Default looking to buy 00 GT

Hey guys,
I may be getting another stang, but i am not very familar with the 4.6 2v engine. The car has 110k miles, never had a timingchain change. its the orignal owner, he has paper work and reciepts for all oil changes and maintaince etc. i am wondering when the timing chain should be changed on these motors, and anything i should check with the transmission, i know the t45 is weaker than the t3650. thoughts questions input would be awesome!

i dont think there is a recomended change interval, i have seen 4.6l's go to 300,000mi on the original chain with proper maintenance

If you get it, I'd go with full synthetic oil....

Yeah timing chains are not like belts. If your not having a problem with it then leave it alone.
