Supercharged 3.8 swap

Post by Fastronald »

Has nayone ever swapped the drivetrain from a Super Coupe into an early Comet/Fairlane? IF....I can't find a nice Comet, I may look for a 62' - 63' Fairlane. I'm looking for a different drivetrain option from Ford.

There was a guy at Batesville that bought a 62 Comet that I was interested in.He was going to put a early 90s SHO Taurus in.I don't know if he ever did .I'll see if I can find out something on it.Those engines were built for Ford by Yamaha and looked pretty tough.I beleive that they were about 220 hp.Later,Heath

3.8L Supercoupe motor swap

Post by 70snake »

Hello, If you don't have this drivetrain, I have a COMPLETE 1991 T-Bird supercoupe, that runs and drives well (blower was replaced w/ factory rebuilt 2 years ago). I would consider offers on the whole car (body is not very nice, but the car pulls strong rubber in 2 gears 8) and creates 10lbs of boost). I was going to do this swap myself into a Pinto :shock: , but never got around to it. Just PM me if interested, car is 1 hour north of Green Bay, WI.

Swap

Post by Fastronald »

The project has shifted........it's going into a 1981 Granada GLX, The drivetrain is from a 1990 35th "Anni" Super Coupe.

There is a 62' Fairlane locally.................might be a nice swap candidate too.

Are you on SCCoA or TCCoA?

Cool! I had a 75 with a 351W back iin the early 80's.
I think you 'll find that the Granada has quite a bit bigger engine bay
and you will find that little 3.8 takes up a lot of room with all
the stuff they hung on it.
