Here's my plan of attack for my 1966 Mustang Fastback Pro-Touring machine.
Engine: Viper Gen. 2
Transmission: Tremec T56
Suspension: Viper Gen. 2 - independent front and rear
Rear End: Viper Gen. 2
Shocks: QA1 or Air Ride
Brakes: Baer
Wheels: American Racing 427, 17 x 11 rear 17 x 8 front
Chassis: custom to accomodate Viper engine/tranny
Interior: GT40 style dash
Some of you may ask, "Why install a Dodge Viper engine, suspension into a Mustang?". Before I started building this Mustang I had purchased a 1996 Viper GTS Venom 550 Hennessey and was absolutely blown away with the power and handling. I was always looking for some type of unique engine. And then a light went on (blink blink)! Why not a Viper drive-train? YEAH!! I'll do it!!
I also beleive that the Viper and Mustang are somewhat related due to the individuals who helped create them.
Lee Iacocca (Ford President) - Father of the Mustang
Lee Iacocca (Ford President) - Ford Total Performance founder
Carroll Shelby - hired by Lee Iacocca to create a perf. Mustang
Lee Iacocca (Chrysler CEO) - hired Carroll Shelby to create Viper
I will be posting pictures very soon. Stay tuned.
Look forward to hearing your comments...hopefully positive
Cheers
