K i recently finished my full restoration and i was wondering what i could expect the peformance to be. I wanna dyno the car soon but probly wont for a bit. I did an engine swap from a 93 (think it was a 93) gt ( i think it was a gt lol) 5.0 v8. u guys can ask me what i did to the stang but for now il just post up pics....







if u guys want to see more pics just ask..... thanks in advance!

things im wondering about.... HP/Torque...1/4 1/8 mile times.... etc etc

PS im in the process of getting a new tranny (automatic) cus mine slips at 4th.... so any tranny advice and any modding advice is greatly appreciated thanks!

So you want us to guess at what your car will run w/o knowing what's in it?[&:]

Is it all completely bone stock except for the cold air? How much does that car weigh? When you decide to get a new tranny don't get a rebuilt/stock AOD, go with a PA or a TCI and throw a looser torque converter in there, that's where I'd start.

Anywhere from 190 to 400hp, and it should run anywhere from 15 to 10 seconds in the quarter.

Well the 93 gt's came with 200 or 205 stock. which isn't really good at all. depending on how much you car weighs it may be ok. or it may suck. those engines have a hell of a lot of potential though
