RE: what do you guys think?
Well, as of right now I am leaning 50/50 on selling it vs. a V-8 swap. I look at some prices and determine whether it is worth it to swap or get my money back and buy another. aside from the engine being bad there is nothing else wrong with the car. brakes are newer, tires are good, body is solid and rot free, the only rot is in the driver's door, but thats a common fix. interior is clean and complete, just needs a new carpet, the old one is faded from sunlight. it is a really nice car and it is fun to drive (for the short amount of time I did drive it.)
hey, there is always another fox out there, maybe I'll even search for an S9-95...
I'll take a few weeks to decide and make up my mind as I juggle classes and fraternity events.

if the body is as nice as u say i would just swap the motor in there. i would do it as a carb to keep the cost down. and its sn95

I do like the car, I just dont know how much work putting a v-8 in that car will entail, or if the cost will outweigh the reason...I know the basics, but all the little details such as fuel lines, grounds, gauge connections and the other misc. details are what have me worried if I were to go that route..
I'll have to price the parts, look through the needed tools and see what I've got. In the end, it is still a car and there are tons of Mustangs for sale everyday so getting a similar one wont be that tough, I'd just get one that doesnt have that much wear and tear on the motor...
whats the average resale price on an SN95 and a foxthese days?Auto or manual doesnt matter, I can drive both

v8 thats what i did when the 3.8 took a crap in my 96, and the only thing i changed were springs.but i went carbed which is much easier then fuel injection. but if you wanted a fuel injected v8 in it you will have to get wire harnesses computer and all that good stuff. wouldnt be that bad just time consuming, and have to find a donner car.
