... and it still wont fit in my Maverick. :mad:

That's a great idea! I have '70 Bronco and I want to eventually rebuild it. It has a 351W in it now, but that new 5.0 is awesome. My brother-in-law just got a new Mustang GT and he can't say enough good things about the engine. Maybe that's just what the pro-touring Ford faithful needed to get a jump on the Camaros. The new 5.0 is to Mustangs as the LS is to Camaros.

Very cool build Matt. :thumbsup:

BTW, the Ford 5.0 DOHC is on sale for $6145 here.

Have you picked out a drivetrain for this car? It might not be too late to do one, that would put it at the front of everyone's brain if this car was built with a new Coyote in it. Just a thought. Maybe someone will chip in and help develop some new motor mounts and headers to facilitate it. I can't imagine the market wanting to hold back on developing a retrofit for early stangs.

FWIW, I love this project and the rendering. The color scheme, and the wheels are righteous. Can't wait to see the progress! :thumbsup:

Goolsby Customs is doing one of the new 5.0's in their Mustang. Supposedly, they had one of the very first motors snuck out of Ford. We had the engine here for mock up in their chassis. It looks like a realy nice, user firendly piece, unlike the 4.6L and 5.4L's

Oh, we have a drive train alright. Check the specs at the beginning of the thread.

Here are some update pics taken a couple days ago aver at Mick's Paint. The rear quarters were pulled out about 1 1/2" on either side. the wheel wells have also been mini-tubbed which will allow us to clear the monster 345 meats on the back. The quarters were a lot of work, but unless you knew it or had a stock Mustang next to it, you wouldn't know it. The front fenders that will be made in carbon fiber have also been widened to accomodate a wider tire and give us a little lip on the front wheels. If you were to look at the car from above, it would have a subtle hourglass shape.
