purely benchbuilding but
>coyote IRS trackrat/toegay/autocross 1965 first gen mustang
>longitudinal MR 26b stuffed into . . . . Actually I have no idea what would be a good candidate.

>>16043301
I've always dreamed of doing that first build of yours. Something about a 60s mustang with a modern drivetrain sounds wet

>>16043301
>IRS '65 Mustang
You're about 50 years late.
http://www.drivingline.com/articles/the-65-mustang-gt350r-finally-gets-irs-it-only-took-50-years/

I'd build it like that Shelby, using an all-aluminium 289. Maybe add the '66 optional Paxton, but it'd be amazing to keep it a ''what if''.

>>16043334
I guess for me a build doesn't really have to be 100% original, but just the concept of taking a ratted out rolling shell of a 60's Mustang and stuffing the best suspension, chassis, and drivetrain you can buy today in it.

>tl;dr daydreaming about something that you will neither finish in time nor afford nor have an actual use for because you're only making up those "surprise offroading" scenarios in your mind and nothing alike will ever happen for real

Already rebuilt the th350c and swapped in a 350 crate motor, next things to be done

>2.5 inch drop spindles up front
>2 inch drop springs up front
>replace every single bushing everywhere
>tie rods/etc etc
>drop shocks front/rear and shock relocators
>flip kit in rear
>bolt in mild c-notch
>new leafs in ass end
>tubular upper/lower control arms
>new front sway bar
>add sway bar to rear
>repair floor pans, kick panels, rockers, cab corners, window pinch welds and misc other rust spots

Going to drive so much nicer once it's all done, still saving up for everything. Eventually would love to

>rebuild rear end, go to something like a 3.73
>change the th350c out for 700r4 or get a gear vendors
>redo interior entirely, keeping factory look just new door panels, dash pad etc
>finally replace the craptacular stereo


There's a long list of shit I want done to this thing.

'89 stock car inspired Caprice as a moonshine runner special has always been a thought in the back of my mind.

>correct some of the B-body front suspension geometry, go with a manual rack and pinion steering up to a cleaner tilt column
>convert the janky 4 link to a truck trailing setup and adjustable panhard bar
>short stroke, long rod big bore iron block LS engine set back a few inches with a turbo breathing on it
>Tex/Gforce or Jerico 4 speed
>narrow and box the frame in a few places or remake those out of box steel
>drop pretty much all the interior and see the feasibility of employing a few old tricks to shed some weight
>cast the bumpers in fiberglass, shoot 'em gray
>replace all the old glass with lexan and kill the window regulators, rig a pull strap setup of some description for the front windows to go up and down
>kill any of the AC components and simplify the heater box so it only defrosts
>aluminum seats like I had in my sprint car, 5 point harness, full cage, still debating whether I want it to still seat 4 or only 2
>15x10 unpolished slot mags at all 4 corners wrapped in Avon CR6ZZ rubber

Still working out some of the logistics, but the Caprice from Furious 7 came surprisingly close to my vision.

I'm thinking about either getting a 1984 Ford F-150 (Flareside) or 1987 Chevy K-10 Silverado (Stepside) and convert either into a muscle truck. Kinda got the inspiration form that Roadkill episode. Still planning this thing out, so it'll be a while.
