So here's the game plan 00 Mustang + LSx + huge turbo :) We just picked up the car for our new project and would love some feedback. The car is a 2000 Ford Mustang V6 auto with just over 100k. Its a single owner car, never seen a fender bender and is perfect in every way. Stole it for $400. 
The swap... We're going to tear the car down to just the unibody and remove everything thats non essential for a fun street/strip car. Its going to recieve an 6.0 iron truck block stuffed with forged internals(w2w Mahle boost pistons/Pro-mod rods and 4340 4" crank) and topped with some decent heads. Custom made 1.75" headers will run to either an S95 or Precisino turbo 96mm with a 5" downpipe and twin tial 44mm gates. Transmission will be a powerglide with a dedenbear case and 1.80 straight cut gears, rear will be a 9" with ~3.50 gears. Outside will get a VFN 5" cowl hood similar to John Urist's mustang without the scoops and a 12" sheetmetal wing on the rear with chute. Inside will recieve a couple of race seats probably kirkey or so, some carbon fiber parts on the dash filled with autometer guages. Wolfe racecraft 10 point cage with window net, sub frame connectors will finish the interior. Dash will be stripped as much as possible but still leaving a factory appearance and a air to water IC will be hidden behind the dash. Street duties will be on a set of CCW 500s while at the track we'll use Weld aluma stars with 30 x 10.5" slicks and skinnies up front. Target weight will be around 2800lbs. How does that sound?
The corvette will probably get a new milder motor to enjoy the sunny summer days.

Atta boy. Keep us posted on the progress. I wonder if truck manifolds would clear any on the aftermarket k-members? Might simplify the header situation somewhat. Sounds like a killer setup.

Sounds like a COOL project
I've actually already started the same project last month at our shop with a 99' V6 Car. Been keeping it on the downlow so the local crowd doesnt catch wind.
We are most likely going to run a full built Rossler 4L80E w/transbrake to maintain overdrive.
Its a slow proceeding project we concocted up over last summer, but didn't get started until just recent.
Will keep an eye on your project, as great minds think alike

I'm going to lay another layer of glass and hopefully pull it off to start the body work to finish the mold. If time permits I am going to start the pattern for the sheetmetal rear wing. We've only got a week or so before parts start getting here so its gotta get done.
