Very cool. Love the motor swap. Did you need to mod the dash board? More pics please.
Those wheels gotts go though. 18s is the max. 20s look like a gangsta ride.

that is SICK NASTY!!!!!
That's absolutely awesome. I remember reading about all of your other setups and your car has never been anything but phenominal.
I personally like the wheels. Put some big brakes behind them and they'll look fantastic.
What do the Viper guys think about this swap?

does that style wheel come in a 5 spoke? if so i think they would look even more sinister. nice project tho!
+1!!!! Why didn't anybody think of this engine swap before? That is just ****ing awesome! You have to keep us updated on the progress of that monster! The wheels couldn't look better!! Great work! :bowdown: :rockon:

Wheels look retarded....other than that...should sound like a 5 cylinder? Way to get rid of the V8 sound while adding weight at the same time! :thumbsup:
All I can say is Daaamn!
ROFL!
Someone is actually badmouthing swapping a 488ci. V10 for a 281ci. V8 because it "doesnt sound as good and adds a little weight" :lol::lol:
I like the wheels. Normally not a fan of 20s, but I like those.
WOW awesome project man, keep updating
Cobra4me- thanks man, I'm a HUGE motor swap fan. That's a sick Cobra you built! Very nice!:coolman:
MucleOwnzRice- quite the opposite man, I don't have a lot of money I am just investing a lot of what I do have into this project. I'm just a 26 year old living in an apartment building a car out of my parents garage.lol
BlK_03- Thanks bro! Don't worry about the haters...I take peoples opinions VERY lightly...you kinda have to when you go against the grain. ;-)
Badass98svt- The dash needed no mods whatsoever...however the entire heater core unit including the fan box etc. had to be relocated. Yet I retain heat and A/C...the build thread will show how I managed that.
Tabres- Thanks for the props, I think the brakes will give it a totally different look and really make the wheels look more at home. And yeah this car has been ALOT of combo's...from a stock long block 302 with a PT-67 turbo, to a 331, to a 03 Cobra longblock with a T-76...and now this. Umm, the Viper guys are not all that supportive.haha...they don't like seeing their precious motors put to use elsewhere.
85sTaNG- My wheels are model "SS3P"...there is a 5 spoke version called the "SP3P" which is a really nice looking wheel!
tristateZ28Lt1- Thanks man! I honestly don't know why the idea has come to anybody sooner but I can't find where it has been done anywhere. That is also why I have waited till now to post anything...didn't want the idea getting ripped off.lol...thanks for the props
Stopsign32v- The wheels look retarded...ok. It will actually sound exactly like a 10 cylinder...just so ya know. Yeah I base my builds around how the motors sounds...:rollseyes. And by the way the car has been scaled at my buddies chassis shop and weighs in at 3,426 and has 52% of the weight up front and 48% on the rear which is pretty d@mn good. Go weigh your 95 GT 6 Speed with "bolt ons" and let me know how heavy it is...but at least you'll have the "V8 sound" and blend in with every other Mustang. Neat dude
03AZRoush-Pics will be up when it's 100% complete. I know it sounds dumb but I don't wanna give away how I did some of the very key parts of this swap. I will have a very detailed build thread up when it's done though.
VEE EIGHT- I know man, tell me about it:??:
ford_racer- I'm actually with ya. I would never dream of putting 20's on an SN-95...but with the Viper motor and otherwise over the top characteristics of the car I think they work also.
Listen guys, I greatly appreciate all the feedback both good and bad. For the guys that dig it; it's nice to see that there are still open minded Mustang guys out there. For those that hate it; to each his own. I set out to build 100% original Mustang. I knew that would probably take pissing some people off but hey...everyone that ever did anything different had to be okay with not having everyones approval! I respect your opinions and good luck with your 302's with Twisted Wedge heads and Vortech S-Trims rocking your 17" Cobra R's:thumbsup:...the reality is that there will always be haters out there. For Christ's sake my buddies Lambo Gallardo gets hated on cause it's not a Murcielago...I brush it off and keep doin' what I do

I love it, i like people who think outside the box... Can i ask why you are going with an IRS? will that support 1000 hp?
That was my instant reaction. I'm like, how can that V-10 possibily fit in the engine bay.
This could be a monster ride when the project is completed.
thats insane
