Diesel Mustang

[KR350]

Well, I hope I don't get ranked on here. I go over to the mustang forums and discuss my dream of putting in one of the Lion motors in a 'stang,like the 4.4 twin turbo and it seems all they can think of is the old smelly Mercedes D's. They can't relate to the true power of the D Anyway, I wish there was someone in here rich enough to build one. They all think them gas motors are the way to go Me? I wouldn't mind stuffing in the 2.7 twin turbo in my 'stang and get 49mpg and still smoke(or not visual smoke with Gale Banks stuff) alot of GTs! I just wish the Lions would get here

You know I have been talking about fitting a Pstroke in a 69 mach1 for months now but really havnt to to much further than that. I mean I have been building mustangs most of my life and this project really excites me! somthing that hasnt been done with alot of fabrication! of course some of the tips I have recieved are not to reasuring! "but steel while its cheap"! oh well I about ready to gut the car and start but I need to find a few more specs out and go from there to see how much masaging it will take!

That's why I would like to go with the Lions, because they're lightweight and small. Engine weight should be about 500lb with the 3.6 and 4.4 D's. 3.6 is 272hp,472lbs, 4.4 is 350hp,500lbs

In a mustang it sounds like a great idea. I would not do it in any mustang from 64-70 though specially not a 69 Mach , I know that it will be awesome when you do it and i cant wait to see you do it, but I couldnt bring myself to truely hack one

I would love to have a 6.0 in an 05 stang that would be killer...

well you saw that camaro SS a couple months back that they stuffed a dmax in and then Pimp My Ride took it out and dragged with a lambo and it destroyed. Then in this months Diesel Power it shows the twin turbo Peugeot 700 hp with 885 lb-ft stuffed in a 2000 lb car. I say let the stang people think what they want, the fact of the matter is diesel has come a LONG way since the old ones and if nobody has been around them they have no idea untill they line up

Who knows whats gonna be under my '05 'stang hood in a couple of years. I'll wait for someone to wreck a '10 and get the 4.4 out of it. Zoom Zoom!
