This might put you back a good bit but if you have enough money You should probably go with a stronger transmissions.



Are you auto or manual?

MMR would definitely be a good place that is where I got my forged short block from.

If I was you I would not spend 10K into 1996 GT. Personally I would sell your GT for maybe 3,000 take the 10K and go buy a used MACH 1. It would be a much newer platform to start with plus it is a 4v. Then you could save up for a used blower.

^ That is what I was thinking. Why put $10k into a 13 year old car when you could get a newer GT and add nitrous to get close to if not 400hp. It just seems like a lot of work to do for your car just to get 400hp when you can do it with a newer car and a blower/nitrous. Just my .02 worth.
