<![CDATA[Project 64 Chevy]]>Ok. some kids in my auto clas are building a 5.0 mustang as a class project thing. They are braging on how its goin to be so fast and all(hoping for 13s they say), so i decided to continue my work on my 64 chevy pickup since my dad would be paying for the parts. Here is some info so far and some pics.

327 ci sbc
Turbo 400 trans
hurst shifter
high stall converter
12bolt posi
lowered
edelbrock 750 quadra jet
edelbrock performer intake mani
hooker headers
big tranny cooler
flex-a-lite fan
comp cams cam
side pipes
glasspacks
american racing rally wheels
some other crap i cant remember

As you can see it needs a lot of work and unfortunately as you can see in the rear shot the frame is a little twisted. the tranny is getting built over the winter, bed is going to be aluminum or tin, it will have some good sized tubs, who knows what else, maybe build the motor a little more. It needs new wiring and brakes. I think this is going to end up being mostly a drag truck. If anyone wants to give a helping hand your free to help.

it's the way he says it...

It IS infact a 5.0 (psst, that's 302ci)....just not a factory 5.0L car (or, maybe it did have a factory 5.0L and they gernaded it.....maybe it's a V6 car....or a 4cyl car...or maybe Ford just forgot to put a motor in it.)

a '5.0' is not a car.. a Mustang GT/LX is the car with a 5.0L motor.

just like the SVO Mustang is not a '2.3'. it's a SVO Mustang with a turbo 2.3L I4

Also the car is not street legal. no guages except for aftermarket tach, oil pressure, water temp. and volt.

also i dont beleive they had true 5.0 mustangs in that year. but correct me if im wrong.

This is from New Rockford here. The owner and his brother fix up old cars/trucks as a hobby. As you can see, by the meats on the back, this truck does have some serious nuts.

i am a chevy kinda guy but as was said fox body stangs can be made quick for little money.
i would think if you kept the weight to a minumum, set the suspension up right and were able to hook it would be a drivers race.

parts for this thing ar cheaper than parts for my honda....now thats sad....i have many catalogues and have come to the conclusion, all wiring is 500, and the body parts and rubber seals are goin to be the most expensive parts besides tinning the bed. and its a SBC so motor parts are cheap.

It would be cool to find a short box frame tho.
