Im super excited. All im gonna need to get is a new clutch. But should be a lot more fun to cruise around in after the swap. Ill make a write up with lots of pictures for all of you guys that eventually want to make the leap to the dark side

This going to be a 2v car? Where did you find such a good deal?

[Froush]

Yeah its a 2v. Eventually im gonna drop a kb 2.1 on it. corral is where its at. found the guy on there and turned out he was local. Hes just trying to upgrade to a 11' gt or newer gt 500. Ive been trying to find a salvage on copart but wound up finding this.

[Green_6er]

seriously. you wanna hook me up with a deal like that?

[Froush]

ill keep an eye out for ya. haha. it took me about a year of looking to finally find something i am really comfortable with. the guy was a really nice guy and didnt mind me crawing all around or taking stuff apart to check it out.

[Green_6er]

also...

[Froush]

Heres a couple pics i copied from the guys ad. Ill add plenty more with the write up im gonna do. Im gonna get started after xmas and since i have an entire car it should go pretty smoothly

[ESG-642T]

what is wrong with the car?

[Froush]

Its its completely gutted and meant for drag racing. Other than that the only thing it really needs is a clutch. I really just want to build my v6 as a weekend cruiser that might see the strip once a year. Plus Id like to say "hey I built it" and hope to learn a lot more about my car while doing it. Never plan on getting rid of it so it starting as a v6 doesn't bother me at all. Also the sentimental value of mine overcomes fixing the gt

your crazy, just put a clutch into the GT and fix it!

[Mr. Red Pony]

I would have both. I'm sure it would be cheaper on insurance to put the V8 in a car that is registered as a V6. But too much effort. Body swap vs. clutch swap... I can do a clutch in less than 2 hours.

Agreed. I can't for the life of me see tearing apart a perfectly fine running car. That's one sexy bitch, too!

If youre going to do it anyway, just drop the entire thing out of the bottom. If it fits. lol

[StoneColdStang]

I was going to say the same thing. He would be crazy to tear that good car apart. Put a clutch in it and call it the day.

[Green_6er]

+1 to fixing the gt. bro, just replace the clutch and drive that bitch because that is one sexy ass white car. but then again i have a thing for white mustangs.

[6BangEr]

In case you haven't heard... just fix the GT...

[Froush]

Yeah yeah. I know you guys think I'm crazy for doing that. But sara beth (the v6) just means too much to me and I think it will be a fun project. I'm not gonna just throw it away afterward I'm probably gonna find a salvage and just take it back to stock. Plus the body on the gt is in rough shape. Little dents and dings all over the place and underneath has quite a bit of surface rust whereas the v6 doesn't. I do know how easy it would be to fix the gt but I really want to have an awesome project

[xtreme 2]

wow great deal! Keep us posted on project pics.

[Tang Stang]

I really think you're making a mistake by tearing apart that GT.

Agreed. You're out of your mind.

If I would have found a Cobra on the cheap, I wouldn't have bought it to swap over to my car, I would have sent that bitch to the crusher and driven the Cobra.

Sidenote: I bought my GT for $3500 with a bunch of mods. Didn't think it was that stellar a deal.

[Froush]

To each his own. Id rather have a clean title v6 that I put together than a salvaged gt the somone else put together and doesn't look anywhere near as good as the v6. I think its a good project.
