I heard some stuff about Nitrous kits. Do those work?

Does nitrous work? Uh, yeah... I would go with an engine swap, it's the cheapest way to make some power and you will have a much better base with the 4v.

I don't have the tools(main issue), time, and knowledge on how to do an engine swap. And I like the sound of my 4.6. I looked up some vids of the Mark VIII engine, and I don't like the sound of it.....It just doesn't sound right

You probably listened to it in a Mark VIII. The Mark VIII has exhaust pipes that are about the size of a drinking straw and has mufflers from hell. It's a luxury car and that is why it's quiet. Look up Cobra exhaust since it's the exact same motor.

Ok I looked up a MarkVIII engine in a 96 mustang. It sounded better. But how much would it cost me to give the engine to a mechanic to put in? Because once again I don't have the required materials

You could probably sell your car and buy a 96-98 cobra for the price of having it installed by a mechanic. I'd say it's a good 15 hours labor doing it quickly...

(That includes the price of the gt and the motor swap, not just the swap)
