After refining my budget, it looks like I can build a deluxe car or have a bitchin' motor, but probably not both. What I'm hoping to do is get a complete RF or NZ kit and put the most affordable decent motor in it that I can, then put in something pretty later. It looks like the cost of a basic crate motor with carb/efi is going to run at least $4K, and so I was wondering if it would be possible to just yank a recent Mustang GT or Cobra 5.0 engine and everything attached to it out of a wrecked car and hook it up to an Audi transaxle? This would include the fuel injection, controller, computer, etc. - in theory the motor wouldn't know that it was no longer in a Mustang.
I know the idea of a single-donor vehicle FFR-like kit has been tossed around and I'm not thinking about going that far, I'm just trying to find a cheap and simple way to get a basic motor in the car that will run for a few years while I put together something better.
Thanks for any advice,
A
