    91 Mini Tubbed Mustang Coupe

    Hey everyone,
    Just taken new ownership of Craig Newport's coupe, I have many plans for this. To start I am building a Dart blocked 434W, trying to decide to run my built Powerglide or put a TKO 600 in it, what does everyone else think? I know to bracket race it the Powerglide would be the obvious choice, but I really like the idea of the UMTR class. Do not have any pictures of my own yet, I am sure many of you have seen the pictures of his post when it was put up for sale, I will post pictures as I go. Open to suggestions and or comments.

    Any power adders? Build it to the classes thats affordable for you and what you'd like to run and whether or not you want it streetable or not...that's my advice...Good luck with the build!

    I have the oppertunity to purchase a TKO 600. It has the blow proof bellhousing, Billet fly wheel, spec stage 3 clutch, and a Steeda billet shifter. I am parting out my big block car to pay for this build. The coupe has all Strange Engineering suspension w/ Wilwood disc brakes all the way around. Need to get a rollcage put in it and have it painted.

    I hear the TKO600 is a beast of a tranny.

    Good luck with the build. Big inch windsor with a stick sounds pretty cool. I was hoping it might get built into a 8.5" tire car.

    It still could, I have also been debating a TH400 in it versus the other tranny.
    What do you guys think?

    It has been a slow start w/ this but I have just acquired a cowl hood for it, not much room in the garage with the other car and engines sitting around. Really need to sell my big block and other roller to fund this new project. I do appreciate all the comments and will be working on this more often. I will post some photos later on today, not going to be the best looking car at this time but it will be a starting point and show progress as I work on it. I have my Powerglide and I have just acquired a Tremec 5-speed and Edelbrock Victor Jr. heads as well. Time will tell how everything works w/ that 434W Dart motor.

    Latest update, working on getting the Stang over to Rob to install the Chromoly roll cage. I am working w/ him on picking it up and can't wait to get the cage in the car to start working on the other body components left to be finished and get it painted.

    Not sure if I want to paint the car one solid color or add some character to it, Craig gave me some nice paint (House of Kolor Sunset Pearl).

    If anybody has any paint schemes let me know or post it on here for me to see.

    Here are a few photos of the car rolling on its own. If you haven't noticed the factory door handles have been replaced by another set, anybody able to figure out what they are from? Also notice the relocation of the fuel fill cap?
