharged 3.8 from the thunderbird supercoupe?If you want to fully nuts a ls1 or maybe toyota v8.Or if you want something small a ford zetec rwd and that one wouldn't be real hard either.Its real popular swap in the uk for there 70s rwd escort and most super seven kit cars run a zetec also.Or i have seen a old ford taurus sho v8 in a fox body as rwd.
