Hello all!!! As one could tell from my username, I had a 98 Sixer. It's gone now and in place I have the WONDERFUL JOY  (sense sarcasm much?) of owning a 98 Eclipse. After I finish the body and paint, I'm selling it. I'll be looking for a 94 or 95 V6 Mustang (preferably with a blown engine/trans). My intent is to build a considerably quick drag car that would be street legal; hence the 94 or 95 year choice. I plan to put in a Performance Automatic Super Comp C4 with transbrake. The main thing I want to do is stand out in the crowd; to be truly unique. Everybody either runs a regular 302 or a 351W/C in the SN-95s. I want to go a different path.

My engine choice:
Carb 460 BBF w/ 557 stroker kit (and a bunch of other goodies I'll post later)

Also available to me is a 351M, but I have heard that they are pretty much worthless. A 95 Cobra 302 is available as well, but I really want a carb engine and going from a 232 V6 to a 302 V8 wouldn't really get me any further ahead by the time I finished it. I know that this project is a big undertaking, but it's something I want to do. Seriously, how many SN-95's are running a BBF and are street legal?

I already know that the radiator/mounts will have to be moved forward and an electric fan will have to be used (also in a more forward position) What else? Obviously, a C4 to C6 bellhousing will be used as well. Any ideas will be helpful!!!

OH!! I'll post "the list" next week at some point, y'all can give some pointers on that if you feel like it!!!
