Old Fox Body Gets a New 5.0

According to The Detroit Free Press, manufacturers are looking forward to ditching CD players since they are heavy and take up so much valuable real estate. I still have tape decks in two cars of my three cars. My 2007 Mustang GT has a CD changer, but I prefer to just plug my phone into the aux and stream Pandora or Spotify. How about you?

As pointless compilations go, this is right up there with my other favorite: every weird sound Krang ever made in the original TMNT series. This one might be a little more relevant to car enthusiasts, though. Hit the jump for the video! [more]

You just knew someone was gonna do this, didn't you? Well, Kurgan Motorsports brought this old Fox into the 21st century with a new Coyote 5.0 out of a wrecked 2011 GT. The engine dropped right in, but according to Bob Kurgan, “We had to custom make the motor mounts, air conditioning brackets, power steering brackets ourselves. But it’s a friggin’ animal on the streets.” More pics after the jump! Via MustangEvolution.com

	By: 2digits 3/16/2011 3:52 PM I'd love to see the final product, in hopes it's not this rough around the edges. Awesome build

	By: 5henaniganz 3/16/2011 4:04 PM the only way it could get any better, is if it was put into an even LIGHTER car...wait til the next gen of monster miatas start getting into the mix...

	By: subcero 3/16/2011 5:17 PM well cot dam

	By: SuzyBruisy 3/16/2011 5:24 PM Very nice clean swap. And damn I love those notchbacks!

	By: ___nes___ 3/16/2011 6:06 PM It looks right at home, doesn't look like most swaps.

	By: WallyStang 3/16/2011 6:58 PM Amazing car and amazing motor!

	By: retroman 3/16/2011 9:13 PM I've been calling this one since rumors of the new 5-oh! started circulating last year... How much do you want to bet that well be seeing '64-'73 models with new 5.0s too??

	By: ajzhotrodz 3/17/2011 9:46 AM nice i hope they took some of those stupid computer sensors out i dont know about u guys but i dont need a light to know when to change my oil or check my tire pressure

	By: RXSLEVIN 3/17/2011 12:29 PM NICE JOB GUYS...LETS GET A VIDEO OF THIS BEAST IN ACTION

	By: 1987LX 4/6/2011 3:50 PM I love it but I know how they got it in. It is in the latest issue of MMFF or 5.0&SF. I think I might just go ahead and do that swap to my hatch.
