Probably A Really Stupid Question

Joey304 · October 12th, 2006, 10:36 PM

i jsut got in an accident with my 2000 mustangs. its a v6 and standard shift. my dad has the shell of a 68 mustang in the garage and he wants to put the straight six in that we have hanging up. would it be possible to take my engine out and put in the the 68?

Yea you certainly could, though it'd be alot of work (drivetrain, custom mounts / k-member, ecu, wiring harness, etc.

shit you could put a civic engine in there....fabricating and trans and everythin else will have to work with it...thats the main thing

Its really something to look into. Look at what you would have. I want to put a Toyota Supra I6 motor in a 67 or 68. I think that would work very well. It would almost make it a good daily driver. What the horse power on a V6? you might have to replace the rearend too. I would replace the front brakes too.

Joey304 · October 13th, 2006, 10:49 AM

well the 2000 engine come with a 190 stock, i think. But the 68 was a v6 too back in the day, and i think the straight 6 we have might be the original engine. so would the suspension really needed to be changed?

Horseshoeing · October 13th, 2006, 11:05 AM

I don't think you would have change the suspension.

why the hell would you put a civic engine in a MUSTANG???!!!!!!

You shouldn't have to change the suspension. Have you googled this? I think it's been done, and you can probably find some good info on it.

I think you should go with a Lawnmower engine..
Yeah, Shove it in there. Nothing cooler then a classic stang with all the modern workings. Carefull moving that computer around though and be sure your grounded. I hear a million people say the same thing, " I've banged around computers in cars and moved them around with no ground and never had a problem." Then their shit starts twitching 6 months later and they blow 1200 trying to fix a ghost.

DO IT AND TAKE PICTURES..

Horseshoeing · October 24th, 2006, 05:48 PM

A good ground is a must

The unless your a electronic guru ..... the wireing would be a bitch. You have a nasty little computer running the show.

I hate to say it, but that would sacrilige to do that

GTNorm · October 31st, 2006, 07:17 PM

Sacrilige and it would become a "RICER" I believe.

Horseshoeing · November 1st, 2006, 06:21 AM

I try not to become closed minded about anything. I think it would make it a better car. I would not do it to just any Mustang, but it you had a I6 mustang with a bad motor or no motor then I would think about it.
