I know your pain........
I'm going through the same thing with my 68'
It was probably a straight 6 and some where along the line the v8 was put in, but who ever the lazy a55 was didn't finish what they started.
I agree, another 68stang or cougar is ideal if your going for ORIGINAL. But I guess it all depends on what you got around you. I've learned that a Granada 75-79 is a great doner car for the rear and even the front disk brakes. There's a few sites that give a good break down of how to do this conversion.
But there's one thing that has cought me off gaurd on the rear, the drive shaft! Check the u joint size front and rear. Mine had these real small u joints and I haven't been able to match them to the rear end. I'm now in search of a proper DS.
Well it's good to see I'm not the only one cleaning up others half done work. Good luck, I wish you the best. |
