OK, since I totally can’t hang with you big boys re suspension. One more (highly unlikely) engine option. http://syracuse.craigslist.org/cto/3367376417.html
Oh man, what a project. Engine alone is probably $10,000. Or double that.
OK, twin cam six swap. How about Toyota Supra 3.0 litre, 220hp, 320 w/turbo.

"Drive Happy"Don’t know much about the S2000 engine but I have driven one a couple of times. I love that engine, it really likes to rev.
I’ve committed to Mustang II this week and bought a 1976 2300/4 speed parts car, but do not plan on using the engine. Does anyone know if the 2300 4 speed and bellhousing will fit on a 2800 V6?

"Drive Happy"My cataloging is too vague for something that old. My suggestion is taka a pizza to your local Ford parts department and bribe them to cross reference the applications for both and see if they would use the same part number. I never played with the V6. I used the T-bird bellhousing from the Turbo Coupe to mate the later Mustang 5 speed. 4 cyl and V8 Tremac 5 speeds are interchangable externally. Input and output shafts are different.
Sorry to be of no help.

"Drive Happy"When I took the straight 6 and 3-speed out of my ’67 Nova and replaced with a 350 from a ’74 truck and a wide-ratio Muncie 4-speed, I used the same bell housing. Ford will likely be similar. The Cologne 2.8 and the 2.3 went in the same cars and probably used all the same transmissions.
Still a guess though.
Did you call that Pinto owner whose craigslist ad I sent? Wonder if he put that V6 in.
Looking about. This guy was all into documenting what fits with what. The email link still works. No idea if he’s still there though.
UPDATE (and I quote):
Still here.
He will need a new bellhousing. The 2.3 and 2.8 are very different.

Thanks. I think there’s a guy up in York PA trying to sell a 2.8 with bellhousing. I also will need proper flywheel.
Found this as part of another link. Just further confirmation.
PS: Sorry forgot direct answer: NO 4-cyl engine will bolt up to a 2.9 bellhousing. Only a 2.9/2.8 or a 4.0 (but that could present its own problems). All these are v6s. 3.0 v6 has its own bellhousing pattern, by the way.
