Default A proper introduction

Posted in the wrong forum originally excuse my newbness. So here is the correct intro. Name is Ean im 22 I live in Maryland just outside of dc. I don't own a mustang never have. I'm from the euro tuner scene mainly with BMW's. However the cost to gain any hp from a bmw motor is excessive to put it lightly. So where could I get cheap, reliable power with plenty of available parts? 5.0 of course, so I took my 22y/o 325is removed the 2.5L straight 6 and dropped in a recently rebuild 5.0 that I got for $450. Added a World class T5 and it makes a pretty fun package to drive.

Current mods are just timing and a adjustable FPR. Saving for a top end kit and eventually a single mount rear turbo. Snapped one pic with the hood off which is my signature but I'll post more once i clean it up a little better. Just finished the swap after 3 months.
