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?
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.
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'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
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!!@

Sox drove a 1963 Chevrolet and then a factory-sponsored A/FX Mercury Comet in 1964. In 1965, he drove an altered-Wheelbase Plymouth. so,fox and martin is safe as these 2 drove all the big three.good tribute
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.
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 UA-cam!
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.
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.
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!
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.😂
I went the opposite way years ago. Long before anyone was doing engine swaps. I put a Chrysler engine - transmission and rear-end into a British sports car. Four wheel disc brakes. Six Konis. All braided lines. One reason I can appreciate your work. Great episode. My new favorite thing to look forward to on a Friday. Worked on my BMW, came in and watched this.
@@stephencurry8552 oooh. I really didn't expect that. Wasn't expecting it to be an XJS either. Honestly, glad I asked. That's awsome. 😎 Any chance you've any footage of it?
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 !
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.
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🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
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...
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 🚗
I dont know if Ive seen a better looking swap in a foxbody, those intake runners and the way it sits down in there looks amazing! I also like the history between the two companies which has even carried on to newer care like the front grille of a ford fusion looking like an Aston, etc. it all makes perfect sense to do this swap, while also making none at all, thats what rodding is about. I cant wait to hear this thing roar and see how you tackle to tuning, electrical.
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.
You shouldn’t have had too widen the trans tunnel on your 83 s10 to do the 350/350swap cause I didn’t have to when I did mine back in 2012 the only thing I had to do was notch the floor because I decided to slap a hurst ratchet shifter in it since I had line lock and a trans brake
@@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
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?'
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.
delusional, it needs brilliant exhaust they developed the system many many years ago. or the brazillian secret weapon exhaust that successful on doing that recently

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!!!
That is one nice, "Mostly Adequate" V12 install! I worked on Astons for a few years. I feel your pain. But you will LOVE the way it sounds when yer done!
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
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.
What would I stick this Ford Duratec V12 into? Maybe a late 30s or 40s Lincoln Zephyr or Continental, a T-Bucket, a 1940 Ford coupe or sedan, any fifties or sixties Jaguar or Rover P4. A Bonneville streamliner, definitely.
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.
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...
If I can fit a 572 BBF into my 1991 mustang then this is a piece of cake. 🍰 Your big TV days have come full circle doing your own video creations now is cool! Ford figured out the magic secrets of big engine power back in the day as piston diameter volume like a 4.500" bore is key to all top performance builds and why the V12 isn't capable of big power without a power adder like a supercharger. 😢
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
The fitment of that reminds me of my buddy’s old S13 that had an RB26 in it. It was shoehorned in there for sure! I remember we had to hammer a small dent in the core support to clear the crank pulley.
How critical is that 1.25” driveline offset in order to keep the driveshaft parallel with the car? I remember pulling a bunch of 8.8” rear ends from 90’s Explorers and they had an obvious 2-3” offset with the tail shaft. Seemed like it’s just an additional offset for the u-joints to make up.
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.

