    A guy stuffed it in a '66 Ranchero. Looks dangerous...

    Interesting...but why spend SO much time/money on such a swap??? Windsor SB are so much easier and less expensive, but I guess it gives a sense of accomplishment....?

    Buy a wrecked car for $200, has engine, trans, and wiring harness. Fab some new mounts/brackets, wire it up (that part needs work :oops:) and you have a WHOLE lot less money than building a fresh Windsor.
    There's a 63 Falcon not far from me with 5.0 Coyote engine in it - gotta say, it's pretty cool.

    Tarus SHO nice. Would have liked to do one long ago when I had a 85 T bird.
    Yamaha designed, top end electronics limited by Ford, Yamaha said redline of like 14000 RPM. Lets change the electronics and put a trans brake behind it !!!
