Ok so to mount the engine and trans all you had to do was swap a k member from a 94-95 car right?.. If so I'm fucking doing it !!

Why not get a MM one, then you get the added benefit of tubular, and a 5.0 ;p

Thanks for the warm welcome guys and thanks for the compliments on the car. Here's a link to the entire build up: http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-for...gt-drivetrain-to-1999-v6-vert-chassis.837117/

I would have taken more pics but a lot of times I was working on the car alone and it was hard to snap pics and do the work! lol

Well, it's a little more complicated than that. To be honest, if I didn't have a running and driving 94 GT donor car I don't think I would have tackled this project. I literally swapped every single wiring harness and fuel line in the car. The great thing is since the 94-98 and the new edges are essentially the same car, all the holes in the body for wiring clips and everything were still there for the 94/95 wiring!

Here's a video right after the swap was complete (nevermind me talking in the vid, wished I would have just STFU! lol)

I have a perfectly fine 94 I just don't want to take it for salvage inspection.. I don't think they would pass it based on the upgrades, and being completely gutted.

Plus I think a big turbo 302 would be right at home in a 99 with the 03-04 body panels.. Hmm.. The fuckin wheels are turning bitches!
