Hi my name is Juan and i am new to the forums and i have a few questions
I recently got a 1966 mustang coupe with the original I6 in it and i have been reading info about a V8 Swap and i have absolutley no mechanical skills but i want to learn so how hard is it to do it?
I have been reading tutorials on here and on average joe restoration about restoring the mustang. On average joe he starts dissasembly on the inside then works to the front then to the rear is that a good way to start?
And the car has some rust spots so i am going to get it media blasted should i get it painted while its at the shop?
as for all the parts to do the swap they say i can find most parts used but can i get the parts for the swap new?
i have been looking on craigslist and found a 9in rear end for a ford would this one work i also found a 8inch for $50 less and its a 5 lug from a V8 with 3.23:1 ratio
ill update this post with some pictures soon
