With some simple mathematics and a lot of will, you too can make the monstrosity of your dreams.
The popularity of Honda engine swapping is largely owed to the commonality found across the brand's platform. From petite four-cylinder packaging to shared ECUs, some swaps are as close to plug-and-play as is mechanically reasonable, but dropping a 3.5-liter J35 V-6 from a 2004 Honda Odyssey into a 1967 Ford Mustang isn't exactly that.That didn't stop the Dead Horse Beaters team from creating the engine-swapped monstrosity of their racing dreams, however.
To keep weight off the front end, the Honda V-6 was mounted in the mid-section of the Mustang. Opening up the engine bay allows for a mix of stock Accord suspension pieces and custom-modified tubular suspension arms, as well as a front-mounted, transmission-tunnel-fed Honda cooling system and 22-gallon fuel cell. Fitted with AP racing calipers up front, front-end Honda Accord calipers in the rear, and BC racing coilover suspension, the results on track speak for themselves.
