My hybrid project

White96reborn · December 10th, 2011, 04:21 PM

So for this christmas my dad is giving me a engine to put in my mustang. its not just any engine. its his 454 chevy big block from his 70 chevelle ss. already starting to buy parts to make it work. everyone wish me luck and post if you think this is bad ass. to fuse chevy and ford together to make one bad ass road king of a car.

I think it's badass, but I'm biased. What k-member you gonna run? Give a run down of your setup.

97S281 · December 10th, 2011, 07:15 PM

That's gonna be very heavy. You are going to need to upgrade the front suspension as well.

WickedSnake00 · December 10th, 2011, 07:41 PM

I'd say find yourself a Chevelle roller to put that baby in. Just my opinion.

White96reborn · December 10th, 2011, 09:51 PM

the k-member is from jegs its a 94-98 mustang k-member for sb-bb chevy motors cost 300 for k-member and motor mounts its going to take some work though the heads need to be reworked and i need some parts(carborator and others) but i have the engine and trasmission its a 4 speed auto

but i will get a ratchet shifter to go with it so at least i can have some feel of a manual. i will post a pic of the engine when i get it at my house next weekend it should be here.

White96reborn · December 11th, 2011, 01:58 AM

also any links on a stronger suspension??

Jazzer The Cat · December 11th, 2011, 08:56 AM

Yup.... first thing occured to me was heavy!

I would certainly go CO's, so you have some adjustabilty and better control over the added weight. Figure out the difference between the existing motor and the new one, to do the math on CO's.

You are gonna want some improved brakes for sure. What are you going to do with this car? Just a cool project or looking to do 1/4 mile runs?

MustGT98allday · December 11th, 2011, 02:21 PM

mustang98ggt · December 11th, 2011, 06:31 PM

lol i just talked to a guy at the last show i was at and he put a big block ford motor in his 70s chevelle and man did it piss people of but that was what he was going for i guess either way its awesome to see new things i always said chevy and ford should try to do something together.

White96reborn · December 11th, 2011, 06:49 PM

i am doing it just because i want something different you see mustangs left and right i love them but i just dont want "just a mustang" you know what i mean. the thing is its going to take a while to do the build so i am looking up all the info i can.

97S281 · December 11th, 2011, 07:28 PM

I always wanted to build an old chevy truck and put a Ford drivetrain in it. I guess you are kinda doing the opposite. Sounds cool though but you know some people will just get pissy about it.

mustang98ggt · December 11th, 2011, 11:04 PM

hell yea i always wanted to put a fierro gt motor in a golf cart dont ask its a dream of mine and my friends we all have dreams its awesome to have someone try something new good luck
