Mark's MKIV 8666 Build Thread - Now for sale!

[6t8dart]

I got my donor, it was a 95 GT with an AOD-E, and I think a 3.27:1 rear, I towed to the house it because it had a bad coolant leak. The owner just replaced the water pump, but the leak seems to be coming closer to the block, probably a cracked timing cover. (Edit: I later found it was a bad gasket) And before anyone states the obvious, yes, I wanted an AOD. I had back and leg issues, so I don't like shifting a manual anymore.

My victim...I didn't have the heart to tell this guy I was going to chop up his baby.

I ripped all the recommended donor parts out of the Mustang except for the wiring, which is brand new from FFR. I probably got way more than I needed to pull, but its nice to have extras. I later decided not to use this engine and trans, I found a good deal on a rebuilt 302 with a beefed up AOD.

I ended up selling the Mustang body and recouping $400 of the $1700 purchase price, when I sell some of the other parts from it, it I hope to get most of it back.
