Engine+Drivetrain swap: Help!
Hi,
Ok, well my stang's body is in bad/rough shape and is in no shape for more power (the rear chasis is really screwed). Last year my rear-upper torque box broke and I got it re-welded however, I was warned by the mechanic (who's a respected Mustang mechanic here) that this stang is no shape for more power (i.e. turbo which is what I wanna do). While getting the rear torque box fixed, I got a chance to look at the under-body especially the rear-end and man did it look bad. Well, I am now trying to sell the stang and am asking $6500CDN ($4000US). I know it's a high price and its gonna be hard to sell it for even $4000CDN ($2500US). So, the mechanic suggested that for $2500CDN ($1600US) he can put my engine and drivetrain (adn any other electricals and anything else if need be) in another stang with a stronger body that is in better shape. I don't have the resource or knowledge to do the swap my self and $2500 (although a bit high) is better then selling the stang for lower then what I would like... What should I do? I am gonna wait tilll winter to see what happens and if the stang isn't sold by then, then I am seriously gonna consider the swap. Bye! |

That's an excellent deal. I won't even discuss installing an engine for less than $1000, let alone the entire driveline and electrical. If yours is worth transfering, do it.
Take care, -Chris
