hi yall.
i recently came upon a 64 comet that for some reason i had to buy. the price was right, the car was ugly and old.... perfect. so i drug it home. The offender boarded my trailer as a ragged, stripped, rusty roller. when i started researching, i found the car to be a 6 cylinder car with seemingly undesirable suspension. at this point, it sits while i work on home improvement projects. i have a couple of ideas brewing but not quite sure what ill end up doing with it. no matter the decision, it will be done on a shoe string budget, and just to put a big smile on my face driving it around.
with that being said, i have a healthy 4.6 4v, and 3650 trans from a previous car i parted out, a welder, and a will to learn. i have other "reasonable" engine options available, and am considering as well.

Welcome - a mod motor & 3650 is some major surgery but it’d be mighty sweet!!

Welcome aboard! Rocket's right, it will involve some major surgery and a lot of time, but we have folks that have gone far more radical and made it work. Like Dimmwatt, who put an entire Miata drive train in his 62 Comet.

Thanks fellas! That Miata-comet sounds awesome. Too bad the pictures are all blocked out or whatever by Photobucket.
