Fastbackmustang

hmm well I do keep good maintenance with both my cars. So your saying with an old car setup. all I would do is just change the oil when needed, keep air regulated, and just the basic tune up every 3-6 months. If this is possible than I'll go old school. But I spoke to many old timers who have driven these cars, heck there is one guy I know who owns a 67 and he says he's always messing around with it and wishes he can leave it alone for at least 2 weeks but he never can. so once I get this car going (I'm first getting the interior all fixed up) what should I go from there? (cheapest) route I don't mind if my fastback is slow. Just as long it rides decent!

A 99 Mustang GT 4.6 L V8 is what I have. I just want to get threw this project because I was told with these older type cars, they need to frequently be work on because something usually goes wrong within that very month. My thought is why not just replace newer equipment with older body. Have everything mounted on right where everything is in tact. However I was wondering is the engine bay big enough to fit everything a 99 gt has. You say its cheaper to get a 302 and put it in...however wouldn't it need to be strongly maintain every day to make sure it runs well...also on top of that i was told that usually it mis fire when cranking up and needs maintaineance.

ok maybe my second thought was a little out there, but thats what I'm trying to do... but not like that lol just a expression (70 fastback look with 00 gt internal) Rx7 with a v8, that sounds wild! you got a youtube video of it? I'm having a mechanic help me doing the swap for me. He tells me it be a odd project but it doesn't hurt to try. He also said if there is any issues he would gladly to take a look. If the swap works will I have a normal daily driving car? also I notice you said that there is sites that are dedicated to this.. Do you have those sites? that can help me how to get started?

My point is I have a v8 mustang that I don't use. Why can't I just strip it and slap it on my 1970 fastback? I was told and even seen that older type parts for these old cars usually needs to be checked up once or twice a week to make sure everything is running properly and however something can still end up messing up. Why not just give it all brand new parts?

Well guys what I mean is can I replace my v8 mustang internal parts onto this blank 1970 fastback ? in other words a swap of everything. That way I can easily get it fix if something goes wrong because it will be up to date and less time in the shops every month or so. I just want a decent 1970 fastback as a daily drive. why would this cost alot by the way? I got a cheap old gutted fastback for under 2k all internal will cost me 2k and the rest would be just replacing everything from a newer mustang (4th gen) onto the 1970 fastback which should be 5-10 k right? what makes this such a hard issue? I notice a few people say its possible but it will cost alot??? why? I mean heck I even wonder if I should just remove all the exterior paneling of a v8 mustang and replace it with a old 1970 fastback exterior paneling. that way the out look is the old look and inside is new. (is this possible also?) thnx:euro:

Hey guys I'm getting a old fastback that needs to be restored. Whats a good site to purchase stuff for under the hood so I can get it on its feet again? How much would it cost? also is it possible to get a 4th gen mustang 90's early 2000 v6 engine in a 1970 fastback?

lol thnx, no you guys haven't scared me off..but it looks as though it would be best for me to just first go in the military than when I retire work on one. I personally thought I could buy a decent running 69/70 stang that needed exterior work and interior work for under 10k oh well at least I'm driving my first dream car and thats the 3gEclipseGT:tongue_smilie:

your good pakrat, you are one with words. I truly love the look of the 69/70 mustang....it just has that tough look to it that alot of newer mustang don't really have... I would never be caught owning any other type of mustang because truly I'm not a big fan of ford but I'm amazed of what they did in the 1969 and 1970.... I wish in 2010 they bring that look back...the 5th gen mustang is to bulky looking for me but it does looks nice...but yea I do want a fastback...even if its 0-60 is 10 lol (thats terrible) but I just want that look... plus I'm working on my eclipse for speed, trying to get it at 5.2 0-60 :shifty:

wow back in the 60's did everyone had to do this? the whole idea of me wanting one is slowly going downhill and looking towards this one guy thats selling a 77 vette. He says its been running fine for the past 2 years since he got it. But I really wanted a fastback over a vette...you pop me bubble alright... I didn't like how you says it needs to be worked on at least once a week...thats nuts, yea sounds like a hobby for someone who is retired. So my only bet is to just renew it all...
