Default mileage- pi swap or not?

I have about 101,000 on my Mustang and am wondering if doing the PI swap is worth it at this point. The car is in great shape but it will be daily driven for about 3 more years until I can let it sit and get another stang. Any suggestions or comments would help. Thanks!

I'm at about 118K and I'm doing a PI swap. Check your cranking compression first.

I will...I figured putting new parts under the hood couldn't hurt anyway. Are you getting new parts for the swap or looking around for used? The is a Mustang salvage close to me so I might try to find an 03 or 04 that had low miles. We'll see what I can find.

As long as your car is working good now it will work good after the swap...my neighbor did his at 110,000 and now is at almost 300,000 and doesn't burn any oil and daily drives it 50 miles each way to/from work. His is a perfect example of how reliablr these mod motors can be when taken care of.

I appreciate the input. I just didn't know if it was a good idea with my mileage and everything.
