it can be done but its alot of work and money if you use a weld in mustang 2 kit the car will handle like a log wagon.your looking to spend about 6k to get it in the car and runing plus the price of the engine tranny wiring harness ecu. look at worlds crate engines anything ford small block will fit.there 460 man o war is a 351w based block 600hp 575foot pounds or have a stock 4.6 that dont make half that power its up to you.id pass on a 96 one they had the most recalls of any of the mod motors.unless you like a huge wiring headache lots of welding making parts and using cats then pass on that idea.

 

Would you consider putting in a Nissan engine in your Mustang? You sound as if you would. They are wickedly fast and will get you plenty of tickets for speeding. How about putting a VK Nissan engine series V8 4.5L Titan VKJ6DE 340 horses in that little Mustang uni body constructed body? It would definitely be challenging, and since you like challenges, go for it and tell us how it came out several years from now.

 

wanna be different use a diesel

 

was reading an article in hot rod magazine and they but a tank engine into a 68 mustang. . . but come on man 900 ft pounds of torque isnt enough right???

 

No its uhhh pretty much just about changing our cars.It was an advertising ploy and was beautifully executed.

 

strip the drivetrain out of a Prius and put that in your stang.

 

Hey, you pay the bills and I'll build whatever I want.

What an odd question. No, I would not put a Nissan engine in my Mustang. I'd rather put the American V8 into the import car, not the other way around. In fact, I wouldn't put a modular engine in my Mustang either. But I have (briefly) considered it.

I think Ford built a great car when they built my 69 Mustang. However, I think I can take advantage of almost 40 years of technological progress to make it a little BETTER.

 

I'm already doing the "different" diesel thing with my K5 Blazer. I built a GM 6.2L/6.5L diesel with a Banks Sidewinder system. One is enough, thank you. Diesel parts ain't cheap!

 

you can get a 460 diesel cheap they was used tell 96 in the f350.if i had to do my mustang over id go small block with the 32 valve push rod heads or a 806 big block.displacement is everything to me why replace a 289 with a 281 but if you really wanna do it look at http://www.martzchassis.net/page3.htm and http://www.dvsrestorations.com/

 

I think it would be a great project! Especially something like an 03 Cobra or 04 Mach 1 setup in a 66. A bit over my head though...as the suspension mods are out of my realm of hammer/drill/bolt capabilities.

Dave Stribling's "Men in Blac" project 67 car he did to showcase his shop's capabilities is awesome. One of the best examples I've ever seen of blending technologies seamlessly.

At the MustangSteve Birthdaybash yesterday, a beautiful 69 Shelby rolled in, popped the hood, and there lied a fuel injected 95 Lightning 5.8 motor....yeah baby..talk about pissing off the Shelbyophiles...
