for any of those die hard stangs that have a PI swap would you please post how much the whole cost you? any problems you encountered? how long the install took, and if you did it? thanks-i want to do it to mine but its my daily driver so i dont want to encounter unexpected costs nor problems when i start the project-THANKS

Mine cost me about 1400 all together. Everything i needed cost $1320. But, I installed the timing gears on the crank shaft backwards so eventually the chains broke from rubbing together. That bent two vavles. So the extra 80 is from me buying two new valves and a new head gasket for that side. But, after doing it the first time. I can wake up at 8 swap heads, and still have time to grab a bite to eat before cruiseing it around that nite. It just depends on how much you know about the car. The first time it took me 3 days.

how was it that expensive? i thought that you could get the heads for like 500 off ebay and then the intake for like 200? where did the add'tl costs come from? thanks

O, I bought a package from the a dealership. Thats where the extra cost came from. Everything was brand new and straight from ford.
