just put a "FORD" sticker on it. I work at a Ford plant in Windsor,Canada. No matter where the part is made,US,India,Mexico,or here,the sticker makes it a "Ford" part so it has to be good.Right? No? Maybe? Well the sticker says Ford. |

I applaud the creativity, and agree, seeing as where it is located, that's a reasonable power plant. And, I like it better than any GM 'engine'.
I really don't like GM....... |

The rear IRS is suspension is from Toyota Aristo(aka: Lexus GS400) 
Here how they fit the IRS to the car.
This thin sheet metal is just for mock up though, actual piece is a thick unit.

The track width is about 2 inch wider. So stock mustang wheel fitment will be a problem. However the 94 and up Mustang wheels will fit perfectly, they have the similar PCD(114.3) and backspace as Toyota.
The owner test drive it on freeway last month and said that it run great. The only concern now is the body flex under race condition. I think that the full roll cage will help stiffen the body by a bit. Will know for sure how well it perform when we race it on the track, though.

nice work! I thought I was out of the box when I cut the body off a 95 T-bird and put the 67 fastback body on top. I like that it is not your typical mustang II front, coil overs in back and standard SB or BB.Nice creativity and using what you got. HOWEVER, it does not sit well with most Ford/mustang people to use an Asian car/parts on these.Love the work,craftsmanship,and idea, not crazy about the make of parts. But, customer is king,and money talks. Like to see it finished. |

just dont put a gigantic aluminum wing, APC & NOS stickers and cheesy ricer graffics all over it. i dont mind the motor as long as it still looks like classic muscle. my buddy neal has a 94 stock twins & 97 single 66mm supra. he would love to take a ride in this car  |

I think it's freaken sweet, not much for asian parts in a mustang, but the idea is there and it still looks like a stang on the outside. I have done some crazy swaps simply because I needed the car running and no money. Looks good.

Although I like seeing interesting engine swaps, I personally think that import motors have no place in a classic Mustang. So thumbs down.  |

| | > Hi, Y'all,
I think it's a bad idea to put IMPORTED engine on Mustang.....
..... It's bad 'cuz I should have done the same myself ...but I didn't....
and that is ..... bad !
Classic on the outside....modernized stuff on the inside.....is just a right attitude for Bangkok.
Why not...
'Cuz you don't have the corner muscle parts store like PAW in Chatsworth... or overnite Mailing house Summit...there.
So you make do...whatever suit....
But hey, .... Supra's sus on Mustang ain't bad... it fact it may beat the shi... out of old classic...any brands.
There is a plan to get a rumbling - drifting race ... on for this J-Mustang vs. the below car....
your betting money going to which one now.... ?
Cheers,
.

WOW,awesome cars. That's a little more stomach pleasing combo than the Asian combo in a classic mustang. I guess the times are pretty good over there compared to here in North America. Nice work! |

I dont like the J-Z mustang myself, but it is atleast ineresting. And not being from bangkok I dont have an argument for why not. I guess it's a 'you gotta be there' thing. And as far as the post a few up..... I don't understand what you are saying but I like the blue stang you got there. |

Looks good. Who cares if its a FMC engine or not, It's got a I6 and thats all I care about. I love inline sixes. I want to do something like that myself. It looks like alot of hard work was put in to it. Atleast the rest of the world knows an I6 benefits from not having a combined intake/exhaust unlike most of the I6's built here; Fords 160, 250, 200, 300, GM"s lineup probably the 4.2 I6 too, Jeep's 4.0(which I like) Mopars Slant six. Seems like the only ones built right were the Cummins. Good work man, I hope to acomplish something similar one day.
