[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16335482, member: 70025"] Hello All, As some of you know I have a 65 Mustang that I started to build back in 2010. I got it finished in 2012, but it 2015 I blew the motor and ended up selling the entire drive train. I wanted to rebuild the car, but the plan back then was pretty lofty. I wanted to build a serious resto mod and install the powertrain of a 2003 Cobra. I even went as far as purchasing a 2003 Cobra convertible in 2016. Well, I realized I bit off more than I could chew as I did not have the tools or money to pull such a build off. So, the 2003 Cobra convertible was added to my stable. So, I decided that I will put 65 Mustang project into a more manageable category. My finances are in a better place and I am able to still do some pretty cool things with the tools my brother and I have between us. The new plan: [LIST] [*]347 stroker motor (like the one I blew) or possibly step up to a 351W stroked to a 427 :D….. [*]Convert to Holley EFI (Terminator system) [*]Switch from C4 to TKO 600 5 speed from Modern Driveline [LIST] [*]All supporting mods to include: [LIST] [*]Mc Leod dual disc clutch [*]Hydraulic clutch system [*]aluminum driveshaft [/LIST] [/LIST] [*]Ford 9 inch rear end with 3:73 gears [*]Hedits G-Force front end [*]Wilwodod disc brakes all around [/LIST] This build will start the [b][U]SUMMER OF 2020[/U][/b]...…… I will post pictures of my progress once the official build process starts. However, to make a historical reference of the complete build I am posting pictures of the original process. HERE IS MY BUILD AS IT WAS FROM 2010 THRU 2015...…... This is what I started with in 2010...… [ATTACH=full]1614041[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1614042[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1614043[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1614044[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1614045[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
