well a 94-98 gt only has 215hp and a 99-04 gt has 285hp and are around 10k. thats why im just doing it as a build becuase im thinking of going to school for mechanical engineering so this is a test to myself.

you can find an 8.8 cheap enough in a junkyard or at the mustang farm they have pretty much everything you would need for pretty cheap i know thats what i had to do on my last car i see you live in new york the mustang farm is in mass so it would be a road trip but hey thats half the fun.

does anyone know what the width is of the rear? i was told by a friend they thought something like from 87-95 or maybe 96 or will the 95 gt rear fit the 95 v6 mounts with no prob? also do i only need new engine mounts? or a k member? and does anyone know suspension wise like springs and shock and struts if i need to change anything? im thinking of going with steeda lowering springs that fit the v6 and gt, but i dont know if there is anything else.

You need a rear out of a 94-98. The fox body rear is narrower and doesn't have disk brakes. You will need new motor mounts. You can go with steeda springs but the V6 ones are fine for now.

i would sell the v6 car and buy a 94-95 gt or a fox for 5k or so, then you still would have a free motor for when the stock one goes out. plus all the fab and v8 accessories will be there already, but its your choice

ok so 94-98 gt rear, will that fit the v6 rear mounts? now would i need a new radiator(s) or fans going to a 5.0? This car right now is an automatic just so you guys know, i never mentioned it before. also will the drive shaft off the 6 fit between the t-5 and gt rear? i was also wondering if 18X10 wheels would fit in the front too i want to get those all around.

FORD TOUGH

Yes a94-98 gt rear will fit. The V6 did have a different radiator and fan. Since this car is automatic you may want to stay automatic.

is there any reason to stay automatic doing this build, i was told it was relativly easy to go standard.

FORD TOUGH

Going to a manual you need a clutch, flywheel, tranny, bellhousing, clutch fork, clutch cable, and clutch pedal.

ok i had the tranny and all that down except the clutch fork. I know automatics have there fluid go to the radiator to cool the fluidis that seperate radiator only for the tranny or does something else go to it to? would i need those two or just one? for the water and coolant.
