Muspra project

[boostinprine]

Here is what ive been working on latly, its an 84' Mustang that i got from a friend that crashed it. It was totaled and headed to the scrap yard so he gave it to me. It had 34K miles on it and was in great shape before tha accadent. Had a semi built 7m and drivetrain from past project that never went through so i decided it needed a home in the mustang. I wanted to see the true potential of these motors in a lighter more drag race suited chassis. (supras are great cars dont get me wrong but heavy and IRS as everyone knows not best scenario) I am a full time college student so this project is extremely budgeted. so far i have around 3K total for everything.

This is what she looked like when i got her.

This is after removing all the damaged metal

I had a shortblock from a car i parted out so i used that for fabrication

i made some solid mounts

The trans shifter was right about where it should be

Engine test fit

Cleaned floors and firewall and painted with rusty metal primer

Fit the body panels on to make inner frame

This is the front support to hold the body panels and radiator and intercooler

trans crossmember finished

Manual brakes( booster wouldnt clear intake manifold)

I request walk around car video. Don't like that gen mustang but still

this is completed with the nose off for mounting the heat exchangers

This is right after i got it together

This is after i did 5 lug conversion with 02gt brakes, 8.8" rear end 3.73's with ranger axles

I had a few gigs of pictures that got stolen with my camera during the build so i lost allot of detailed shots. The motor has JE pistons, ARP hardware, and metal head gasket.

Hooray! It's true! A guy in my manual trans class at school was like "Hey Chris, you've gotten your wish... some guy put a 7M in a Mustang... that's fucked up". Haha

You rule dude! :biglaugh:

 

[boostinprine]

thanks eveyone, I made a logo for where the front ford emblem on the grill eventually will be goin on there

so far the best time i had was a 8.4 at 91mph in the 1/8th. which the clutch was slipping hard out of the hole and little between 1-2 shift. hopefully in the next couple of weeks ill be getting a clutch.

trying to sell the 2JZGE that i was going to put in the mustang, if anyone would like to help fund the clutch!

yea that camaro was in last months issue of Hot Rod magazine. I only wish i had 1/3 the money he put into that car. I just sold my dirtbike so hopefully i can get my car painted soon.

Thats a really neat build! How much does your muspra weigh after dropping in the 7m?
I imagine its alot lighter then the MK3 chassi. Your time on the eigth with pooched clutch is decent too.

 

[boostinprine]

its around 3100lbs with me in it, I turned the spare tire well into the intercooler tank so its got 13 gallons of water over 100 lbs i can loose with a smaller tank. but it helps with traction for now untill i can afford a tank or a nice welder to make a tank. When i get the cage im going to strip the sound deadening and get some kirkey seats. should loose some even with the addition of cage.
