There where 2 other mid-engine American cars powered by Ford the Pantera and the Bricklin. Both where powered by 351C's if memory serves me correctly.

hmm, I dunno if it was said already, but the dinky lil 75 amp alt and tiny brakes need to go....
I need to do a 3g swap...
I drove 10 miles with my highbeams without so much as a flash from someone coming in the opposite direction...

That f*ucking stupid, not even a mustang then. What makes a mustang a mustang is;
-V8(in most cases)
-2 doors
-front engine
-rear drive
-The ability to use as a DD ie. 4 seats
-american
-***** for cheap!
5-lugs, better brakes, improved chassis rigidity and floorpan strength.

Ok, I'm going out on a limb here. I've been thinking about this alot recently. Remove the back seat and slide the cab forward (no need for it anyway). Take the engine out and put it into the back. Making the fox a mid-engine rear wheel drive. Then improve aerodynamics slightly.

A mustang is whatever carford slaps a dam mustang logo onto. There is no formula for making it. Hell, take a long look at the ford probe; because guess what badge they were gonna slap on that. Yep, an emblem of a fukin pony with mustang written on the back. Chances are: they might do it again.

Ow also, to the guy who wants to put a 5.4 in a 5.0. No thanks to OHC's and 200 extra pounds sitting over the front end. Push rod till I'm dead.

+1 to the t-56 mentioned, i wish i had a sixth gear with a little more of an overdrive to it for cruising,
and idk, a dohc engine might have not been to bad, there boost friendly and more economical on power, then again, nothing sounds better then a push rod engine....
cup holders would have save my interior
i think the back side windows on the hatch should be able to open like a vent...but thats just me
there should have been atleast a 5.8w option since the swaps so easy...
and id love to see a midengine low price muscle car...but that'll never happen, there all jap cars or million dollar itallion ponies....
