umm. my dad cant fix it. where did that come from. any swap that i do weither its a 3sgte or another 5sfe would be done by my mechanic, (a profetional my dad has gone to since befer I was born) he would do all the work, and even get the engen (he has connection for getting all the parts) i dont have the skill or tools to do the swap myself, but i bet that I could do more then my dad, i would just be barrowing his money to pay for it (i exspect the cost to be about 3-6g's) but insurence covering 4g's is getting to be a reallity. i have done resurtch on swaps. and my parents seem to think that if i'm going to spend the money for a new engen i shoudl get the one i want, even if its more. so that down the line i dont go back and do it again for it. another note: i'm not to concerend about the milage anthing from 50-150 is ok, i plan on building it up anyway and will replace stock parts for performance over time.

Oh, I read your post wrong. In that case, I would buy an early 90's 5.0 mustang then. But thats just me.

5.0's are nothin but truble i hear. unless you overhall the whole motor.
(I dont want to be a VANILLA ICE look alike) I think it was a really bad idea to list posible cars, people keep talkin about it, it was just and idea. -------------------- |
