I understand completely!

I bought this car for $800. Excellent interior, full options package (for a V6), good ragtop, Cobra body kit, frame straight, cosmetically nice, and suspension is stout. I figure with a weekend of parts collection, a weekend of wrenching, and a $500 motor, I get a running and somewhat unique convertible New Edge Mustang for under $1500.

If I ever get bored and start messing around with the 4.2 and rear end, i might even get the V6 to beat some stock GT's off the line!

I like saving money as much as the next guy, and I like power. I guess I really like value above all, so at the $1500 price point I was able to justify this V6 instead of a 99-01 GT in similar condition for ~$6000.

I really appreciate your responses and your insight. Thanks, and I'll be sure to document the swap.

Haha, that's where it starts. Then the next thing you know, you're looking at custom cast blocks because the stock block only handles 980 hp.
