1966 Sprint 200, remake & upgrade
Hello everyone,
I use to browse this forum along time ago to talk about things pertaining to my 1999 35th Mustang, and now i come back to talk about my plans and get suggestions for my 1966 Mustang upgrade.
What i have now:
A fully functional, in great condition 1966 sprint 200. The engine is a I6 and other then the look of the car and its "original" state, there is nothing really exciting about it. It has always been a dream of mine to fix it up, but I've just kept it original. Well now i want to make it not only a classic mustang, but also a mix of old school style with modern power. I plan to upgrade just about everything in the car eventually, but as you all know budgets are tight.
I am flying down to the garage I've had it stored in to drive it back to NC and start working on it. I will get pictures for everyone once i get back in town. I also plan to sell my 1999 35th ed mustang to fund this project.
So what i need to know from you guys, is what projects have you seen here, or anywhere about engine swaps, classic mustang upgrades, T5 conversions, etc.
My budget for this project is about 5-6k and i have access to tools and help for any work that needs to be done, so don't factor those into any equations if you feel the need to post a sort of "over all fund" estimation.
Just so you know i am performing searches on the forums to find information, its alot of stuff to filter through
