Looking back at this thread (now 1 year old), I read that this car had already been the recipient of a roller-motor swap before he bought it the first time. To my twisted way of thinking, swapping in the Cobra motor isn't a irreversible sin. But it sounds like he may be yanking out the dash/interior too. I hope that's not the case. It would be a shame to remove the stuff that makes this car an SSP.

Let's see if we hear from the owner ??? The roller motor i don't mind so much cuz it's still a 5.0 and if injected even better for driveability ? i think . plus is done correct you can save the harness .

the 4.6 takes a dif k-member and all , i have done 2 of these swaps on reg fox cars .. 1 of those made a Magazine at a Fun ford event in Cordova Ill.

I didn't realize installing the 4.6L required a new K-member in a Fox. That does change the scope of the project. It sounds like there's a way to save this SSP where everyone could benefit.

Bill, The 4.6 is too wide to just drop down into the stock mountings , it would also sit too far forward .
I used AJE for a K-member , you can also swap/modify the 98 cobra
K-member into a fox .
I think the best candidate for the sawp is the car that Jim has offered and save the 84 DPS !
Sure hope they are NOT using the torch method .??

Wow, boy are yall gonna hate me! Sorry folks but the swap is almost complete, and indeed it is a 100% swap dash, seats from a 07 GT, carpet, and oh my gawd could it be...Oh yep that is indeed a tubular K member...

As stated on the other SSP site this car was bought as a 4 eyed coupe not as a black and white. Also noted was that I drive my cars DAILY, I don't have them just to put in my sig or to show off once a year. unniest part is I was honestly going to take up the offer to swap for the 86, but after seeing you all's comments I would rather keep mine, and post its progress here. Thanks for no stay tuned for pics and vids.

Gonna make the first burnout on top of my 140 speedo that much better... lol

Justin,

There is no need to post the progress of your project. It is your car and your business what you do with it however other members here don't agree with the direction your headed with a perfectly restorable SSP. Nobody on this site wants to read about it. You will get a much better reception from some of the other social networking mustang websites. Good luck with your project.

From the forum guidlines:

5. If you don't own a Special Service Mustang, you are more than welcome to be a part of this community. However, we will not stand by while people who don't own SSP Mustangs cause problems on this website. We also do not care to hear about how you just found an SSP car, and are now planning on dropping in a big-block Chevy motor, super and turbo-charging it, road-racing it, driving it off a cliff, etc.

This one is closed guys.
