This 1965 Mustang Engine Swap Proves Everyone Wrong
We've got a 1965 Mustang fastback sitting in the shop — and it is NOT stock.
Mustang 2 front suspension, RideTech 4-link rear, widened tubs, Moser rear axle,
Wilwood brakes on all four corners. This thing is ready to make some serious power.
The question is: what power plant goes in it?
I threw around the LS. We talked about big block Fords, Coyotes... and then we
went ahead and dropped something in the engine bay that you'll never guess.
It makes gobs of power, fits well, and the room
on both sides of this thing is almost perfect.
This ain't a done deal. I wanna hearYOUR opinion. Tell me yes. Tell me no. Tell me I'm
crazy. But watch before you judge.
