420,000 miles on it? is that a typo? if not, it is the most used mustang ive ever heard of!

Holy sh*T! 1999-2004 will work. And the yeah the tranny will bolt up to the engine.

Any complete 1994-2004 motor will fit. lol If you want a complete motor that will have your current hp output then use any of the 99-04 motors. They are all the same motor with minor things added or taken off that do not change how long they last or anything major.

that is right 420,000.00 miles .7000 miles between oil changes and i will lose 1/2 a quart. i have not even changed the belt or battery yet. under the hood untouched .like i said gota love this car
