I bought mine with 117k on it and almost identical as yours except i had 2.73's and electric w&l's. but i got mine for $2400 LOL. only thing that sucked is i had to replace my intake with the new aluminum crossover, but a 12pack, a buddy and about 3 hours and all was good.

mine passed emmissions and everything right from the get go. I added the mods in my sig except the NOS. havent installed it yet, kind of getting cold feet though.

Good luck with the build, i will definately keep watching to hopefully get some pointers. I will say this though. I have done all the bolt-ons and I am still not impressed with the power. I'm either looking at purchasing a used PI motor with less mileage (they are cheap, under $1k) or some type of F/I and ive probably spent $1000 in boltons so if you can find a deal on a vortech or something I will add +1 to getting a charger. otherwise have fun and "drive it like you stole it"

Nice man. I have a 1997 mustang and I am pretty sure I have the "248A" Gt package as well. I have 3.27s, crank windows and manual doors, did not have a cd player, all that jazz. My car is the same color as yours, it has 83k on it, and I bought it from Chester, MD area. I paid a little less than you did but it needs a front bumper some day. Congrats. I bought it with 82k on it in november, 07.
