Re: Cobra engined AMX?

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all, I am contemplating a swap:
2001 SVT Cobra drivetrain, including 8.8 IRS into a 1970 AMX. The AMX is less engne and trans, and is originally a 360 go pack 4spd, w/ unknown rear gear. I was wondering if anyone had input on the rear end swap. The engine will fit, but mounts will have to be fabbed as well as a new cross member. Looking for input here, not criticism about putting a Ford in an AMC, I have a car, with no drive train, and a complete wrecked 320hp Cobra with a good one. Thanks in advance and all suggestions(and opinions) are welcome. Steve Avery, are you still here?? Happy new year all!


Why tho?whats the point?all that work and what do you have a AMC AMX that not many know about with a Ford motor Purists will frown and Ford guys will go WTF??yeah yeah its your car you can do what you want but i see alot of work for nothing espcially if you want to sell it afterwards.IMHO i'd rebuild the 360/T10 and save the cobra motor for a Stang or some other Ford product.but thats my opinion and you know what they say about those.
