[QUOTE="krashyman, post: 5504869, member: 51997"] A couple of months ago, I posted on this site in another thread about my 1965 Mercury Comet project that will have the GT500 engine in it. I didn't want to create a project thread until the engine arrived in the shop. Well, it has arrived and so I wanted to post some pics in case people are interested. Basics of project: 1965 Comet unibody, cut away from the frame, installing an Art Morrison Max G chassis, GT500 engine, T56 tranny (or TR6060 if we can get one in the aftermarket), 18-inch Bonspeed wheels, BFG g-force KDW tires, Alpine stereo system (HU, amp, sub, and speakers), and basically everything else to make the whole deal, other than the body, modern and up-to-date. The concept of using the GT500 engine was added mid-way through the project -- we originally were going to use the 4.6L 03/04 Mach 1 replacement engine -- and it's going to be fun to have that motor in the car. And, the Art Morrsion chassis means that the car will be able to handle the HP and torque of the engine. I'll probably limit updates to this thread to engine-specific stuff (given that this is a GT500 forum), but I thought I'd start it off with a bunch of pics of the project to date. Full updates can be found at the project thread on the pro-touring site: [url]http://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18856[/url] Anyway, I've really enjoyed the input from the pro-touring guys over at the other site, and it would be great to get the views from the GT500 guys over here.
