Hi Guys and Girls, A few people have been asking whats happening with my coupe. Well i thought its time you all saw it. You all know i like to be different, so here i am being me! There will be more done to it, supercharger and stuff but this it it so far. The car {} The Engine destined to go in {} What counts {} This is the engine's trail fitting {} Now the engine is mounted using some custom brackets to use the mustang engine mounts on the BMW subframe {} Another view of above {} Custom gearbox cross member with one piece prop {} Custom made slave cylinder and bracket on the bell housing to make the clutch a hydralic, not cable {} Exhaust final fitting {} The view of the final engine bay {} All thats left is to map my DTA to run the engine which Weston performance will be doing for me and i'll be rolling! There you have it!! Moffatt
aha, the big unveiling, cant wait to hear that v8 soundtrack...gonna let me have a go again, promise i wont kill it. actually. no promises.
Holy fuck, talk about a TIGHT FIT! How the hell did the exhaust manifolds miss the inner arches? So is that a mustang engine then? It doesn't say anything on it that I can see, so my expertise is gone lol. Should be insane!
One off exhaust manifolds to clear steering etc. The engine is from a 99 Mustang SVT with a tremec 5spd gearbox Bulliet proof!
Late Mustand V8, nice work! Wondered what haappened to this car! T56 box yeah? EDIT! Its not, its a 5speeder, you just said. Tremec TKO300 or summat?
Cossie box pretty much the same as in my 3 Door. Gotta let us have a little blast in it chap. When's Greg having it on the rollers then?
Yeah same box I'm going to book it after the 13th, got loads of work on, nd i want to be there hearing it!
Cool just let us know when and i'll pop round, don't surpose you've found anyone with a diff for my 528i ?
That's ace Any reason you chose the Ford V8 instead of a BM one?? Or is it because, like you said, you like to be different?? Top work either way {} That is
Because the Ford V8 is cheaper easier to tune, and you can't buy a supercharger for £3000 for a BMW V8 and even when you do supercharge it it only gives you 400 bhp not 600 like with the ford V8. And the ford has loads more torque.
Thats a good answer I was only wondering I'll be keeping my eyes and ears peeled fr this around warwick thats for sure
