Hello from NC. 1965 Mustang SVO

[1965svo]

Hi all, I just recently found this forum and it has definitely caught my attention. I am currently working on my 65 Mustang that is far from stock because who likes stock?

Its not your average looking Mustang, its just in the project stage so ill post a thread on my build when i have time but just to stir the pot it doesn't have your average motor that you would find in this style car.

This is almost exactly one of the visions I had for my girlfriend's '65, the only difference in my vision was a Volvo head on that 2.3 block. ;)

[I_make_oil]

Neat car. I'm looking forward to see how it turns out.

Hi Jeff,
I really like your project! I think we have something in common. The 2.3 turbo engine. I am building a 1973 Volvo 1800ES and I am looking at doing either the Ford 2.3 or a Volvo B230 turbo. I am leaning towards the Ford matched up with a 5speed out of a Thunderbird Turbo coupe. Are you using a 5speed also? I am in Raleigh and would like to stay in touch as I proceed on mine. I have attached pics of how I want to do mine, and how it is now. I think you can tell which one is which.....lol Steve(ncsurfer)

[SparkyRnD]

those little 4 cylinders are great power plants when turbo's are added, and great for mileage....not to mention the lower weight. Awesome choice, and would love to see this in person sometime!

[ncsurfer]

Did you have to modify the Volvo head?

[ncsurfer]

Thanks, I will keep you posted on my progress. I am in Raleigh, NC. Steve

[1965svo]

Thanks guys, I wish I had more time to work on the car but with me being an engineering student I have no time.

That looks like a pretty sweet little project ncsurfer, do you have a build thread? To answer your question about the volvo head there is some modification for it to work. A great source of information is on stinger-performance.com. There is more information than you could probably ever need on the forum there.
