Oh yea. That was my original plan until I realized that would put me without transportation for a few months until I got everything done. Fortunately a week after I got the Mustang I found another V6 motor in one of the local yards out of an '89 T-Bird SC.
I got the whole motor from the oil pan to the M90 supercharger for $150. I have to get a new timing cover for it and since I have to go that far into it I am going to put new rings and bearings as well.

Even better was the price of the car.
$350 for the Mustang with a blown motor
$100 delivered.
$100 for a set of new motor mounts and used side mirrors.
$150 for the SC motor
I am into the car for $700. I figure another $200 to $300 and I will be ready to register it. I will still need paint and other items to personalize it to make it "my" Mustang but at least I will be able to drive it. Now I just need for my tax refund to hurry up and get here
Rocket, 460 anything does indeed sound sweet. Picture this if you will. 1971 F-250 460 lifting the front wheels off the ground at the drag strip
BTW, page 11 at the end of day 10. Way to go everyone. We are still on track

Boy I seem to check in when most are headed to sleep. Anyway good night everyone. Being retired means sleeping in every day if I want.
The Cardinals did it. We move on to N.O. that will be a tough game. But I never underestimate Curt Warner. He is a winner.
