May have found a cool driveline replacement for my 85 LX vert.
Found a guy who has a parts SVO and he will sell me the engine etc, from it. The car's shell is rusted pretty bad and his 16 year old nephew has a SVO so he wants to keep the SVO specific body panels for spares. I am thinking maybe grafting T-Bird Turbo Coupe intercooler scoops in the LXs hood if I do this. I'll also be doing a 5 lug conversion but will run late model Bullitt wheels not the SVO ones.
What do you guys think?

It's a popular thing to do these days. I think you'll like it once you get it all together.

You'll need to convert the car to EFI and have to swap over all the wiring crap

My LX has a EEC IV CFI now, when I asked the guy about the engine & tranny I mentioned EEC wiring harness etc. and told him what I wanted it for. He's a Mustang guy too so we are on the same page. I may try to get the front brakes & rearend (although I'd rather go 8.8) etc for my 5 lug conversion too, he really only wants to keep the body panel spares.

You can use ranger driverside axles to do a rear 5 lug swap.

Also the CFI wiring wont work, not enough wires/injector's/etc wiring

Thanks Sleeper, I know the CFI harness & EEC won't work and the CFI harness in my car has "issues" anyway, lol. Point is, there are wiring grommets, an EEC mount, etc. Plus a EFI fuel tank (I know I'll need a SEFI fuel pump though) already in the car so a swap should be a tad easier than if it were a carbed car.
I will probably go with the Ranger axle swap at first so I can put my $ in to the engine swap, I will eventually want to upgrade to a 8.8 though.

Another idea on the hood scoop got to front mounted intercooler. Most svo has done this already. I intercooler above the hot turbo not the greatest idea in the first place. This site has a kit available http://www.stinger-performance.com/stockparts.htmlor do like me I used mandrel bent exhaust u bend and cut angles I need and fab up my own. My intercooler is off junk vw diesel. But going to change that to large one. Way I did mine http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w...5/100_5568.jpg Don't mount vam like I did I have change back to this mount now. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w...5/100_5932.jpg
