S65 and DCT Swap into 1979 Foxbody Mustang

[Anton5448]

I've been throwing around some ideas for what engine to throw into my fox body. When I was daily shopping, I almost ended up with an e92 m3, and I definitely wanted to experience the s65. Finding an engine and trans seems easy enough, but I'm unsure about control packs and such. I'm aware of driveshafts and engine mounts being custom, but I wanted to know if there were good places to start looking at stuff for swapping since I know swapping these engines is a thing in other BMWs, such as the e46.

The S65, DCT & rear end would be magical in a Stang. I’d love this in a 90’s 5.0 GT. In a 70’s Stang, it would be bonkers! I’ve always thought about the S65 & DCT in a built up 2000-03 Tundra for a desert tool though. Having paddles and high RPM in a full caged, 4 linked, long travel front end would be the business!
