I see how it is....Not that I want to see you go or anything but, I would sell and build any of the FF kit's that fits what you want to build. You only live once and you can't do it in 20 years most likely.
I'll put some more thought into it, while watching a few more wrecked Coyotes sell. There's a pretty much ideal donor on the block tomorrow, should go for less than the $3,225 the other one went for. It's pretty far away though.Doable. Running, driving, sorted SS/TC goblin should easily fetch $22k, but I want you to keep the goblin.
Mustang people worldwide know how to wreck a Mustang, to be fair.Dang, them southern boys really know how to wreck a Mustang though. Most of them seem to be missing wheels, half their engines, etc. Yikes!
Good input from an experienced builder, thanks. The option list for FFR's kits is pretty daunting for an inexperienced builder like me.Having built 18 FFR kits and owned 5 of them, I think building a MK4 is a great project to go from the Goblin to. I sold my MK4 years ago and still miss it very much. I may build another one for myself down the road. My personal advice is don't go the cheap route. You will want to do P/S, P/B and heat/defrost. The coyote is wicked fast. A basic 320 is very quick also. The 427 is a bit much for the street, IMO. I built 2 of them for customers and they could break the wheels loose at 90 in 5th gear. My MK4 had a 430 hp 347 and was great to drive. Just my 2 cents worth.

I think your opinion is worth a LOT more than two cents!Having built 18 FFR kits and owned 5 of them, I think building a MK4 is a great project to go from the Goblin to.

Never heard that about the mustang but I believe it. Not sure how I would go about it.I've always heard that you can build a mustang from all aftermarket parts but I don't know far up that extends into the later models.
If you are going carburetor of aftermarket EFI, it should be pretty simple to source everything, but cost wise it might not make sense.
That is what 98% of us do. Donor can have issues sometimes. Plus when customers are spending between 65-95K they want all new parts.I wonder if it's practical to do a FF without a donor? What would be your opinion on that wallace58?
