what to do

just aquired a complete motor/harness/trans from a 90 GT mustang thanking about potential projects I'm interested in the new 2010 ford fiesta, so maybe i should make an old version of a ford fiesta with a 5.0 ??? i've seen some 5.0 conversions with focus but only the shogun version of the fiesta, anyone else every seen a fiesta with a 5.0? what do you think? also a neighbor has a sunbeam tucked in his garage maybe i could twist his arm?

Definately do the ersatz Tiger. Way cool cars.

Good luck finding an old Fiesta. They were great, dependable little cars that have all but rusted into oblivion.

The 2011 Fiesta looks promising. It may even be the first brand new car I buy.

Is the 90 motor a 4.6? If so it won't fit in the Tiger.

I got a chance to see a preproduction Fiesta @ LSPR... found it parked at my hotel. Was a rad little wagon.

Nope, it's a 5.0. Mustangs got the 4.6 in '96.

Sunbeam FTW!

Volvo wagon.

Fairmont (good luck finding one).

Falcon.

Those are the things that come to my mind (I'd LOVE to come up with that drivetrain combination you have...).

Thinking Sunbeam
I think the answer is obvious, MIATA.

First gen RX-7. Grannys makes the kit apparently the swap is pretty easy.

Fortuitously I happen to have access to a first gen RX7 and 2 2nd gens that can be had for a song.

Volvo Wagon.

Am I really going to be the first one to suggest putting it in a miata?

Nope.

Looking at their site makes me want to pick up one of the FCs I see periodically on CL for supercheap (due to can't smog reasons), and swap my extra 5.0 in.

I saw a 2-door '81 Grand Marquis for sale in the parking lot of the local Lowe's yesterday. That made some gears turn in my head.

However, I really think a fuel injected 460 would make the best sleeper out of one.

I would put it in an e36! :)
