Hello!

I am kinda new to this scene so please bare with. As you can see I own a 2000 GT with about 128K miles. It still runs good, beating the newer body style GT's. I take care of it as much as possible, but can still get it when its time to race. But the high milage bothers me a little. What would make more sense to do, buy a new engine, stroke it w/ engine work, rebuild the engine, or buy another with less miles? Thanks for your help!

 

unless your family or friends owns a machine shop stroking it and balancing it can get costly..I would throw a low mileage cheap replacement engine and hold on to your old one and rebuild and stroke it when time and money come into play unless you have them both now...But if it aint broke why fix it. As long as you do the normal maintance to it, it should be fine.

 

Dude your fine. I have 143,000 miles on mine and I beat the pants off of it. Doesnt burn any oil at all or anything. When I had the heads off of it, the cylinder walls looked b-e-a-utiful, no carbon ring, no ridges looked fresh from factory. As long as you keep up with maintance you good to go. Think aboutpolice cars, they use basicly the same motor out of the mustangs and they beat the ***** off of them for like 300,000 miles and there still good.

 

Yeah its too soon to worry about anything yet.
