    I had a 70 , and installed a 302 and 5 speed .
    Had to make my own rear end , as the factory will not hold any power .
    It was a ton of fun .

    I never really noticed them until I saw the one Goblin Works did. Personally, I would've done a built 347 instead of Coyote, just for ease of maintenance. That coyote is really shoe horned in there.

    They definitely could've done a better job on that grill, they made it in shop. the parts in front of the headlights are removeable. But that means you have to pull over, get out and remove them to have the lights unobstructed for night driving. If they hadn't built this on such an insane schedule, maybe they could've come up with something better.

    I had a 72 with the 2 liter engine, 4 speed and factory sunroof. I loved it.

    I had two '72 models. One with the 2.0 and one with the 2.6 V6 motor and sunroof. The 4 cyl would wind to the moon and was cool! The V6 car sounded neat and was sporty enough in the day.
    83 5.0 GT. Quicker than it looks! 10:1 (or just over) 306, Motorsport a332 cam, 140A alt, t5 conv, 8.8 w/ 3.27's, Edel rpm, alum rad, very worked e7's, Holley SA carb, etc... SOLD IT!!!!

    Now an 1981 Granada! .040 over 302, Edel E-street heads... Currently building a 347 because, why not?
