Owned a '65 coupe and a '66 GT Conv....both K Code 4 speeds. Please, keep us posted.
I'd like to see one with the engine and drivetrain out of a modern v-6 and overdrive transmission.Project took a slight downward turn…. Engine is seized and oil has coolant mixed. I’m in the market for a 351W or a 302 now.
I’m going to pause on the going too fast on the mustang to get the EFI 4.0 engine into the CJ7. Once that’s done, I’m going to pill the boat anchor and trans from the mustang then start the rust repairs.
My father in laws mustang has aModern 5.0 (iirc) with a race grade transmission that can handle 1000lbs of torque.I'd like to see one with the engine and drivetrain out of a modern v-6 and overdrive transmission.
If he is still around @spittinfire and/or his dad might be able to help you out.
I’ll send you a PM. Engine toast…What did I get volunteered for??
Been involved in more than few Mustang restorations other stuff as well. IF you need drivetrain stuff, yes we can help. We have done countless SBFs and my dad is a Tremec dealer among other related products.

No snicking it out, I assume your speaking of the front main drive gear.How hard is it to swap the input shaft? My top loader came out of a big block, so the pinion is the wrong length for the small block. I’ve read the main cluster could come apart without the “right took”.
I appreciate your insight here!
Who are you using for the front end? I have used both Opentracker Racing and Street or Track for various projects. Both are great to deal with.
