RE: 1996 - 1997 gt or 1999 - 2000 gt
if you get all the parts new and do it yourself your looking at about $1000, with labor prices from a shop i'd say like $1500 unless someone will actually share the knowledge if they have done that before. Its a rather simple swap to do yourself anyway though. But yeah i see more riced out SN95's than the newer SN95's, but i see a boatload more of the newer SN95 than the original ones where i live. I guess it matters where your located, i know some guy on here once said about how there was like 20 ppl in his area with newer ones, so it depends on where ya live.

You need to come here. I take a **** and see 189027 SN95 cars and a lot are riced out. You can drive this...
Or go SN and rock this bad boy

I say go for the '96-'98. New edges are all over the place. And if you do the PI swap, you'd suprise a lot of cars. People know they're dogs as it is. And you can get a '96 GT for less than $4,000 and the PI swap would cost between $600-$1,500.

Don't get me wrong there are a whole bunch of New Edges but I do see more SN95 cars. At least 95% of the time they're V6s. I hate when I see the dual exhaust and think GT and as soon as it takes off it sounds like complete *****....posers

i'm sure you meant $1500 total, but i'm just double checking because someone told me that it cost about $2300 for instal and all the parts needed for the piswap.
and btw there are way more new edge mustang in houston, as far as i have seen.
its probably like 4:1. but there are still a **** load of sn95s.

I'm doing a PI Swap and I paid $850 shipped for:
-Both heads with 25K on them, valve covers, every newOE gasket you need and some more, newhigh volume oil pump, new water pump, PI intake with polished aluminum crossover with $1K on it, and plenum.
All of those parts except for the oil pump, water pump, and gasketsare used. If you shop around, you can suprise yourself. I have been looking around for 2 months before I bought my stuff.

when you get the pi swap, you are getting the same stuff that is in a 99-04gt, correct????
well in that case it looks like i will be going with the 96-98, but i'm still not 100% sure, so if there is anything else i should know, please go ahead and let me know.
and again thanks for all the facts and opinions yall were a lot of help.

one thing you wanna do with the PI swap, make sure you get 01 and up heads/intake, the 99/00 motors were windsor motors, rather than the romeo motors, the romeo motors were continued starting 01 so make sure you get 01 heads/intake because the 99/00 heads/intake will cause more problems to install. but yeah $1500 for PI stuff and labor id estimate.

I vote finding the cheapest lowest mileage 96-98 you can find. Insurnace is less, you'll probably end up saving a bit of money in the long run, and it SHOULD be a more informative experiance than just buying a 99+ GT...
good luck
*i'll throw this out as well just for kicking around....save your money while youre going to college. being with about 200-250 a month and by time youre done with school... mmmm.... money!*
