I am considering purchasing a 1988-1993 Mustang into which I want to put a 327 and two speed powerglide that I pulled from my 1969 Chevrolet Impala. I am wondering how feasible this idea actually is. I know that there will be some fabrication required (i.e., motormounts, etc...) that is okay as I work in a machine shop. My main concern is to how this set-up will mesh with the front suspension and k member. Can I make it fit or would I have to get a custom built front clip? If anyone else has done this or something similar I would appreciate any help or insight that you can offer.
Thanks for any and all help with this dilemma,
Sam

It should be OK with the K memeber, as you said you need to fab motor mounts, trans cross member and a few other things. Headers might a problem, but I bet there are companys that make a header for this swap. One question, why the Powerglide? Are you planning on making it an all out drag car?

327 is a ***** motor. a 427 twin turbo would be nice. powerglide is useless unless your going FAST and your not gonna get there with a 327. A better home for that engine would be a later year impala with the v6's. Or ebay. or a trash receptacle. blah.

get yourself a nice camaro chevelle impala etc...and put it in there....or just sell the engine and use that money to buy a proper mustang engine....

or buy a mustang with an engine in it.....? [sm=happybounce.gif]

This is one swap that makes NO sense to me.
You'll need to make a very interesting oil pan and you may as well figure on making the headers too. (real PITA).
Powerglide? Don't use it unless you got a 2500# car, and you won't either.

Why not find an early 70's Vega or Nova and work with that?

those powerglides were in 4000 pounds cars

there are kits with the headers motor mounts and tranny crossmembers.
