Modular Engine Swap
The shroud has long been lifted when it comes to the stigma of modifying a classic Mustang beyond the point of reversing it back to stock. Now don't get us wrong, we love the fact that there are so many bolt-in and bolt-on options for improving the performance of a classic Mustang, or any other '60s era machine, and the car be easily returned to its original state if ever so desired. A small-block upgrade of a tired inline-six car ups the fun factor of an otherwise basic "secretary's" vehicle, giving it a second chance at becoming what is inherent in its DNA. The same goes for brake upgrades, wheels and tires, suspension, and more.inline_mediumwraptextright00The number one concern and deterrent for a Four-Valve modular swap is the physical size of the engine itself. This photo shows a very clean installation of an early Four-Valve Cobra 4.6L in a '65 convertible, which actually fits under the stock hood naturally aspirated.28688458/techarticles/engine/mdmp_1005_1965_ford_mustang_fastback_modular_termi nator_cobra_engine_swapmdmp_1005_01_o+modular_engi ne_swap+engine.jpgtrue
