A quick note out there.Is there anyone that know's of a nice(no rat nest wiring)Z conversion.I live on the other side of Seattle Wa.I've looked at a couple around the state(most have Automatic's,Yuk!)Real sports car have manual's.The ideal car would be a 302(alum head's) ford,with a 5-6 speed.I've always wanted a Scarab and had a (small)chance to have one built in 76 with my 72 240(but wife said no.I don't have the wife anymore,but would still have the Scarab).Before you think that's all I will have,i've just finished my 75 280,well 99% done,and want a V-8 car to sit next to the 280.I don't mind a little travel,but please nothing on the other side of the country.Thank you for any help you can give.Tom.

302(alum head's) ford,

Kind of an odd set of parameters but you'd probably have better luck on Hybridz.  This is Classic.

The Ford swap is not common.  Your best bet would be to have someone build one for you.
