Re: My other project F*rd

Nice car, love that dark green colour.

I know a guy over here that was trying to fit one of those new Mustang 4.6L modular V8's into an old Ford Capri, gave up in the end and went with a 302 as those new engines are really wide compared to an old sbf and there was no way it was going to fit even with major surgery.

They are wide and major surgery is exactly what was done. shock towers removed and mustang 2 style front suspension installed.

Last night I started tearing out all the wiring because it looked like a rats nest. I am going to do it right this time. Bought a Ron Francis kit for the chasis wiring and also for the 4.6 cobra motor as well. Hopefully this week I can get some headway on the rewire.
