Hello everyone.
I am planning a Navigator motor swap (with a 4r70w) into a 79 coupe. The mustang has sat in my yard for 20 yrs. A friend got it from a friend who was building it for road racing. It has a full cage installed and not much else. It's literally a rolling chassis. The plan is for a comfortable yet very bare bones street/strip car. I have swapped sn95 spindles, brakes, and a 3.27 lsd rear into it. I've stock piled some JY parts over the years and its about time to use them or get rid of them. I found a flaming river manual rack and steering shaft, eibach springs, a manual brake pedal that i will combine with a ranger master cylinder. I got lucky recently at the Jy and found a complete 98 Gt. I bought the k member, wiring harness, computer, and oil pan. I have some old 2.5 turn down tail pipes I will probably use.
The car is missing everything inside and out. All body panels/parts that could be removed. No wiring or interior. I am considering taking everything I need from a complete 84 Gt that I've recently re-purchased. It will make this swap a whole lot easier, even though I will feel bad tearing apart a car that only needs a drivetrain.
The motor does need chain guides. Otherwise I'm hoping its in good shape. I already have purchased a coyote manifold off ebay for a good deal and the MMR adapter plates. I plan to swap the oil pump out, so I'm upgrading to the cobra pump and pickup.
thanks for reading this.
More to come!
