It's all just practice and problem solving. Building exactly what I want the way I want it
-
good to see her with all 4 wheels on
exhaust is almost done
-
there is another kit out there that runs about 4k but should go together much better, i'm just glad the shop could make a chromoly front end using what little fit from the kit I got as a template
-
not sure, it came as part of the mustang 2 kit, but I wouldnt recomend the kit, it has cost me another 5k over the 2k purchase of the kit to get it installed. Nothing lined up right and all the metal was very cheap. Shop ended up remaking most of it from chromoly. And was sent the wrong brakes about 6 times, and even one machined off center spindle. Ended up having to go directly to wilwood to get the right brakes and spindles. So dodnt order from this guy http://www.fulltiltstreetrods.com/frontsusp.htm the shop still has some wrong brakes he is refusing to take back. these problems tacked on about 6 months of labor and waiting on brake parts
-
oh nevermind about mustang 2, didnt see the 1st page
-
been a while since I made an update so there is a lot
exhaust is nearly done
got new wheels on her
big tires
and some engine shots
-
lot better than the 200ci inline 6 it came with. Did you do a mustang 2 front end? I had to cut more than I was comftrable with out of the shock towers to fit exhaust so figured why not take em out all together
-
glad to see someone else doing what I did, now there are one of each, a coupe and a fast back. Difference is I love the LS, bored her out and built the shit out of it running a t56 6speed, hits the dyno for ecu tuning this week, shop estimates north of 700bhp
-
beefy cross member and engine mounts
-
at a shop in santee
went with the mustang 2 front end with a steering rack and no more shock towers
bunch of delays trying to get the right parts from the east coast
keep sending me the wrong brakes but the shop is doing the best they can
few more weeks then I can hit the road
-
as long as its the same fit. I just want to get one that doesn't have a spoiler on it
how much you want?
-
went with the mustang 2 weld in front end so spacing changed drastically, gonna have to order new spacers
-
looking for a metal trunk lid for a 69 coupe
preferably in good shape with no rust or dents and near san diego CA
but whiling to pay for shipping if i have to
-
I have a 69 coupe. I am planing to go with this wheel set because i need at least 17s to fit over my wilwood brakes and enough width to handle the built ls1.
they are meant for a 94 - 04 so does anyone know what size bolt on spacer i will need?
right now running some 20's off an 08 so have 2in bolt ons
-
My 69 pumps around 700 out the rear and right now i am running 20x10.5s since it was the 1st thing i found off Craigslist. I want to go down to 17s since that is the smallest i can fit over my brakes. I wanted to know how thin of wheel is too thin? since most classic wheels that wouldn't need the 2in spacers i run now only go up to like 9 or 9.5 inch wide for less than a grand a wheel.
-
and anyone know if a 67 or 68 hood fits on a 69?
-
I'm intending to use the car for dirt track racing, would there be any issue with a fiberglass hood cracking the paint easy?
-
I have found all sorts of fiberglass hoods, but I want to keep the body steel. I just don't trust fiberglass not to crack right after i get a paint job.
-
She Runs!!!!
still need to bleed the clutch and she leaks power steering fluid all over, but at least I'm really close
then off to the shop for exhaust, dyno tune, and alinement
-
finished up the last of the body stuff for now
double check wiring tomorrow then see if she starts
-
gonna be a while, just focusing on getting it driving for now
-
yeah those black ones are 18s
I think fastbacks have more flare to make room for those scoops behind the doors
be my only guess
Stance didn't really change after the swap since the ls1 is lighter than the old 200ci I pulled out
-
rear is 20 x 10.5 but meant for an 08 so had to use 2in bolt on spacers
and the jack stands are on the 9in so that is how they sit on the ground
the f100 suspension gave me one hell of a lift
here is an old pic from before the swap, but after the new suspension and brakes
gonna get these soon as I get to driving it a lot
-
installed the flip open gas cap
still working on the connection to the fuel cell, marine fuel hose didn't work
aluminum electric water pump, cool feature being the outside is an idler pulley so no belt issues
rear fog lights, you know in case I back up in fog
put in the nos and extra fuel solenoids
mounted my tank
my 1969 mustang coupe

good picture of the engine, waiting on radiator to show up so she can run, so almost back on the road
and I've got a lot of wire organizing to do
exhaust finally makes it all the way to the back
