Sad to say that my classic mustang which I was building is no longer going to be able to be finished and safe for racing due to newly found and previously hidden body/frame damage done by a previous owner...
Now the good news. I do have a build 331, all the accessories (that are off of a 65 mustang, meaning water pump, fan, ect.), a good toploader, and also a full MSD ignition. The intake side of the motor is a prosystems carb, air gap, AFR heads.
So I now need a cheap roller/driver to put my motor in, and get on the track. Obviously I'm looking at fox bodies, and also to some extent SN95 cars. I want to stay carbed, and stick (I want to reuse my clutch/flywheel). I already have 5 lug rims w. slicks and skinnies, and all the old foxes look to be 4 lug. I assume this can be swapped out.So what donor cars should I be looking at to best complete this swap? I'm semi-worried about how to deal with the computer/electronics in the later cars when running a carbed set up. Give me some direction..I'm pissed and need a car to start wrenching on again soon.
And I'm sorry if this is a topic beaten into the ground guys. I searched and didn't find many threads which answered such a broad question.
