I was one of the "it's never going to fit" crowd. I can't tell you how happy I am to be proven wrong - this is one of the best hot rodding projects you've ever done, Tony & crew! Unique always wins when everyone else is doing the same old, easy-peasy engine swaps and builds.
I was right there with ya. I know how tight those engine bays are to begin with. They still have a lot of hurdles to jump. At least they have the main one cleared.
@@MikeAnderson-uj3oo Even though they have some massive issues to deal with, I'd say the remaining hurdles are next to nothing (though I would have tried a K-member that supports coilovers in order to hack out the shock towers for throttle body clearance). If there's a bellhousing, there will be a flywheel and clutch, and the remaining bits to make it workable are nothing in comparison to the job they just achieved. Plus, since they had to low-mount the rack, they should be able to avoid the bump steer issue by using the later spindles - relatively easy issues to overcome. The only thing I'm concerned about are engine mounts. I don't trust how far out they're cantilevered, or the thickness of the mounting plate. That's the only obvious point of failure that I'm seeing at the moment.
@@earlbrown They can hack the core support and install one slightly angled, C4 Vette style. They can go full Porsche and run a pair of radiators on either side of the fenders - and given Tony's experience with a 996s - including having PowerKraut on hand as a reference - doing that wouldn't be too difficult either. So many ways to make this happen. The intake is the only concern I still have. Does the "other" intake bolt up as the internet claims it will, will it drive the build cost way up, and will it provide the clearance necessary?

Sox drove a 1963 Chevrolet and then a factory-sponsored A/FX Mercury Comet in 1964.

That single tube in the motor mount, I'd add a second tube underneath. The single tube looks like it's almost horizontal. Not a good situation. Amazing that it fits, and they make a bell housing for it? Nuckin Futz. Great works guys. Can't wait to see the next episode.
The T-56 was used in aston v12s from at least ‘99-‘06. Dodge, Cadillac, Chevy, Ford, Pontiac, and Holden have used this transmission from the factory in their cars. It’s an incredibly common transmission for “sporty” cars and trucks.
I will agree 1000%. I am so sick of LS swaps. And right behind that is body swaps. Taking an old body and sticking it on a modern car. Whatever happened to guys building their own chassis ? I just don't see the enjoyment in that. Maybe because I have built a few complete cars myself. Small block Chevette, 4x4 Elcamino, Mid engine VW van, Rear engine Ford Courier pick up, These were all complete hand fabricated chassis. No sticking a body on top of something else.
Right? Don't get me wrong, I understand why people do LS swaps. Easy to find and easy to make power with but they're everywhere. That's why I'm wanting to go with a 8.1 swap in my obs Chevy. Not unheard of but still not an LS swap.
Fun fact, the reason things seem to good to be true on availability for conversion parts is because the 6.0 v12 from Aston was a ford design utilizing the 3.0 duratec v6 block as starting point. They literally duplicated the casting end to end to make a v12
no, the block is completely different in design with deep skirt and no girdle. it has its own bellhousing the reason it has a magnum upgrade bellhousing is because it came with a t56 from the factory.
A tip for clearing tunnels and bashing sheet metal in, use a 4x4 as a chisel and hammer it on the surface, it will make a lot more room in a cleaner way, with almost no hammer marks. That thing is gonna be awesome.
Thats basically two ford v-6 put together. And basically a ford v-6 bellhousing bolt pattern. So not too wild, unlike what you guys are doing. Can't wait to hear that thing rip. Best car channel on TH-cam!
Tony's bro his body language is like nope, this ain't going to work or fit. If I didn't see it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it. Crew stabbed that thing in like it was stock.😮
A line I used to use a lot is "I hate when people tell me something is impossible, especially while I'm doing it!" While crowded, that would still fit on a T-shirt.
Please keep that chain hoist, my father was a expert old school machanic, i remembered his shop always had a chain hoist taking out engines ect, great memories i had listening to that sound , brought back huge memories as a kid watching him tear into cars , he had no fear to fix them . My father was awesome and i see that in you! Never change buddy ok!!@
Ya, needs a bigger baseplate to spread out the force and 2 more supports. maybe after the headers are figured out then rework the mounts. awesome build!!!
