66 Mustang with Viper power

[spddmnjay]

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
