[QUOTE="BadAzztt, post: 16173933, member: 15667"] I appreciate the feedback guys, but I think you all are underestimating the cost of a coyote swap. I have a 2017 coyote twin turbo and 1000cc sport bikes aren’t an issue (I have one of those too). The point of the 67 isn’t to be faster but at least more fun to drive and turn heads. If it’s going to be slower it will at least be more unique. I don’t care the 03 is underpowered compared to the more modern cars but don’t have the urge to drive it that I did, it just sits. Besides the coyote engine I would still need an entire fuel system, power adder, built rear end, transmission, radiator, brake system, k-member, steering, wheels, tune, etc...the cost is far more to buy all that then using what I have. I know because I bought it all for this car. By the time all the parts are compiled it’s easily 30-40K, I’ve priced it multiple different ways. So if I sell for mid to low 20’s I’m way in the hole to buy the rest. I don’t have pics of the car disassembled yet, starting on it soon but am trying to figure how far down to strip it. If there is interest in the shell I’ll leave it whole, if not i’ll take the body apart for parts. Again, I understand the angst around doing this, but have done the research for the better part of the last year. [/QUOTE]
