Oddball SN/Mustang Engine Swaps

CC'S95GT · Mar 20, 2015

I've got a 66 coupe and have been tossing around the idea if a 2jz or 1jz swap. It's origionally an inline 6 car so I want to keep the same inline type motor in it. And since the domestic inline motors are few and far in between.... Although I don't know if I can find a thick enough flame suite. I think a BMW inline would be better accepted than a jap motor.

I've seen a few f150's with the old 4.9 liter that had forged internals and a turbo and were beast!!!!! That would be more appealing to me.

Still an inline, still a classic

TRUE but is too tall. Hits the ground and the hood too.

Ford in Australia offers a 4.0L inline 6. Ranges from 209 HP NA to 420HP with a Turbo.

Not sure if these engines can be imported to the US or not.

Something like that would be neat but would break the bank for me, I'd be more likely to just go with a turbo JZ.

I came across this build a few years back. I forget where I ended up seeing this but it's a Viper engine swapped in.

Viper motors have been done a few times actually. Pretty sure the one you pictured belonged to a guy who died. Car was from Michigan. [MENTION=11417]det_riot[/MENTION] knows better then me iirc

That car is dubbed Project Sniper.
Belongs to the owner of Nightmare Motorsports in IOWA. Its been put on the backburner for a few years now. I remember when he started the build thread on TurboMustangs (now the turboforums).

I've wanted to do a XR6 Barra swap in my SN95 but parts availability scars the beejeezus out of me.

1500 lb-ft tq thats insane!

JKady · Mar 25, 2015

Meh, epic isn't usually my word for a Chevy in a Ford, diesel or not. I have also tossed the idea of a Perkins around, there was a Mustang 2 locally that I just missed due to lack of funds with a small perkins and a 4 speed in it, would have made a cool commuter.

Raptor swapped foxbody

I wanted to do this swap so badly, but it's just too expensive.

Then there's this V-10 triton swap mustang II

I've seen a triton 10 swapped SN95 somewhere as well. I've always kinda liked those engines though IMO they're a poor replacement for a 460 in the trucks, I thought they had potential as a car engine. The torque in a street car would be a LOT of tire shredding fun. Looking at car-part even the 2 valve V10 is surprisingly expensive, looks like 1500 is the low end on a used one.

The 6.2 would be awesome as well, but yeah, prohibitively expensive.
