Help me plan a Mustang build

[FETorino]

If it were me. I'd do a 68 CJ clone on a Roadster Shop full frame. If you really have some $$ do their IRS.

It would be powered by 496ci stroked sideoiler pond AL Block, hydraulic roller cam with a set of BP Edelbrock heads toped with a BT webber intake with EFI. any surprise there

A T56 Magnum close ratio with an RST clutch and a speedway floater out back with 4.10 gears.

EFI will make it a way better daily driver. If you don't really care for vintage Ford power go Coyote.

It would look like this but SLAMMED to the ground.

Or if you have the $$$$$$$$$

I will add my .02cents.A full frame is great if you have the fab skills and time to make it happen.The DSE componets W/full roll cage, would be my choice.I love the fastback stangs.I watch Brian Ferin @ OUSCI run a Bud Moore trans am mustang as fast as anybody on the road course.So w/the right parts and driver Mustangs can be great cars.

I'd go with something close to stock, BUT with the perfect custom touch, something subtle, like gaps, tucked bumpers and a little slam. Go figure. Good luck with it!

We have a Mustang in the shop we will finish up this week, I like those cars after working on a few of them, It has a Roush motor in it.

Tracy,
Any chance you can snap some pics of the interior on the mustang you are doing?

Thanks
Tom

Thanks for all the responses. I think I have found a 65 Fastback and I'm going to go ahead and order a 427 crate engine. Then I'm going to find out how I can get a 11" or 12" wheel back there on some Forgelines with a nice lip.

Tracy, I'd love to see some pictures of the interior and exterior as well if you don't mind.

I'm building a '65 right now, and you're somewhat limited on how big you can go on tires. Even with a DSE mini tub, which relocates a section of the frame rails slightly inboard, you are limited to a 315 out back. If you want bigger then you probably need to look to Art Morrison. I just installed an Aluma frame, and if you are at all interested in one and have questions I'd be happy to answer them.
