Ok, i missed the part where you decide what motor belongs in what car. Would you be this upset if a guy put a 300 I-6 with a turbo instead of the toyota motor? Would that still be qualified as a bastard child tranny or would that be like a chick with a busted ravioli? Or would it be cool cause its a ford motor?

i dont think so because he does not work here anymore (Banned)
Well, natured decided what sex is supposed to have the penis and which one isn't. Ford decided a 5.0 belongs in a Mustang. That's good enough for me. You've made it clear that you're just fine with funny engines being where they don't belong....i make no assumptions on your acceptance of wieners being where they don't belong...your business is your own
speaking of Crane how long is he gonna get the ban stick for
Well ALRIGHTY Then!!! I'm trying to determine if any of this stuff is aimed at me. (if it is please humor me and quote it correctly)
I said "sea of mustang after mustang" not "sea of the same old 5.0 bolt on cars".. I expected that it would ruffle a few feathers, there is evidently purists in this forum too.
The fact of the matter is this. all I was trying to say is that it is straight up BS to think that changing the engine out in one of these cars is "bastardizing" it.
It is all about the level of what you're willing to accept as "improvements" before you start bastardizing your car....i.e. you get it making big power I'm talking 1500 hp, and despite your ford loyalities,...that C-4 is not gonna be up to the task. Now to avoid all kinds of broken junk, you're putting in an aftermarket chevrolet design based POWERGLIDE in order to make the race.
The car doesn't care what engine it has, people are the ones that get a bug in their ass over it. People will say that I have bastardized my notch because it has 68 tailights, and a 02 2v motor in it, SO WHAT!
And face it...I like fords....I have never put anything but a ford engine in any car I've modified, (even the ricer I posted pics of earlier). But despite the fact that I like fords doesn't mean that a modified mustang (using current mods) is'nt still just another damn mustang. The car can be 100 different colors, and underneath it's STILL just a mustang.
This is where I get all bothered by the mentality of it all,... I am old enough to remember a time when you picked up any car mag,.. car craft, hot rod popular hotrodding etc. and it was cover to cover Camaro's. You got sick of seeing story after story of the same old crap. It was one of the reasons I held on to my 69 mach1 back then.. it was different!
There wasn't anything you could do to the windsor back then, there were'nt any heads or good intakes, & what there was was expensive. You had to work to make it fast. Unlike Joe bowtie, who only had to throw a few commonly available parts together and he couldn't help but go fast.
The mustang has become the camaro of the 70's,.... they're everywhere, you can't spit out of your window w/o hitting a mustang. I like the car, but I don't take offense when somebody modifies it. I said on a different thread that what happens to a mustang after the decision to make it a purpose built drag car is far worse ( in most cases) i.e. gutted interior, "sawzall radiused" wheel wells, a single plastic race bucket, automatic shifter welded on a stand 6" above the tunnel w/ an electric shift solenoid changing gears, and the essential delay box some how fastened to the dash where the radio used to be. to anything that could happen to it at the hands of a capable builder/modifier regardless of what he puts in it.
For someone to make references to anyone that modifies a car w/ different running gear to somebody w/ sexual identity issues,...
It's a car dude,.. no bodies talking about endorsing a sex change.
For those of you that were put off by these and earlier comments,....sorry
or get a life, which ever applies.
werd on da street- tree monfs, although he swears he won't come back....
you did a nice job dodging the question there
