If a man wanted to build===========

[REAL BOB JOHNSON]

a all wheel drive 65 mustang with a boosted v-6 or v-8 that can fabricate about anything what would you use?

[65_LS1_T56]

Subaru WRX STI chassis :D

Won't be able to run it in GoodGuys Autocross though.

[raustinss]

67-72 chevy blazer, all wheel drive, short wheel base, plenty of parts... But here's the kicker....duramax diesel

:y0!: :y0!: :y0!:

Now that would be freakin awesome!!! :thumbsup:

[INTMD8]

What's the intended purpose of the vehicle? Auto or manual trans?

As for the engine I would do a twin turbo Coyote

Aaron how come? Because of the AWD or because it's part Subaru??

[Vince@Meanstreets]

Trailblazer SS since your gonna put an LS in it anyways.

If it's title as a '65 Mustang it would be allowed.

Rick, per the rules for 2014, no ABS, AWD or traction control unless in Late model class. Rule #13 on second page of rules (post#3) of Jody's post: http://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=44759

[Ron in SoCal]

Bob take a late model Porshe C4S AWD chassis and put either a twin turbo Porsche or LS engine in it. That platform has been called the 'ultimate sticky device.'

Do it. You know you want to.. :D :thumbsup:

[ArisESQ]

Trailblazer SS since your gonna put an LS in it anyways.

Yes.

[Deeznuts]

Now Bob, you know that aint gonna work! How is your son over there at Mo's gonna dyno an all wheel drive?

[Shmoov69]

Porsche drivetrain with an ecoboost cranked up, to keep it Ford-ish that is. :popcorn2:

[craig510]

Late model Taurus SHO or Cop car. Turbo V6 all wheel drive. Good parts availability. Ford in a Ford.

I was thinking this would be the drive train for my next project, but I am glad that GoodGuys pulled the plug on AWD. No way can a rear drive full bodied car keep up with a short wheelbase AWD T-bucket. Now I can focus on the car I have and my driving for next season.

No matter what, you've got a long road ahead of you, but if you're set awd, find an old Syclone or Typhoon and do what you gotta do to make it fit that '65 chassis.

Good luck. You are a braver man than I. :waveflag:

[Memph]

The drivetrain out of a Porsche Panamera Turbo would be pretty cool if you could get it to fit.

This doesn't look very pro-touring.

No it doesn't but it fits in very well in Paulding county!

[bret]

Nissan GTR. Been beat by quite a few. That cars only sin is it is ugly...but you seem willing and able to fix that :)

[BMR Sales]

I would say the Running Gear out of a RS6 Audi Quartro, mate it to a Coyote Turbo

They are Ugly & Big - Amazing how fast & agile they are!

You could rock that in Dawsonville also! :gitrdun:

[elitecustombody]

Porsche GT3 ,GTR,Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, TBSS, EVO. All well proven platforms,

[Solid LT1]

Someone suggested using GMC Typhoon/Syclone chassis. The same type of running gear can be found cheap at the wrecking yard under Astro and GMC AWD mini vans. Maybe a ford explorer or London navigator chassis parts running gear. The navigator has the 24V motor......

Someone Audi RS6? That is a POS under steering pig of a car worse than my B7 RS4 another highly overrated. Car. The motor on an Audi RS hangs 2/3rds past the front wheel centerline...how are you going to make something like that work?

You could have bought my Audi R8 Spyder for half the price of this build and been done.



LOL

I agree.

In OLOA circles there has been a rumour about a tube chassis '55 Chevy coming with an LS9 backed by the GTR running gear. Don't know if it's going to be a reality but if they can make it work it could be awesome. I would think your guys would be able to out come thing like that together for the mustang.
