engine swap
 

OK so its not about a windsor engine but the small ponnies board is sorta dead. I want to put a 3.2 SHO engine in an early 90's mustang convertable. Yall are probably gonna say jsut put a 5.0 or 351 or 347 in but I like bein origional. That and I really like these engines, I have dusted many a 5.0 from a roll to say 140 or 120 in my taurus. I figured out how to mate the tranny to the engine, all the wiring/electronics, and some of the accessories. The exhaust is gonna be a pain but i think i got it fingered out.
I need help on how to actually mount the engine though. Should i just make my own mounts? Would it be possible to make any factory mounts work? What about plate mounts? Thanx

You must be racing some slooooooow mustangs:D

But I don't think you want to go to a motor plate, harsh ride and not really intended for a street car. The best way would be to fab the mounts, you are going to need to come up with some kinda of supports for the motor since it is so much narrower, make sure the drive line is on the properangle like a stock car would be.

I think some of the 80-86's came with a v6 not sure what years or what displacement but you may want to look into getting one of those and maybe the K-Member and mounts if it will work.

I think it would be much easier to drop a 5.0L in it and make a lot more power, I know you want to be different but it will be a lot cheaper as well.

Well I'm not going to discourage you from trying that swap because I think it would be kinda cool!:cool: I'm not sure if the earlier v-6 mustang mounts would work because I doubt that they were the same block. You may have to fabricate some. Also make sure the oil pan will fit with whatever K-member you use.
