Default 65' Mustang Coupe

Hey all, decided to update and move from the intro forum into the project updates forum. Most probably dont remember me, so I'll give a brief "re-intro." My name is Alex, from the Fargo ND/Moorhead MN area, actually going to college at MSUM. Both of my cars (65 Mustang and 67 Buick Special) are down in Detroit Lakes. Progress has slowed on the Mustang, but hopefully the summer will give me more time to work on it over the weekends. (I work in Fargo, so I cant drive down there everyday, especially with gas at $3.60/gal)
Anyway I just picked up a motor for it, at least to help mock-up anyway. Its a LM7 5.3L out of a 04 silverado. I hope to clean it up this weekend, get it painted and whatnot. The only bad part is that its missing some parts (coils, balancer and accessories) and has bad cam bearings. But for $200 im not complaining. Once in the Mustang it will be efi, but I might just mock it up in the mustang then put it into my buick with a carb. I'll probably end up picking up another 5.3L and sticking a turbo on it.
As for the rest of the car, its completely stripped and Im in the process of putting in a roll bar and sub-frame connectors. After that I will probably tackle the electrical, then perhaps install a 4link rear if I make enough money throughout the summer. The Mustang II suspension is installed and ready to go, sorry no pics, for some reason photobucket is being a bucket of... May is kinda a wash, I have alot going on so I dont think the Mustang will see much work done to it
