Yes they were moved back around 2 to 3 inches roughly.I welded in new rhs rails and welded tabs to them to bolt the seats to.Am using the standard seatbelts in original mounting positions.

As for the rear seat i can leave it in there as there is still leg room.But as my car is only built for burnouts drag and other car events i only fitted the 2 front seats.

Here's a 5L alloy block V8 crate engine. You could have this landed for about 9-10K. If you ran all the 2010 Mustang emissions gear with it you could probably get it on the road (depending of course on the engineer who'd have to sign it off)

Not exactly the most expensive project escort around if you chose to do it.

 
Only weighs 195kg too, which isn't too bad coming from the all-iron lump that is the more usual Pinto.