Yeah that base plate was a little scrawny looking. I'd put a thicker longer plate bolted where it currently is, with an extra part sticking forward. Triangular gusset under the arm to the plate hanging out over that space . Maybe some back support.
I've owned several Ford era Jaguars. The biggest issue I encountered on almost every one was the wiring. Mechanically, they are built tough. And yes, I do know I'm talking about Jaguar. Like Jeremy Clarkson said once, an Aston is basically a Jaguar in a party frock. In the situation you guys are in, you will no doubt be using an aftermarket, stand alone, wire harness. So you will be able to eliminate all the issues they are notorious for. I will be honest, I really had doubts that you we're going to shoehorn that monstrosity in place. Good job boys. And Tony.
Lol that's me right now I have a 197,000 mile jaguar XKR from 2002. The engine is incredibly solid but some wiring harnesses for the throttle body are corrupted so I have to replace them
This brings me back to wrenching on Fox bodies as a daily hobby! Having all the 5.0 mods, there’s no way we would have done this back in the 80’s/90’s. But with the “modern” engine swap options, this just makes crazy sense. (Emphasis on CRAZY) Fun to watch all your project videos!
This is what engine swaps were back in the day to see what crazy combinations they came up with. Hot Rodding the old school way love this. Shove the biggest engine into the smallest car 🚗
South Bend Clutch might be able to match up a clutch set, they told me they have a cross reference of what works with what and can provide a solution for whatever your trying to accomplish.
These Aston V12’s are bullet proof. Have many clients with 100k miles on them. Only thing they are known for is going through plugs and coils. We’ve been using the Amazon coils successfully and they are 1/4 the price.
Simply Stunning! I absolutely love this build, Tony! I can’t say enough about it but I’ll try. This embodies the true spirit of hot rodding, just like the vets did on the dry lake beds after they returned home from WWII. Speaking of “dub’ya, dub’ya TWO,” as my beloved grandpa used to call it, I’m reminded another well known Mustang that benefited greatly from a British V-12 swap, the fighter aircraft that served as inspiration for Lee Iacocca’s original Ford Mustang: the P-51! Not sure if you realized it, Tony, but you just stumbled upon my dream custom build with significant historical heritage. I instantly envisioned a bright silver paint job with air brushed panels and rivets in a direct nod to the P-51D, with an old school olive drab interior with stacks of aviation gauges, levers, and canvas or leather bomber seats? My imagination is running wild with names like “LOW LEVEL ‘STANG” or, since it was the Rolls-Royce designed engine that completely transformed the Mustang into a real world beater, just straight up call it “MERLIN!” One last thought- if you route the exhaust out the front fenders to resemble the aircraft, paint some nose art of a dark haired, bosomy pinup girl in knee-high socks and not much else, name her “SIMPLY STUNNING” as she is on my tattoo and you can consider me at the top perspective buyers. Please! My wife may divorce me but I’d go into debt for the opportunity to own this direct link to aviation and automotive history. Don’t call me crazy, just crazy enthusiastic.😂
@@StayTunedTA I grew up watching Powerblock TV and Stacey David would always have like a cart with all the new parts they were putting on the project that was totally product placement. Throwing the old parts off the bench is the final Powerblock TV touch
HellYeah Tony! Let’s see what the Aston Mustang can do. Fun projects like this keep me coming back. Gotta think of a clever James Bond name for it. Beer and a Slice Time! Ready to Stay Tuned🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
Hey Tony and crew. Watching from my Las Vegas home. I suggest the name Foxy Martin. Being 57 years young a lot ...A lot of my friends had fox body Stangs and fixed them up and they won most races against most Chevy and Pontiacs with ease. Have a great weekend, we all enjoy your content and conversation!
Tony and his guys are BADASS , V8 Porsche , Sike clone p/u , 55 Chevy , drift car , sleeper Lincoln and now a killer Mustang !!! . I think BANGERS & SMASH would be a great name lol . Cheers 🇨🇦
Thank God you've chosen a manual transmission ! EVERY CHANNEL GOES WITH THE AUTO TRANS ! In a few short years the stick will disappear into the night...thank you for putting up a fight ! WHY NOT THE "TKX?'
