Want.

Wonder if the 5.0 V8 and 6-speed manual of the current generation Mustang will fit in there....

It's all just wishfull thinking, though.  :cry

I always thought it would be cool for the automakers to come back out with classics except with modern drivetrains.

Sax, I don't know about the newest 5.0 but the 5.0 Windsor (302) they used until the fourth generation has been (relatively) unchanged over the years meaning it could be installed with a minimum of modifications.  They continued to use the 302 in the explorers (and mountaineers) up until the 2002 model year so it's possible to get a relatively modern drivetrain implanted from one of those.

I have no experience with the '10/'11/'12 5.0 engine but I suspect it's completely different altogether.

None of the late model dual overhead cam engines Ford has will fit in that Mustang due to the shock towers in the engine compartment.  You cannot cut them down as they are integral to the structural integrity of that year model.

However, the old overhead valve 302 will fit just fine.  The transmission tunnel on the first generation Mustang will be tight if you try to use anything other than a top loader (4 speed) or a C4 automatic.  The manual Tremec transmissions used in the late model Mustangs is wider and longer.

If nothing else it ensures that there will be quality steel body parts if you want them.

Dynacorn has been doing this since 2008.....

Gimme the 68 Fastback body.    

http://www.dynacornclassicbodies.com/classic2.html

I talked to them at length, at the 2009 Autorama here in Detroit.    Great bunch of guys and very helpful.   Topshelf product that is superior to the OEM body shells.


Oh yeah, they do Chevy Camaros/Chevelles IIRC.

Beat me to it- I've been looking into making a repro '69 Mach 1 myself. Would be a long project, but oh so worth it...

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.
