4G63 + TH-350 + Mustang - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

After I dynoed my Talon @ 440whp I thought I hurt the engine so decided to pulled it out and get it checked. Turned out to only be carbon build up on the valve. Instead of returning it to the Talon chassis I decided to go a different route by putting the engine in a fox body. Excellent drag race platform, easy to find parts for, and CHEAP. No one likes to constantly replace drive line parts in a DSM or go buy way expensive trannys and axles so I found a guy in Ohio who makes adapter plates from Mitsu to Chevy which was perfect for what I wanted to do. I talked a local guy down to $700 for a caged Mustang shell with no engine, no trans. Again, perfect. After I sandwiched the engine to the Turbo 350 trans, and put the power house in the car, I took it to World Motorsports to do all the fabrication work. As of now, it is at the shop getting the wiring harness put in and then re-tuned.

Here are some pictures to date.

Very different. 4G swapped into anything is great.

lownslow95 · 02-26-2012, 01:46 PM

This is awesome on so many levels. In for this on for sure.

Teku18 · 02-26-2012, 02:23 PM

You sir are ****ing awesome!

OutToWinPAHC · 02-26-2012, 02:32 PM

I just have to ask.... because I have destroyed a few well built TH350's, why not a TH400?

OMGz Turbo · 02-26-2012, 02:32 PM

LOL i spent so much time on youtube watching these type of vids

nemesis4423 · 02-26-2012, 09:47 PM

That's crazy something completely different

xarchiex · 02-26-2012, 09:52 PM

So awesome. Will turn lots of heads hearing the 4g reving, people will be like is that the mustang?

**Got Insulin?** · 02-26-2012, 09:53 PM

Why, hello.

enigma · 02-27-2012, 12:39 AM

O wow, this looks pretty cool.
Whats even more interesting is that that shell looks like one of my neighbors old cars. I know he sold it a while back....Is there mounting points for nitrous where the passanger seat should be?

SHOdude · 02-27-2012, 12:42 AM

What are ya gonna be doing about the drive shaft, custom or is there one that fits?

Chevy into a Ford is common enough that there are off-the-shelf parts for that.

All you need to know is point a to b length and a driveshaft shop can make it.

assault187 · 02-27-2012, 09:53 AM

That should be alot of fun! Can't wait to see more updates as the car progresses.

Chris B. · 02-27-2012, 11:23 AM

This isn't the first 4G63 swapped fox body I've seen. However its a lot nicer looking than the other one I saw.

OutToWinPAHC · 02-27-2012, 11:26 AM

It's funny how the other guy who did this also called it Frankenstang

AllMotor · 02-27-2012, 11:48 AM

This should prove to be a very interesting creamsicle going down the track. What all has been done to the shell?

FrankenStang · 02-27-2012, 02:08 PM

Thanks for the kind words guys. The TH350 is a little lighter cause of the case being thinner and we all know power to weight is vital in drag racing. Drive shaft will be custom made, its pretty simple actually since both u joints are common. The shell has an 8 point cage, coil overs front and air bags rear, sub frame connectors, the whole shibang for a "street" car

AllMotor · 02-27-2012, 02:20 PM

sounds like a good start on the shell, how do the battle boxes look?

BlkWhtTSI · 02-27-2012, 02:28 PM

Awesomness!! looks very clean
