74 mustang 2... its free...

[jetboat]

So my neighbor and I were given a partially restored 74 Mustang 2... he is going tomorrow to look at it and pick it up. We just cant figure out what to do with it. My first reaction was junkyard but, then I remembered they weigh nothing so, I thought ls swap.

You could do lots with it but it will still be ugly as hell.

That's my biggest peeve with all of the "II"s.

I4 turbo? Like the SVO cars in the eighties?

Foxbody? Throw a 9" in the rear put a th400 in it and a 5.3 truck motor with heads and a cam and a 150 shot of spray and you will have a hell of a time

Mustang 2 predates the foxbody... think pinto.

Volvo head swap. "thumbsup"

 

[BJoe]

The Volvo head fits the Pinto 2.3l block?

 

[4wd4ws]

With a little kneading and massaging. It's a lowbudget approach, ofcourse.

Search for: Lima 2.3 volvo head. Plenty of info. "thumbsup"

You could seal it up really well and turn it into an actual fish bowl.

We're going to drag it home Sunday... right now we are leaning towards carbed 5.3.

With a little care and creativity, they can be made less ugly too...

The cobra 2 models looked pretty good.
Back n the day I almost bought an 83 black & gold cobra 2, T tops with a 302.
