Alright everyone, you all wanted to know my plan so here it is. I figure I am going to try to get my hands on a 2001 Black V6 with black interior and manual trans REAL soon. I will then use that as my daily driver over the winter while I gut out what is left of #929. (what a sick thought) These are the parts I figure to take.
Engine
ECU
Trans
Rear end
Suspension (all salvageable)
Brake system
Side scoops
C panels
Rear decklid minus shopping cart handle so I don’t have to fill holes
Seats
Gauges
Interior aluminum accent pieces
Mach 460 deck, speakers and amp rack
Maybe a few misc parts as I deem fit for the changeover.
Anyone interested in spare parts let me know. Anything I have left that is of interest is certainly open. Just make me an offer, send certified funds for the part and shipping and you will have it. I will post pics after I strip both cars so you know what is left. Although it is going to be mostly bodywork, 3 wheels, a V6, all the Bullitt and Ford badging I can take off of both cars….etc etc…..you get the picture. Parts from 2 cars to choose from.
Anyway, once this is all done then I strip the V6 completely down. No badging except the ponies on the brake calipers and the “Mustang” on the rear fascia. I install the rear end from the Bullitt along with the 3.73 FMS gears I already have and Steeda upper and lower control arms, and subframe connectors. I then install the T3650 along with the new aluminum driveshaft, a driveshaft loop, and the Steeda T/A I have here. While I am doing this I will have the intake and heads ported and polished. I am also going to add BBK longtube headers, a SHM 2730 GT cam, a set of underdrive pulleys, and my densecharger system. After the rear end and the drivetrain are finished and I have all the mods done on the engine I will drop the engine back in along with the wiring harness and ECU from the Bullitt. From there I go to the interior where I will rip out all the seating and replace it with the stuff from the Bullitt including gauges and trim pieces. Then take care of the exterior. I will only be using the c panels and the side scoops though. Also put on the wingless rear decklid. As far as the outside otherwise I am trading off the torque thrusts for a set of 2K Cobra R’s and I am going to use a classic design concepts side exhaust. I am going to keep the stock V6 hood or maybe get a 99 Cobra hood. I think in doing all this I will maintain the integrity of what the car should be and maybe be a little closer to the movie car with no badging, the lowered stance, aggressive handling and the extra oomph of the mods I want to do. The car will kind of be a Bullitt again, just my little spin on it. I guess it can’t help be a lot like a Bullitt when I have a Bullitt as a source of free donor parts for the project. Any opinions on this would be appreciated. Also any technical advice would be helpful. Also anything I might have left out. And after this is done I will certainly be able to talk with the mod squad on what works for me. Afterall, in a different body or not it’s still a Bullitt engine. OH, one final thing. When I run across that spare sticker in the car I think I am gonna have it pressed between two pieces of platic and make it into a key fob. Then definitely get either the license plates “BRNAGN” or “REBORN”. Every dark cloud has a silver lining. You can look at it one of two ways. 1. I will be doing all I can to salvage the car I loved or 2. I am going to be the WORST bullitt poser on the planet cause I had the source for all the parts. LOL :-B Bullitt 929 reincarnates.
