before i start lets just say im bout to turn 18 and dont have a bunch of money .i have a friend that has a 350 chevy that he had some work done on but now he wants to convert over to a big block for drags and offered me the trans (turbo-350)and engine will it fit in my 65 stang without major surgery to the shocktowers and all that because it will be like paying pennies on the dollars compared to a ford engine and it was re done like 500 miles ago so it wont have to be refreshed right now i have 250straight 6 i no basic stuff like mounts and springs and the radiatior and other litle stuff but anyother things i need to know before i take the engine trans combo

 

why not sell the chevy motor and buy yourself a 289 and a c4 trans

 

As you crazy guys say, +1 on selling it

 

I don't know about you guys, but if I knew somebody who wanted a new engine but didn't have the cash and I offered them a rebuilt engine,I wouldn't be too happy if they turned right around and sold it. That would be a total slap in the face.

I don't have an answer to your question, but maybe somebody else will. Thumpin' certainly seems to have a wide ranging experience in modifying all makes of cars. Maybe he'll know.

 

I cringe when i see a non-ford drivetrain in a mustang

 

What you need to do is to ask your friend if you can sell the 350 so you can buy a Ford engine for your Mustang. Explain to him that it would cost you a lot of money to put the 350 in the Mustang and you don't have that kind of money. That 350 is an awfully good engine, but won't fit in your Mustang without a lot of alterations. Besides, it just wouldn't look right in a Mustang.

 

Don't look at any early T-buckets then. They're almost always Chevys. []

 

Yep, the Chevy engines make for cheap hot rods.

 

soaring how much alteration will be needed any cuting of the towers or stuff like that i no how u guys feel origanly i thought the same thing but looking at prices u no what i mean

 

i am sorry buy chevy engine belong in chevy vehicle ford engine belong in ford vehicle and thats all i have to say about that
