Im currently installing a 250 6 and a c4 tranny for a more reliable ride than the 2 speed ford-o-matic tranny that came with it.
next thing i want is the mustang II suspension with airride.
then maybe down the road sometime a 5.0 FI HO motor????
thanks for the positive comments! didnt think i'd get any at all here.

A 250 sounds like a good plan, with 9:1 compression and a few bolt ons you'll have nearly as much torque as a V8. Not to mention the durability of a block with 7 main bearings.Originally Posted by SDBCIVIC
The hood clearance will be close and the bellhousing will probably be close to the firewall as well. The best thing about the 250 (other than about 40 ft. lbs more torque) is that it has the same bellhousing pattern as the V8. So you could put an AOD or a T5 behind it and have a good setup for the highway. The C4 is a great transmission but on the highway I feel like I need higher gearing. With a 200/C4/3.10 rear end I turn 3k at 70mph. If I had a 3.00 or a 2.79 it wouldn't be so bad I guess but it'd be a dog off the line.
Do you have a crossmember for the C4 swap already?
I have a crossmember from the granada the c4 came from. I dont know if it will work but I found one at falconparts.com that is prefabbed for it though. I got a deal on the 250 and the c4 together so thats why I have a c4. Its good to know a aod will bolt up to the 250 though. it would definatley be nice for cruisin.
Not trying to "gangster" my car. I like air ride for ride quality and stance purposes between driving and cruising.
sorry for any confusion when I said gangster white walls.
4 lugger!
