[QUOTE="BadAzztt, post: 16177183, member: 15667"] I realized I risked some backlash when I posted this. No one ever wants to see a perfectly good car hacked up. That said, I have looked at from many perspectives. Getting a wrecked cobra doesn’t really work because I can use, and need to all of the brakes, suspension, etc. I think most arent thinking about the amount of small parts required and just listing the big ones. As for the tech, I still really enjoy the rawness of the terminator engine and the T56. I know I could make more power with another blower but have always loved the scream of the old KB 2.2. What I don’t enjoy anymore is how old the chassis feels, especially being convertible. The ergonomics and layout just feel old, driving my 17GT is far more fun. That said 650 wheel horsepower, a screaming 2.2 out of a 3000lb 67 screams fun to me. Yes, that will feel old and raw, but it should. As for small or big block fords I know it can be done, but I don’t miss the days of old school dumb motors, shitty brakes and 3 speed automatics. A turn key fuel injected, supercharged 67 that will stop and handle will be unique, and fun. I’m not looking to get my money back, I’m looking to take the investment I made and take what I love about both cars to have something I look forward to driving. Appreciate all the feedback guys, I’ll keep you posted on how it comes along. After all, it’ll still have the heart and soul of a terminator. [/QUOTE]
