Hi II owners. I'm new to the forum but not new to the II. I have a 75 street coupe and 77 project coupe. Just wanted to join so I could post and gather some Mustang II education at the same time.

Hello. (I'm pretty new too, been here a couple weeks now)

Hello again. CobraIILover, Cobra7, 77Sleeper, fastmustangII, and Blue Thunder. Thanks for the welcome to the forum.
Cobra 7 - I'll put some pictures of my 75 coupe up once I figure out how to work the system. This car has a 308 with a Crane flat tappet cam, Crane Hi-6 ignition, ported and polished Windsor Jr. heads, Holly 650 DP, Edelbrock Performer Intake, Heddman headers, World Class T-5 w/centerforce dual friction clutch and a 3.80 Detroit locker. The frame is tied with SSM lift bars. The car runs strong for what it is. My 77 is a roller ready for paint but not sure which type of drivetrain yet. Thinking of a 427 crate stroker with worked AOD but haven't decided yet. I might can that idea and pick up a Cobra.

Whew the memories are flooding back now!!! Get ready for some real work there.

But welcome, Its great to have another voice in here.

JonDawg, thanks for the welcome to the forum.

I know it's some work involved but in the long run it will be well worth the effort. I'll just need to stock up on rear tires if I give it the go ahead.

 

[IICrazy]

you have some pretty ambitious plans that I like. Welcome to the forum

 

[LedZ 5.0]

IICrazy-thanks for the welcome to the forum. It's nice to have ambitious plans as long as the money is there to back it up. Years back I wanted to do the 385 series transplant but wasn't too sure about all the extra weight on the front end. Since the stroker crate motors have been more readily available from reliable builders like Coast High Perf. it makes things a lot easier. I've been eyeballin' the 427 and 435 strokers for a long time. Plenty of displacement for a sleeper with a nice smooth idle and quiet exhaust tone. Also, a nice add on would be steel wheels with the cop car dog caps.

 

[COBRA 7]

Get your big motor in and maybe your car will do this.

COBRA 7-Nice picture! It was years ago that I wanted to try the 429 or 460 transplant. Now I'm more interested in the 351W strokers.
