Mopar in a Mustang ...

I have a good friend that owns a Mercury Meteor. It was a 6 clyinder car that came from an old lady (seriously). They cut the motor mounts and hacked in a Stroked (383) Small block Chevy and trans. The headers and exhaust are terrible and they hacked the oil pan to clear... the oil pan is just WRONG. It would be a REALLY nice car if they would have gone with a 302 or other Small block Ford. He would have been able to use conversion headers and oil pan and built a really nice car.

Now he is stuck with a car that he CAN NOT sell. He has been trying for the last two years. Everyone that is interested in the car RUNS when they open the hood and see the SBC.

He is the same one that pulled the 5 liter out of his '89 Fox Body. Paid someone to build a stroker for it and ditched the fuel injection for a used Holley Carb. They butchered the wiring harness so going back to fuel injection... is much harder if not impossible with out a donor car.

Give the Mustang to someone that will rebuild it with the intention of doing it right keeping it out of the junkyard.
