Ford Mustang: 65 coupe conversion

Wendell,

Since your going to be adding in more weight, and more muscle to the
6 cyl car, your going to find it more economical to sell the car and buy
an original V8 car............Suspension, brakes, cooling system, motor,
transmission, rear end all will need to be upgraded from the 6cyl
car................

You've actually got two projects in one going in there. The first one would
be converting the 6 cyl to an 8. If it were a swap between vehicles of the
same year ('65) you could go here
www.geocities.com/MotorCity/3573/Special/6to8.htm to get an idea of whats
needed. The second project would be putting a later model, probably
fuel-injected, engine in there. www.windsor-fox.com/ would be a good
starting point for information on putting a later model engine in the car,
to give you some idea of what you'd be getting into, although I think they
expect the baseline car to already be a V8. So what you'd essentially be
doing is upgrading the car to handle the V8, and then upgrade to the late
model V8. You'd need to research both processes to avoid unnecessary rework
or replacement. If you like to challenge your skills and patience, this
sounds like an excellent way to do it. Good luck!
