Mustang Hemi Bronco

I was just thinking about potential projects and all of the sudden this I dea popped into my head, what about taking a 1980-1990 bronco because thay are cheap and easy to come by like this : 86 Ford Bronco For Sale or Trade shortining the chassis and putting a 79-93 LX mustang body on it like this: 86 Ford Bronco For Sale or Trade
and putting a new Hemi in it like this:
eBay Motors: 2006-2007 DODGE RAM 1500 5.7L HEMI ENGINE WITH MSDS (item 120248671177 end time Apr-22-08 08:24:03 PDT)
With a 5-spd Rockwells twin turbos and a"funny car" cage. Sound like a good idea?

At best, that's a "SEMI" Hemi.

You want the real thing, you have to go back to the 1950's (thru 1958) or the 1960's.

First Chrysler Hemi: 1951 331 cid = The valve covers said: Chrysler Fire Power. By 1958 it had grown to 392 cid.

Replaced by "the wedge" in 1959. Re-introduced (mainly for NASCAR) in 1964 = 426 cid.

Remember #43?

Richard Petty and his Plymouth. He drove Plymouths before Dodges, and drove a Ford Torino Talladega in 1969.

Maybe I should get an Ex Don Garlits 392 Hemi. His shop is about an hour away from my house. With that power it would go over the mud!

Thornbirds are the worst tire ever. i wouldnt **** on them if they were on fire.

if you got the time and money anything can be done, its just doing it the right way and not taking shortcuts that could pose a safty risk
