My soon-to-be father in law did it. He used a GTO kit. I'm removing everything and plan on making some improvements. He did a great job, but I've seen some things that can be improved. I'm documenting everything and I'll be happy to lend advice to anyone attempting this mod. It's definitely not something just anyone should try, that's for sure.

I'm replacing all 6 bearings and both seals. I lost a seal driving it home from Cali and it ran low on oil, now the bearings are groaning. Plus it had 50xxx miles on it, so it's due for a freshening..

Haha! I don't own a mustang of any kind. I was referring to possibly selling the V. I probably won't, because it's a hell of a car and I haven't really had any fun with it yet.
Motorcycle racing is expensive enough, and the last thing I need is another spending addiction! But I see myself just driving the car on occasion and not building a hot rod. Hopefully.

It may get exhaust and a cam, at most. But if and when something breaks, it'll be replaced with something better for sure. I've had numerous drag cars over the years, and that time is gone. She will be a non-race weekend tollway fun car haha!!
