Will it be driveable with an S85?
I would think that you need the traction control stuff as well.

We will build a complete new chassis for it and integrate it into the existing frame. The guys at the Roadster Shop (IL) will be doing the build for me. We are finishing a 65 Mustang fast back now with a 500hp ford racing motor. Similar concept here ....

welcome! While I wouldn't put anything stronger than an S38 in a coupe, I can't wait to see how the S85 coupe comes along. That's a total monster of an engine. Make sure you share with us!

Also, when it's done call me. I'll fly to where ever you are for a ride in it. That's just insane. :mrgreen:

We are going to build a new chassis and integrate it into the body. Otherwise you are correct the s85 would twist it apart. The guys at the Roadster Shop in IL will be doing the build for me. They are currently working on a 65 Mustang fastback with a 500hp ford racing motor. Same concept here with a complete modern chassis. Lots of fabrication but I like doing the complicated stuff to a high standard. Check out there website some amazing work. They will post a gallery when we get started and I will post the link. E9 lines are one of my favorite of all time and I am looking at doing something tasteful and respectful.
