Carb modular motor?

[65fastback2+2]

Im kinda wanting to carb a mod motor and put it in the 67 coupe...what does it take to convert one?

Kar Kraft was making that intake for mod motors, but I read somewhere that they're going to stop. All you need is that intake, a carb, and an ECU to fired the COPs I believe

Motor mounts can be fabbed easy.
4150 style of carb
Sullivan intake manifold
Stand alone ignition with the crank sensor being the trigger.

well, it'll fit a 460, so a mod motor should fit

however, i plan on cutting the shock towers and going with a front IFS or double a-arm coilover setup or something along those lines....so that'll give me more room

i'll see if i can find it

im REALLY wanting to do a 5.8L Big Bore with 11:1 compression on some ported heads with a HUGE cam, and run a carb then throw a T-56 behind it with 4.10's on a 9" rear

Didn't I also see an adapter somewhere that allowed you to use some sort of distributor? It seems like it was inserted horizontally into the driver's side head.

MMR copied it from a guy. Mark Lutton will tell ya they come up with it.

wish it would work on the street...id love to run a dizzy! im wanting it to look like a stock-ish bigblock...i guess i can hide the coils somewhere

when i get to that part, i'll hit u up

any ideas for atleast mounting a fake dizzy...it would look odd to have nothing at all...that would give it away

What I thought to. Mods are wide.

im grabbing that issue...hopefully barnes and noble or some book store will have it

i was already planning on having to cut the shock towers out

There is a FFR 33 hot rod that's getting a lincoln 32V topped with a 2x4 tunnel ram. The carbs are not carbs, they're going to be ...................

I like the mod motor but there is no way I would put one in an older mustang, actually I'm looking to go the other way with my GT and put either a carbed 460 or a bored and stroked 351 in it to give me a 427.

You did see the pair of { } in my post. I won't comment on the Swiss thing, it might be political and then I would be gone.
