Set up a "built" chassis

Buying a 4v mod from a Mach 1 (and everything needed for the swap)

Installing the mod motor and everything needed for the swap

Buying the parts to modify the mod motor for 500hp (including the blower)

Installing those parts (including the blower)

Seems like $6-7K is shooting a little low, don't you think?

Uhm no not really.

Uhm no not really.

Good luck! LMFAO!

[91CoupeMike]

Chassis doesn't count because I'm Doing that regardless of swap.

I will wait and find deals and steals. Time is on my side

[91CoupeMike]

Good luck! LMFAO!

Just wondering. What does it Matter what I spend? It's my money.

LMAO.

The Cobra I keep talking about? I never brought it up, but if you need to be enlightened:

You brought up the money part. You were the one that said it would be cheaper. You are the one that will be smoked in the end.

Since that project will never take place, we can run with your current dip-jumper. I'll even give you the jump.

Your race would happen (at best) 3-4 years from now in your perfect world. My scenario can happen in June, if you really want to try.

But it sure is fun trying!

I've completed a couple of mod swaps into fox coupes, including the full interior, wiring harnesses, and hydroboost brakes. I love a nice H/C/I blown pushrod engine. However, technology is where its at. The modular blocks are superior to the 5 liter production pushrod blocks even in stock form. Granted money shouldn't be an issue for a build like this, but after it's done, you'll have the newer technology in an older, lighter chassis. I say go for it. But learn from a mistake I made, don't just grab a 4.6 out of an sn95 and do the swap. Get the good stuff and make it worth while. It will be worth it.
I'm going to undergo another mod swap in the near future, but first I will have to to sell the new engine/trans/vortech combo I have to fund it. The more cost effective way to go is to find a wrecked terminator so that everything is there. That's how I'm going to approach it, which is how I completed prior swaps.

I'd say 3000-3500 on powerplant. Using OEM heads and cams. Just built bottom end.

Dunno if I would go 3650 or t56.

I've done a coupe with an 01 cobra engine and a fairmont with a 3-valve, and had good results with both, but you're going to blow that budget out of the water.

[fordracing19]

N/a.

Pushrods rape ass on nitrous.

With a 320 to the wheels I can break 7s at the track.
With 500 to the wheels I can break 6s.

Plus eaton swaps can be had for cheapppp

On my 88gt I had a 351w,out of the box T/W heads,tfs stage 3 cam, and a 650dp.
With an auto the car ran 7.0@97 n/a 6.30@108 150 shot NOS Cheater kit.

Your right about that...Lol....this dude wants more power yet he went airborne like the dukes of fucking hazzard a few weeks ago with an according to him "slow pushrod engine" and was crying about how much it screwed up his car LMAO...learn to drive first....my advice....get a four banger stang learn to drive it first then a v6..... then climb in the ring with the big 8 boys...gotta learn to crawl before you walk!!! Just my two cents

[jw33]

It's a shit motor that fits in a fox car worse than it actually performs. Great for trucks, but it's way down on the list of great swap motors for a street car.

[YALE]

Mikey should change his name to, "Hard Luck."

[carbd89sleeper]

Im not an expert, but i would go with a 351 swap before I went to a mod swap, Im thinking a 351 swap would be cheaper....oh wait I forgot "pushrod motors are slow"....lol...
