Hello Gerry. Even as insane and unorthodox as I am, I wouldn't consider a BBF in a '66 Mustang. You'll just ruin the car. First it has to be given a front clip from another type of car in order to get rid of the shock towers. Then, that big hunk of iron over the front axle will just be a bear to handle. Tough to steer, tough to manage in the curves, just an evil-handling beast. It would take a C6 to handle the torque and that means cutting and rebuilding the floor and driveshaft tunnel. You'd need a narrowed 9 inch in the rear. It's just a bad idea that even I would not undertake. Pirate a 5.0 and trans from a late Mustang and rig it for a 150hp shot of N2O. Replace your rear with an 8.8 rear out of the same donor. You'll rip the tires off that little jewel.
