Default Flushing the stang.

It's in the shop right now, but when it gets out i want to flush almost everything i can out of it that will make it breathe easier and drive better, sludge in the gears. ect ect. What are some other things that could be flushed out and cleaned? And how much would it cost?

Yes, its possible to have your block flushed. Most oil change people can do it.... they charge 99.99 here. It would basically cost the price of fluids.

Yeah i want to flush out anything and everything i could, not simple stuff like transmission fluid and all of that, that i can do myself. I meen stuff a shop would have to do. like flushing the block out, rear end. What are some other things a shop would have to do.

OR can i just go to a shop, and could they possibly have a "package" i could get that they clean everything out.

Indeed, so the biggest and most expensive thing to flush out is the Block? But i bet its well worth it, especially i have so much god damn stop leak in it.[:'(]
