don't do it. Never buy a mustang that has been modified unless it has aluminum heads.

Usually it is just some crap that people threw together from a junkyard.

Could be okay with it being fuel injected and a turbo kit to go with.( i quit reading after the heads) If it was carbed, i would say no for sure.
