[QUOTE="BadAzztt, post: 16174497, member: 15667"] Guys you seem to think I haven’t done my homework here and I’m guessing about all of this. I have been building cars for 20 yrs. the shop I have doing the framework wrote the book on mod motor swaps, I mean literally wrote the book: [URL="https://books.google.com/books/about/How_to_Swap_Ford_Modular_Engines_Into_Mu.html?id=L2QZDgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=kp_read_button"]How to Swap Ford Modular Engines into Mustangs, Torinos and More[/URL] I know all the dimensions, the parts needed, etc...I have the mechanical know how to do all the motor/trans work. It will take some time to get it all worked out but once it’s done I would be able to get way more for a restomod 67 then the basic 289 C code will fetch. And it will turn heads at every car show. If these things held their value more it would be different but it will be some time before they come back up, and mine is heavily modified. As for keeping the 67 period correct, that’s a concept that is just plain boring. Let’s face it, if better tech was available when they were built the factory would have used it. Old school cool, with a 20th century KB 2.2 scream. On another note, I won’t be ripping apart the Z06, that thing pushes over 900hp to the tire and is a blast to drive...it scares even me a little bit. [/QUOTE]
