Will need engine work. I believe timing chain tensioner broke during cranking. It ran great until this happened. I was starting it to move it in my car hauler to move to my new place. It had not been started in 6 months. Engine stopped turning before the fuel reached the injectors to start. I have not taken it apart to diagnose but I feel it will need new chains, guides and tensioner. Valve timing is causing piston to touch valve and not turn over completely

This was my late father’s Mustang. I don’t have the time to fix and I’m really a Chevy guy. I hate to let it go because it reminds me of him but he always wanted an AR10 so I’ve decided the AR will be a better memory

It needs TLC. Convertible top will need replacement.

Side note: I’m a certified corvette technician so fixing it isn’t hard for me. Just hard to be in it and not be emotionally overwhelmed. I think my dad would be happy with a trade

Is it possible to drop a 5.0 in there?

You would need a new k-member to bolt it up since the blocks are different. After all that work you'd be better off doing a PI head swap with performance cams & gears in the rear.

Thanks for replying. Ask me a Chevy question and I would know

No worries, I had a '98 GT back in the day. Still miss that old horse.

I had swapped the auto out for a Tremec TKO 500 5-speed & had plans for a head swap & gears but I was foolish when i bought a house I figured I'd needed a pickup and traded it in.

Still think about buying another sometimes and swapping a Coyote 5.0 in.
