Fine look and very low...

Stock springs ?
What is tires size ??

Yes, stock leaf spring with 1inch lowering block, and the tire size is 255/35/20 in the back and 215/45/17 up front

I admire the workmanship and engineering that went into that. 4 cyl motors are not my style but thats one fine ride you have there...CONGRATS!

Have you any drag strips in your area?

Thank you for all of the good comment, it make me feel much better now.

Actually 1jz-gte engine is a 2500cc inline six with single turbo. The engine run great and offer lot of touque ,however it dosen't sound like a v8 Mustang at all. That the only weak point of this engine I find so far.....



Wait till I got the traction bar install I 'll take it to the drag strip to see how it run. Hope that it will cure all of the wheel hop problem.

Why yes, I have seen a Toyota motor into a Mustang, actually suspension as well.

That is the one I was talking about, but I'm pretty sure it is not Toyota powered... His site says something about using a Ford 3.8, but I seem to remember seeing pics with a 289 in place.

Yeah, I noticed in this picture that there is definitely a ford engine in that car

didn't really have the patience to actually find out what in it (if anything) IS in fact toyota.

Gowest,did your car come right hand drive or did you convert it??? Sweet looking ride,I bet you dont see many if any other vintage Mustangs around there do you?

 

[CochinoFilipino]

Gowest, That's a great looking project you have there.

I read about the tsunamis that hit. Hope you're alright over there.

 

[BB1966]

I just saw the news with the earth quake and tsunamis, I hope you and yours are safe!!

Originally it was a left hand drive 66coupe and; yep, Mustang is a very rare car here. I think that there more Ferrari here than a Mustang.

 

[Snail50]

damn, now that's original. I doubt there are many classic Mustangs with that setup. It looks really good, too.

and welcome!

I've been thinking about him also for the past several days. What a mess it is over there. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Nice job on the flairs, Do Ya drift it??

 

[mustangman70]

That is a shockingly beutiful mustang, VERY nice work bro!!!!

I love the fenders, about how much horsepower do you think you have with that?

 

[Myfirst67]

This is my just finished project. A very strange swap for a Mustang 66 coupe, a 1JZ-GTE with VVTi engine was borrow form Toyota. Did anyone have any pic or know anyone or any web site that doing such or similar swap. I would like to know.

I could do that

 

[DarkoStoj]

I am very impressed, its nice to know there are people out there willing to try new things

not a fan of rice myself

but what we have here is rice meeting muscle...

It came 280hp stock but I think it will make minimum of 320 hp after I install Greddy Boost control this weekend. After long wait "traction bar" already got here can't wait to have it install.

Left is carcraft fastback which is my inspiration.

crazy

Is that a net hp figure? Flywheel or brake? Is the torque proportional/similar?

 

[gowest]

280 hp @ 6200 rpm at flywheel and peak torque of 378 Nm @ 2400, that what it said on paper but I belive it was more that. Law in Japan not allow to advertise more than 280hp. That why JDM Supra have only 280 hp while US version have 320hp. Stock boost is 0.7bar but I will push it to 1.2 bar. or 17psi. Will have dyno result after have the traction bar install, soon.
