Keep it simple, 410 cubic inches, full cage, built auto, and a Ford 9". It will never be pretty but she can be fast.

Plan is 2x3 frame so i can get A arms or struts up front, 350 cube carbed LS engine, th400, 14 point cage, ford 9", and possibly a very small shot of nitrous. lol
i want 8.90's or better on pump gas. with a curb weight of 2000lbs if i can get it to 750hp and 2600lb race weight, its easily doable.

I'll never get tired of that meme. This should be an interesting project. Providing it proves successful, let's see a snazzy upgrade for a Pinto on your next one.

That short wheelbase combined with a lot of power will prove for an........um......eventful ride lol. You will constantly be fighting the rear end wanting to pass the front......fun stuff.

Yes, and fast hands! I once drove a Miata with a 302 from a Mustang in it.....I still laugh at how insanely fun that car was for the short 10 or so minutes I spent behind,the wheel.

its gonna take a while to build it but it should be fun when done. plan is a 3x2 rear frame along the lines of this, with a welded A arm front clip to make the frame.

SO your going to " back-half" the car. That's a beautiful set up....Love the narrowed rear. It is so skinny, axle will be short. I was wondering if your were going to do something like that to the front. Who is that set up made by, Art Morrison? Going to be a beast, wish I lived near you to check it out.

Thats a art morrison 4 link. i really would rather ladder bar. thats a nice kit but kinda spendy. $3150 as pictured plus shipping which is around $400. im looking around as im not going to order the kit just yet. over the winter ill strip and prep the car then work on the frame in the spring. That 4 link setup is really well setup and there is alot of things i like about it. will have to see what funds look like. This is the front end i really want. Chris Alstons chassis works. $2319 minus the brakes plus shipping..... shipping sucks

Strip the car first, Remove everything that's not needed for an even lighter car... LOL. I'm in the process of purchasing a 1998 Mustang Cobra for a new project car too. =P I can't decide whether I'm going to do an LS swap or a 2JZ swap.. Either way a disgrace to the Mustang, but I love it!

You want a mustang to swap get a fox body. Way lighter. Fox body with a big block chevy in it is a killer setup. I would do a ls swap before a 2jz. Just for ease of the install.
