You could build that motor to those exact specs for 1/2 that cost.

I really want to mod my 87 Mustang GT, but not sure if I should just wait until the engine goes and get this one:
Engine
I was thinking that if I mod it now, hopefully I can just take the parts off of the old engine and transfer them to this one (if I end up getting this one).
If this isn't a good engine, please let me know what would be a good one to get.

Oh I won't get this for my b-day.
I have a job, but see I have a wife and a little baby girl, they come first before the car -

WOW, wish I got that kind of money on my B-day. The easiest way to "find" money is a job.

Yeah you can build a motor for 1/2 the price on paper, but it's honestly much simpler to buy on in a box and bolt it in. especially if you don't have a decent garage to work out of.

How many miles are on your engine? If its low than sidewayz is right. you could get it moded yourself. All parts can be bought from FRPP.

To answer the question on suggestions of what to do...Your first step is to buy a book on how to build a motor, and teach yourself. When you're done learning...Get a buddy that knows how to build motors to help you.

Really, my plan once I got one of these was to drive it until the engine blew up and then drop a new one in.

If you want to drive it hard you'd probbaly want to rebuild. Id say either way is good. New engine or rebuild. I would rather have someone with knowledge build my engine or get it out of the box. Im not that knowledgible on how to build an engine. Hate to see valves bend or **** like that. And sidewayz why do you have a GTO. This is a stang forum. lol

RE: What should I do?
jw, why were you wanting the 5 lug conversion? about all it does is give you a wider selection of wheels. also if you dont already have some 5 lug wheels, you'll have to buy some, aka more money