You shouldn’t have had too widen the trans tunnel on your 83 s10 to do the 350/350swap cause I didn’t have to when I did mine back in 2012 the only thing I had to do was notch the floor because I decided to slap a hurst ratchet shifter in it since I had line lock and a trans brake
Thank you for preaching a bit of safety Tony
Love the Tavarish clip, where yet again Tony drives MUCH faster than his passengers are comfortable with.
Dropping a V12 into anything makes it epic.
22:40 OH SHIT! He's got the table with the new parts on it. Power block vibes lol
Hahaha, it always scream Fast and Furious to me!
@@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
You gotta love the old Power Block days. It was like a two hour long commercial for new parts.
That engine is the size of the car! It’s going to be so cool. 👍 You will have to remove the 5.0 badges and get some V12 badges to take their place.
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?'
more gears more better
Manuel harder to steal !!! LOL😅Hot Rods should have manuel and grocery getters need auto !!!JMHO !!
You mean hotrods with manuals and grocery getters named Manuel?
😂@@Drmcclung
@@jasonbirch1182 If you like stick, get a Manuel?
You are a mad lad and I love this project! I am so glad it fits.
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.
Love it!!! Can't wait to hear it rev out... Definitely needs X-pipe no muffler 🤪
Damn right , x pipe , and maybe some black widows
Mufflers and electric exhaust cutouts Sleeper style !!!
delusional, it needs brilliant exhaust they developed the system many many years ago. or the brazillian secret weapon exhaust that successful on doing that recently
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 🇨🇦
Also a great name. Good idea 🍻
@@djk91lx28 hahaha thanks , I also thought maybe Toad on the Road lol 😆. Cheers 🇨🇦
@@mikepoint4717 you sir are far more creative than I. Awesome names.
Yes sir cram that motor in there!
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 😂
The hole saw on the Bridgeport ... priceless 😂
Ooooh man, this is gonna be sweet. Cue the pizza!
Thanks! Appreciate it!
They need to keep track of how many pizzas it takes to finish each car. Obviously the more pizza, the more difficult it was.
This project is so awesome. Finally something, that is 100% outside the box! Can't wait to see more episodes of this AsStang. 🤘
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 .
I support this tshirt idea
You and Lucky built a twin engine Impala. Of all the crazy projects on youtube, this is one I KNOW is gonna run and be awesome!
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
DB5.0
Going to be nuts!!
YES! V12 POWAH!!!
Let's go!
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
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!!!!
Taking ls swap to the next level. I freaking love it. If you dont....you need to see a doc asap. Something wrong.
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!!!
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.
I love how the lighting and camera angles used remind me of the old shows I used to watch on speed channel.
Dude! Awesome project, love every bit of it. Been following since HRG, you rock and I love the raw youtube stuff!
This has strong potential to be my favourite youtube build of all time. Such killer content 👌👌
That is one nice, "Mostly Adequate" V12 install!
I worked on Astons for a few years. I feel your pain. But you will LOVE the way it sounds when yer done!
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
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.
My favorite UA-cam build to date. Can’t wait to see it all come together!
I love this project. That engine is going to sound crazy coming out of the old foxbody. It will definitely be unique 👌
What would I stick this Ford Duratec V12 into? Maybe a late 30s or 40s Lincoln Zephyr or Continental, a T-Bucket, a 1940 Ford coupe or sedan, any fifties or sixties Jaguar or Rover P4. A Bonneville streamliner, definitely.
Awesome build! Waiting tirelessly for the next episode.
We used to eat cake like that all the time... awesome good. Loving the swap guys, keep up the good work and details!
Good stuff!, keep em coming Tony. Your channel keeps getting better with every episode!.
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.
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...
If I can fit a 572 BBF into my 1991 mustang then this is a piece of cake. 🍰 Your big TV days have come full circle doing your own video creations now is cool! Ford figured out the magic secrets of big engine power back in the day as piston diameter volume like a 4.500" bore is key to all top performance builds and why the V12 isn't capable of big power without a power adder like a supercharger. 😢
This is one of the sickest swaps ever
Tony …. You will have a Million Subscribers by the end of the year !! I’m proclaiming it man ✊
You can see the excitement. Can’t wait for the next update. Even though I’m a big soccer Mom fan!
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
The fitment of that reminds me of my buddy’s old S13 that had an RB26 in it. It was shoehorned in there for sure! I remember we had to hammer a small dent in the core support to clear the crank pulley.
My favorite build right now! Awesome ideas guys I love your way!
Love this project!! Can't wait to see the next episode guys!! This car us going to be epic!
How critical is that 1.25” driveline offset in order to keep the driveshaft parallel with the car? I remember pulling a bunch of 8.8” rear ends from 90’s Explorers and they had an obvious 2-3” offset with the tail shaft. Seemed like it’s just an additional offset for the u-joints to make up.
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
Wow it fits, can't wait to see the beast in action.
Awesome build! You all should get a "Sine Bar" for your mill it will help out with the angle cuts.
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.
