Its going behind a c4 auto trans, i was wondering if anyone has used a ford AOD transmission in a stang II. also can i convert from a ghia to a coupe? i want to get rid of the landau top

 

[jbortmas]

Yes and Yes cobra351 on here http://www.mustangii.com/forums/default.asp has done the AOD and for ghia to coupe there is a filler panel for the windows you would need coupe windows and trim and when you remove top you may have some rust to tend with

any updates???

got the car back and have the motor sitting in there.

I bought a front spoiler from mustang unlimited part# M113. and i have a front valance, It seems like i got the wrong spoiler because it doesn't want to fit. do i have to massage it a little bit, i know its fiberglass so it shouldnt be to hard.

Looking good keep the updates and pics coming

 

[maddcarson]

Some updates on the front end.

 

[jbortmas]

Can you post the specs on your motor Im going to be putting a 347 together this winter and Im trying to get everything figured out

 

[maddcarson]

have most of the serpintine setup done, just need to hookup the power steering pump. im not sure if i have the right bracket for it, and the oil dipstick i got wont fit because of the alternator/smogpump bracket. any body have one from an 87 5.0?

 

[maddcarson]

Got it sitting on the ground!

 

[maddcarson]

Closer to being done, its off to the shop for some dial in and some stuff hooked up.

Your car is looking good, I bet that thing will definitely get on down the road with that motor and set up. Your hood scoop however looks like the one that came out on the 68 Cobra Jets. You may have had fitment problems because it's facing backwards.

 

[maddcarson]

I flipped the hoodscoop because the guy that put it on had a few and said it looked better backwards, I have the engine out because were getting a bigger cam and im painting under the hood a semi-flat black. It looks pretty sweet. all post up a pic after i finish painting, also im getting a custom made torque converter from wholeshot with a 2200 stall. it has a b&m shift kit in it already so its gunna S**T & Get, haha Probley going to be the fastest car around school

 

[maddcarson]

new paint under the hood!

New switches and new Gauges
