what are you going to do with the 200 gt?

 

sell it

 

well it depends, is you car paid off? because you could take the 5k or so and invest it in that one and make it a rocket, however, is it your dd? are you trying to just make the fastest car you can?

 

it will be a dd until i get 4banger(gas is a bitch) and then i will start dumping cash into it. but that noise problem scares me.

 

why dont you just build yours?!?


1997 mustang cobra 0-60 5.8
2000 mustang gt 0-60 5.8

 

because 4v are just so sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

I would jump all over that and just rebuild the heads. A 97 Cobra for $4900 with that low mileage is a good deal. Even if you had to replace valves, lifters, cams and cam springs you are looking at about $2000 including labor. I am doing that right now on my 96 GT. You may not even need all that once you take it apart and look at it. You also want to look at the piston heads to ensure they were not damage by the valves.It could just be a simple timing issue.

My two cents...

well i know i am at least going to take a look at it.

 

Thats your argument to keep his 2000? 0-60 times have got to be one of the stupidest stats car people worry about[8D]
I guess if your 12 there cool
And OP Im guess it's a timing adjuster not a lifter noise. Car sounds like a good deal
