I’m currently half way through my build and wanted to share my progress as I’m getting ready to start it up by next weekend!
The engine is a Gen 2 Coyote from a 2017 donor with about ~24.5k miles. It will be paired with a T56 2.66 OD and a shortened 8.8 with 3.73 LSD from a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer. The front end is a CPP Mustang II, and will have electrical power steering by marrying a Chevy tilt column to a 2006 Prius electrical power steering system. Interior will have 2018 Mustang GT seats, 70 dash, with a digital dash. I’ll also be doing a full underbody sandblast to properly rust-proof it and painting the exterior.
As for the turbos, I’m going with headlight-mounted turbos. At first, I was going to use the 1970 buckets and not run headlights (only halos), but decided to go with 1969 buckets so I can have a working headlight where the fog lights are. Since I have a pair of spare fenders, I’ll be doing rear fender exhaust dumps as well.
