im going to take the end off of a pair of junk yard cv axles and put them through. so its just like there is a cv axle in there. but wont be. haha all together i currently have 115 dollars between buying the car and blades and welding rods. people say it is an expensive swap. no its not really. and i got this far in i think under 2 weeks. iwas hoping to have it done by next week to go try it out. being stock i think i should be able to run a 13 or 14 on a track with the stock 302 out of an 88 lincoln lsc and i have 3.08 gears in the back. so it should do really great.

have anymore questions. never hurts to ask.
if i had the money i would buy that coupe i always wanted a coupe and bought a 2000 for 500 bucks and turned around and sold it for 1200 haha. wish i kept it though. i would love to build another one of these but with a chevy engine instead of a ford though i am a ford guy. i was going to put this motor into my truck but decided to do this instead. i hope tomorrow i can figure out the motor mounts. my inpiration is coming over ;-) ahaha.

lildj2483 · 05-24-2009, 11:07 PM

well i was going to take the factory k member off of an 83 mustang and go from there. although thats the same thing really but just lighter. if it fits then i am going to take the 4 lug hubs off and put some 5lug hubs on it. and then call it a day. great idea and i apreciate it. but thats a little pricey haha i wanna stay as cheap as possible on it. so if i do twist it and tear it up i wont worry bcause i wont have to much moey into it,lol

lildj2483 · 05-24-2009, 11:09 PM

o and khrys771 dont worry im not quiting even though i think about it at times but im bipolar i will get over it and no i do not have any meds.

lildj2483 · 05-24-2009, 11:15 PM

oh and on a side note also. that if i did infact use the mustang setup in the front.the most fun part about that would be getting all the camber and caster set right,lol but i do have training in that area. im trained in almost all areas as long as its gas. i hate a diesel. i can literally do anything to any vechile and make it work. i need to go to a welding school to learn to weld and make it look professional but they are good enough for now.

khrys771 · 05-25-2009, 01:38 PM

i was how much room you have right now between the crank pulley and the radiator support?

i have some pics of some rwd 302 turbo civic, but the pics arent that great.

lildj2483 · 05-25-2009, 03:11 PM

lildj2483 · 05-25-2009, 07:57 PM

well once i can get some more gas for the welder i will be able to weld up some brackets to hold the fuel injection fuel tank in the trunk. was thinking about mounting it under the trunk but its a little to close to the rearend haha. if it breaks loose it will destroy the tank soo.

khrys771 · 05-25-2009, 08:02 PM

WHAAATT!!!!

lildj2483 · 05-25-2009, 08:04 PM

if only this comp wasnt so. it takes me way to long to search. for me to search around it takes me a long time. to long,lol im on dialup with a pos comp.

lildj2483 · 05-25-2009, 08:26 PM

i seen that video already. its on youtube.

khrys771 · 05-25-2009, 08:32 PM

i found a thread to the other, posted up.
the silver one on the dyno is an S2000 engine.

lildj2483 · 05-26-2009, 11:39 AM

well the 5.0 is locked up for some reason which i will find out later. so my mustang gt 4.6 engine will be getting its chace to see how she fits. measurements are good. my welder is still down right now. so between the weather and the welder being down. not much i can do right now except plan things. im not going to lie what i should have done was planned every little detail out before i started. it would have been alot better but im knee deep into it now i should say haha. well will have an update about the 4.6 fitment.

double0Si · 05-26-2009, 12:16 PM

Screw it. Use this as a learning experience for the next one. Its coming along great for the lack of detailed planning. If you found a decent 92-96 prelude that'd be sick. They HAVE to be made RWD as much as they look like Supras.

khrys771 · 05-26-2009, 01:15 PM

hey D, anyway you can get some pics of how the driveshaft looks as if you were standing with the doors wide open?
