Specs/History:
Originally the car was a 242DL MPG model with a 2.1 K-Jet/M46. It boasted a whole 99 HP when new. The Ford V8 was chosen for this transplant due to it’s compact size which allowed installation in a way that could almost be mistaken for factory. Motor mounts were fabricated from polyurethane bushings. The transmission crossmember is a modified OEM piece that has a polyurethane mount on it. The swap utilizes a Volvo 940 radiator and electric fan that is wired to run with the ignition switch on. The fuel system uses a mechanical pump and diesel in-tank pickup. All Ford serpentine belt accessories were used including the Ford A/C compressor. The engine is a 1980 iron casting that was pulled from a 1982 Mustang. The engine was completely stripped down and machine work completed by City Motor Supply in Dallas. The engine was then assembled using all new cast pistons, new bearings, high volume oil pump, Summit Performance camshaft and stock 1:5 stamped rocker arms. The transmission was left alone other than a fluid change, new clutch plate, pressure plate, throwout bearing and pilot bearing. The stock Mustang driveshaft bolted in after changing the pinion yoke on the differential. The engine swap was done In the first part of 2013. The entire engine bay was stripped, cleaned and repainted at this time.
Later the same year, the car was painted with a single stage paint. It has held up extremely well, and I feel it gives the car a "period-correct" look.
The interior has been updated with the exception of the door panels. The factory headliner board was recovered with foam-backed black suede while the entire interior was swapped over to black from the original blue. The Mustang GT seats are bolted to factory Volvo tracks and function well. The factory gauges were customized with matching custom white overlays. The speedometer is not functional due to never ordering a custom cable for it, but will read in Kph only which was chosen for for Euro styling.
The car runs and drives very well, and is quite fast.
