Default Another Mustang

Not mine, but in addition to my dad's friend buying a silver 66 vert to match mine, my dad just bought a red 67, with a 200 and 3 speed manual....

this is getting old...

anyways...
how hard is it to convert to a c4?

he thinks that mustangs are and only ever will be putt around cars, that never should have had more than a 6 cylinder -.-
so no v8 conversion done there

oh and i posted about this same mustang before it was another friend of my dad's that was hit in the front, that friend, ed, wet o west Virginia to get a front end, and then wound up selling it to my dad.

lol.

I don't feel like mine is a Putt Around kind of car. I can easily think of 10-15 other users on these forums whose Mustangs are the farthest things from "Putt Around" cars.

Ed's car was a 6? That front end still had all the suspension parts on it but it's 5 lug. Might as well drop in an 8 now

yeah, my dad can't appreciate anything...

i'll tell him to convert it to a v8 cause there are a few for sale locally, and the front end is already set up for it...

and he doesn't like shifting, so, he can either learn or figure it out himself how to convert it to a c4... which i hope he doesnt cause he paid for my trans to be rebuit and knowing him, he'll say now that he's got a mustang he's using it lol.

BA,

I'm wondering if any driver sixes will be around 30 years from now. Yeah, there will be some super restored, original ones, but I swear 9.5 out of 10 people posting about sixes as a driver want to yank them out.
