68 Mustang from the Philippines
 

I retired 5 years ago. So I have sometime doing cars that I would like.

It was then the height of the Eleanor craze so I tried to do one. I found a good body that cost me about $1000. Since buying the Eleanor kit and shipping it to the Philippines will be very expensive so I did everything in steel.

I wanted to put the largest Ford engine and I found a 460 for $500. To ease installation I opted to remove the shock towers and move the engine 10 inches to the rear.

And since moving the engine 10 inches to the rear will live a large void in front so I tried fitting 4 small turbos.

Please understand that this project will be done using 2nd hand parts to be cheap, since performance parts are very expensive in the Philippines.

Another shot of the engine bay with 4 turbos, 2 intercoolers , pipes are custom built. Oil and water supply for the turbos will be a dedicated system and separate from the engine.

I also found a complete C4 Corvette suspension and adapted it to the Mustang.
Surprisingly, it was a fit!

looks good, but why are there pics of 2 different cars?

Since everything south of the engine will be moved 10 inches also, I did a six point roll bar and made a custom dash.

The floors are all rusted up so I decided to remove the floor boards and do a space frame backbone.

The car has been turned to a true 2-seater.
