Hi, anybody know what it would take to make a crate engine like this fit in a 65/66 body mustang? Any restomod/hotrod articles about it would be helpful (online or magazine references).

Just so you know, the M2 conversion does NOT guarantee better handling. The stock suspension is preferred for good handling. For really good handling, you'd want to go to one of the high-buck setups as suggested above.zathan said:Thanks for the info guys. The need to do the M2 conversion means more work, although it would mean better steering/handling too... I was just playing with the idea of having a reliable and more efficient (mpg wise) late model engine in my daily driver without doing too much work myself. I've seen they fit the cammer engine and wanted to do something like that, but it's not street legal (and expensive) and I wan't to convert my daily driver to a restomod with modern driveline like that... but it's just a dream at this stage. What other solutions should I consider?

A stock modular block will definatly handle much more power than a stock windsor block even a sportsman block.
A cobra crank is forged. All that is needed is a some quality H beam rods and Forged pistons and your good to go with the bottom end.
Aftermarket parts are becoming much more available.

He split the crank, destroyed the block and left two rods in the road behind him.
