Building a 1968 Mustang 5.0 V8 in 15 MINUTES!

1960s1968Engine SoundModificationyoutube

This is the entire 9-month long 1968 Mustang project in just 15 minutes. I bought this Mustang for $9500 barely running and removed the original inline 6 cylinder engine and swapped it with a fuel injected 5.0 V8 from a Ford Explorer. I also swapped the Explorer’s 4R70W AOD transmission, driveshaft, and Ford 8.8 rear differential with limited slip.
