So I'm a high school student going into grade 12, in mechanics this year we're rebuilding engines, I bought a 89 mustang from my uncle which I plan to reuild this year, I have a budget of about $4000, the only problem is I don't know what to do with this opportunity, so I was wondering if anyone could share there experiences, of what they did or what they would do, and what it would cost. Thank you very much in advance I really need help.

PS: Im not so much worried about anything outside the motor, I'm planing on taking care of that down the road

Dude. 4k into a 302 will make one hell of an engine bro

http://www.americanmuscle.com/ is ageat place to look, as is 50resto.com

89 already has forged internals. How many miles on teh engine? GT or LX

not even, that'll barely get a decent h/c/i covered, and after that, your left with no budget for supporting mods

there...money spent. but you have no supporting mods, you'd need bigger fuel pump, bigger injectors and a tune or a tuning system like a moats quarter horse
