Default turbo 7.3 fox

so me and a buddy were sitting in his garage drinking beer and bull ****ing, kicking ideas around on what he is going to do with the 1998 7.3 he got, it runs good but doesnt look the greatest and he has no title for it. well we were thinking about trying to stick it in my old 85 vert i have sitting in the back yard, it would be alot of fabbin but thats no problem, the only thing we could think that would give us problems is the front springs, maybe a arms, frame even with frame rails and would a stock 8.8 take that kind of tourqe? just kicking ideas around nothing for sure, just thought i would get some input on the subject.

The money you would spend on just making the motor fit would be insane. I wouldnt even think twice about doing it.

you would need a bulletproof rearend and a drag race setup in the rear to even think about somethin like that but i think it would be cool as shyt. dare to be different and if u got the money and knowledge ftw.

what would we have to spend money on other then the drive shaft? there is not to much we cant make. he has a couple danna 60s we could chop down and fab in. we figured we would use 1/4 c channel for frome connectors and put in a 6 point cage, that should do the trick.

What are you going to do with a diesel Mustang? Not worth it. I think it would sound sweet, sure, but there is more power to be had for a LOT less money and a LOT less weight and a LOT less trouble