A friend of mine just finished rebuilding one of those motors, inside they're just 2 V6 Mondeo motors... But they do go well and they do sound awesome...
Alright Tony, as a PA boy, with another PA boy over here in the UK, come on over to England and do an on-location video of “Stay Tuned.” Hell, I’ll even pay for your airfare. The English engine/Foxbody combination has me intrigued. That said, we are just a couple of Pennsylvania boys and a British mate, with Foxbody Mustangs doing the impossible over here; restoring, rebuilding and drag racing with the logistic pains of being overseas.
I don't understand why youtube dosen't suggest different videos more I had no idea about this channel till the collaboration with Derek but I'm glad I found it eventually
That’s a FoxTon of motor in there . “full of pizza and full of hope” is my motto in the garage as well lol should definitely be a shirt with like the new hope Star Wars font and count me in for one lol .
What a cool project! Not to give you any bad ideas, but Nobel has done wonders strapping turbos to this engine's V6 sister. Just an idea! Call it the Asstang 😂
you guys are great!! I have a tedious and frustrating job to do on my truck today and every time I need I break so I don't start throwing things, I come in and watch you guys grinding away on this project and it gets me motived to go back out to the garage and endure more punishment.
This build is insane! I can't wait to hear, run and how it drives. FYI I have a question for you. But I have a DR appointment. Ill ask once I get home. GREAT GREAT work your doing. 👍👍👍👍👍👍The number of the thumbs is a hint...
I had the same color, same year fox, had some “mechanic” fix the struts as I didn’t have welding experience (it came out about as bad as yours), I had to sell it after putting a ton of work into it because I had move out of my apartment after getting dumped. For a split second I thought this was my fox that yall ended up with when I saw those strut towers haha. I will own one of these again, sick video !
I think I ordered that car your working in 1989. It had a special anniversary badge on the passenger side dash Ang a removable sunroof. Brings back memories
Tony, I recommend you put grease fittings into all the urethane bushing mounts so you can grease them, that’s what I do with mine. We all know how badly these urethane bushings squeak and you’re adding in several squeak points.
From 1999 to 2006 the Lincoln LS was available with a 3.0 l v6 with a manual transmission. The Aston Martin V12 was built from the 3.0 l v6 molds. Therefore the rest of the rear of the engines are the same. The flywheel and clutch from the Lincoln engine will bolt up to the crank on the V 12. I have seen both engines and when you look at them from the rear you can't tell the difference. Ford would use all the same dimensions as they already had the main parts. I don't think the clutch would be able to handle the torque oh the V 12 but it would be a start. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Tony will definitely reach one million subscribers. I share and tell everyone I can about he's channel. That's what everybody needs to do SPREAD THE WORD
Dudes!! Mad props!! Just saying it... V-12 Mustang!! Ahhhhh.... I found myself saying several things at diff. points. 1) They're gonna have to cut that firewall out to let that monster roam: remains 2b seen! 1a) They're gonna end up w a 13" driveshaft!! 2) Gonna have to cut that trans tunnel: True! 3) Don't like the angle of the dangle! (motor mounts) need gussets! 4) Still have major hurdles: room for accessories, Rad, fans, steering shaft, Master cyl, (maybe under floor or electric?) HEADERS!! Carnac says: (answer): I see a LOT of Fab in your future!! All that said?? "DAMN THE TORPEDOS"!! FULL SPEED AHEAD!! Brakes?? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING BRAKES!! BRAKES ARE FOR QUITTERS!! GODSPEED GENTLEMEN!! BE CAREFUL!!!
Right on QA1 Tubular SubFrame!! This one is gonna be Rad! Fun!! I agree with Fox & Martin. Also with a revisit in about 4 months to a year with hop upgrades. Sweet Bridgeport, we use those at QA1.

For a split second I thought this was my fox that yall ended up with when I saw those strut towers haha. I will own one of these again, sick video !
Those sounds were rad!😂 almost as rad as the silicone bushings getting punished onto place
That old Bridgeport drill press is bad ass!!
You guys are crushing it the shop is saved!
