ok, before i get into this i know the money factor of this whole thing and all the work that will have to go into it.. i have a 1990 base tbird, but im compltely redoing it.. starting on the outside then the interior, then wheels. i have an aftermarket exhaust that will accomdate this sort of thing as well... putting a 99+ gt motor, a t45, 93 mark8 driveshaft, and 3.27 traklok or maybe 3.55s...
this is a little down the road (like almost a year), but i just want to clear up a few things before i try to do any of it...
1. will the 99+ gt motor clear the stock hood? (if not then ill get a mach 1 hood)
2. will a manual trans from a gt fit?
i know i need the computer, wiring harnesses, accesories, a sc manual center console to accomdate the manual, the clutch pedal assembly from a sc and the slave cylinder, a new pumpkin, and a lot of time and patience..
reason for wanting to do this is, i havent heard of many people doing it, and its a lot of power to start with. and i know i can get the motor for about a grand around here, ive looked before when i was about to buy a '96 that needed a motor (otherwise great condition for $1100) but someone beat me to it... -greg
