Holy , that swap didn't take long. Did you already swap the engine and drivetrain.

No I just got done stripping the other one about a hr. ago. The fuel tank and rear will go in first in about a week or 2. I probably won't get the motor and trans in till winter. I have the heads and intake for a 351 build so that might happen. If not The grey cats parts will go in it. I just picked a real good deal on a explorer,guess what it's black to. Now I got a black pu ,explorer and cat.I feel like I'm starting all over again. Well I am, just don't need to paint this one.

I'm thinking 351W for the Sport. The Black car looks great.....a little bit sinister. It sits a little high the way the Sport used to. I wish at times I had never lowered it.

Sorry to hear about your cat, may she rest in pieces.  The good news is that you didn't get hurt and as much as it may sound like heresy in this particular venue, the cat can be replaced, but your life can't.

It's a beautiful cat. I orginaly bought it from a member on here in jersey. But my buddy's wife saw it and she wanted it, So it never made it home with me. Bought it back for what I sold it to him for. It's sinister with a V6. I'm curios to see how it runs with the 373's in it. I don't think I'm going to put the front mach 1 springs back in that was in the grey one, they seemed a little to soft.

Wow Kitz sorry to see the Cougar twin to my car met such a gnarly end.  Glad you are OK.  And I 2nd what everyone else is saying about stripping everything you can!  I would hate to even hit a deer with my car.  The yards around here have crushed all the fox cars and I am afraid it would be difficult to find body parts easily.

Wow! I just saw this. I'm glad you're okay. I'm sorry to see that happened, it was a nice looking ride. It's cool you were able to replace it so fast. Have fun with the new one, it looks good too.
