I'll have my Crown Vic on the road again soon. Yeah, It's ugly as sin, but I think it will be a very reliable vehicle with a new tranny. I originally wanted to put the engine in my Ranger, but I wanted it to go in with fuel injection, but Harmon doesn't feel comfortable doing it. He's more old school like that. So, if I want him to do the V-8 conversion, it has to be carbed.
I'e been told the Mustang GT is an ideal match, but darn hard to find a whole car that is worth it as a parts donor. I have actually seen one of these and talked to the man that did it. "Not too easy, but not as hard as you'd think for a whole custom swap. Almost everything matched up perfectly." And it was a beast, too.
Since I'm on a junkyard budget, I'll wait untill the perfect deal comes up. I missed out on a perfect 302 for $100 dollars.....oh well. That project will need to wait abit, I suppose. If I can hold off on buying a car, I might try to get a motorcycle. They are much cheaper on gas after all.
