I have seen quite a few post here with people asking questions! I take alot of inspiration from both civette and cibaru! SOOO i thought to myself why not use a car of similar size? Like a mustang?

So here it is, 97 mustang cobra is the donor car-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



So- It begins! Today marks the first day moving forward. This project started a month or so ago when i purchased the Mustang for the swap, but no work had been done.

last week i DROVE my integra WITH AC BLOWING COLD, around my block hit vtec, and pulled it into the garage for the last time... The tear down began.

I took a perfectly running (recently featured in a magazine) car and TORE IT DOWN!

Today was the day i REALLY tore into it. The motor is SOLD, along with the 5 lug conversion. This project BEGINS-
Here is the Feature from April 2010


The car as it sat last week- (with the mustang wheels because i sold mine)

the day i got the donor (cobra)

the MOTOR


So the first thing i did, was tearrrrrrr down the mustang, and part out as much as i could to regain some cash!






Well then i had to sell my motor, once i found a buyer for my 5 lug conversion and my gsr swap, i got to work!

MOTOR OUT

Motor delivered to buyer!


suspension and 5 lug out!

Stay tunedddddd for progress!

Good luck! Insane project.

 

good luck

 

A Musteg?

I think it would be cooler to keep it FWD with the Stang's engine. Mainly because you could keep the regular interior of the car. Unless interior placement is better for your setup than the Civette. I would not like to be that far back in comparison to the normal driving position.

 

Poor Teg

 

i will have full integra interior, with the Bride seats- And AC

 

i dunno if you said this already but why did you tear apart the cobra? was something wrong with it?

 

I bought the cobra with a blown engine (cheap) for the purpose of doing this build-

I DID however consider just fixing the cobra, but i really wanted to do the project

 

Pure genius, In for this no matter what the outcome. I'm a purist but I love imagining the impossible and making it possible just for the sake of human ingenuity! Rock on brotha

 

this will be a good one. good luck with this build!!

 

gotcha, well good luck, those motors respond great to forced induction
