I'm bouncing around the idea of buying a running 302 car as a doner for my 65 coupe. Pulling the 302 installing new bearings & rings, new cam, new distributer, removing the EFI, installing an intake & carb. Strip the car of its drivetrain and sell (or give) the body to a salvage yard. I do not need a rear end but I know the Jeep guys are always looking for 8.8's. I also prefer a doner car w/ an AOD till I can swap in a T5. A T5 car would be awesome but that means a Fox Mustang which I cant find for less than $1,500-2,000 in trashed condition.
Any idea what would be a good CHEAP doner w/ best sellable additional parts: LTD, Crown Vic, Explorer, Lincolns? I'm watching Craigs List for a deal. I might even drive the beater till 30 day tags run out. Opinions? Thanks!
