Crazy Swaps...
Hello. In Mexico there are a few parts for american old cars(79-86) and yes, Ford solds many Fox cars here but very few aftermarket parts. And the mechanics have to do some crazy swaps that i seen on cougars and T-birds and a very few stangs(i seen for other cars, but this is the most important). Here is a little list for that swaps...
1.- A 83 cougar originally V8 car converted to 2.4....normally aspirated. (In mexico there wasnt cougar 83, all were llegally from Us)
2.- A 86 T-bird with a manual 3 speed.......no comments
3.- a Mustang came with the 2.8 Cologne engine....now imagine in a 84 T-bird.
4.- An 84 Cougar with a 300 engine straight six. Was a 3.8. Yes that "indestructible engine" was put in the car (ill sure that was a hard swap, but finished i think that is very nice) the radiator was strangely mounted....
5.- A 1984 mustang with a 4.2 engine.....i was sure that it was a 3.8 but the owner says that a older car has it and blew the mustang engine and put the old car engine in the stang...
6.- and last, but not least, and 85 cougar with a 400+CID...i tough that it was a race car, but the owner says "i want the car for towing" . That car was in the car shop for at least 3 months.....great engine, but i dont know the really proposit for "towing" with a 400+ engine...maybe he gonna tow houses or buildings....
When i was needing a new engine, was a incredible show of engines from the sellers....they offered me a SHO engine ! a 460 , a 351, a 2.3 NA, and finally the 302 and the 232. , i should take the 302. I Have the 3.8 .
Well thats all. If here in your country are rare or crazy swaps, please post here. Thank for your attention and sorry my english...