Y’all are truly living out your dreams. Wild car builds. Pizza and cold snacks with friends. Then making money from it is the cherry on top 🍻🍻 Gents
guess I started watching this before and am now coming back to you guys where you're doing the trans tunnel massaging...I'm hooked now, lol
This project is awesome. Keep crushing it guys.
Those frigging tunnels are so tough. That’s why we cut them out. I’ve hammered for quite a long time and moved the tunnel about 1/2”
“Gota come out to beat the tunnel up” should be a Valentine’s Day tshirt 😂😂😂☠️
I think I ordered that car your working in 1989. It had a special anniversary badge on the passenger side dash Ang a removable sunroof. Brings back memories
This is extremely slick! Definitely a unique build right here…..stay tuned they might lose the shop 😂 love this channels content!!
This is crazy ! Can’t wait for the results
This is one of the sickest swaps ever
Awesome build! You all should get a "Sine Bar" for your mill it will help out with the angle cuts.
You should fab new badges from 5.0 to 6.0. Might be a cool subtle change to the fox body. :) This is an awesome build. Love watching.
have only just tuned in and subscribed. Absolutely awesome build!!!!
Love it, V12 into that Mustang, great job boys.
You gotta call it Aspony, awesome work guys!
Tony, I recommend you put grease fittings into all the urethane bushing mounts so you can grease them, that’s what I do with mine. We all know how badly these urethane bushings squeak and you’re adding in several squeak points.
Can't wait for the V12 Mustang to run when it's all done.
From 1999 to 2006 the Lincoln LS was available with a 3.0 l v6 with a manual transmission. The Aston Martin V12 was built from the 3.0 l v6 molds. Therefore the rest of the rear of the engines are the same. The flywheel and clutch from the Lincoln engine will bolt up to the crank on the V 12. I have seen both engines and when you look at them from the rear you can't tell the difference. Ford would use all the same dimensions as they already had the main parts. I don't think the clutch would be able to handle the torque oh the V 12 but it would be a start. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Steve Martin could be a name for the car.Great video.
Austang 12 what a tight fit, great job,
Fastin’ Musty
Gunna be a killer mind trip to hear that v12 coming out of that foxbody
Wow it fits, can't wait to see the beast in action.
Another reason i have 2 newer Mustangs. One being 04 SVT Cobra terminator (4900orig mis). Hard to beat these cars!
I find this channel to be mostly adequate. No scratch that. Substantially adequate. ❤
If I didn't see this video with my own eyes. I wouldn't have believed it. Fox body with a v12. Bravo gentleman.
Tony will definitely reach one million subscribers. I share and tell everyone I can about he's channel. That's what everybody needs to do SPREAD THE WORD
Dudes!! Mad props!! Just saying it... V-12 Mustang!! Ahhhhh.... I found myself saying several things at diff. points. 1) They're gonna have to cut that firewall out to let that monster roam: remains 2b seen! 1a) They're gonna end up w a 13" driveshaft!! 2) Gonna have to cut that trans tunnel: True! 3) Don't like the angle of the dangle! (motor mounts) need gussets! 4) Still have major hurdles: room for accessories, Rad, fans, steering shaft, Master cyl, (maybe under floor or electric?) HEADERS!! Carnac says: (answer): I see a LOT of Fab in your future!! All that said?? "DAMN THE TORPEDOS"!! FULL SPEED AHEAD!! Brakes?? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING BRAKES!! BRAKES ARE FOR QUITTERS!! GODSPEED GENTLEMEN!! BE CAREFUL!!!
I love when you put non-traditional motors in caes. This car is going to turn some heads with the sound. Keep up the great work!!!!
Right on QA1 Tubular SubFrame!!
This one is gonna be Rad! Fun!!
I agree with Fox & Martin. Also with a revisit in about 4 months to a year with hop upgrades. Sweet Bridgeport, we use those at QA1.
Yo I came and subscribed to this channel because of this video.
Please make this a series. I can’t wait to see what you turn this into and I hope sponsors get involved.
This thing would be an amazing sema car
Who’s buying the other 11 bellhousings to flip later when Tony makes this thing famous?
Oh boy, I love watching work
