all show and no go is kind of irratating. plus you'll be running into a bunch of people who will wanna race you when you 've got the looks cause they'll think you're fast....

yea even cheaper if you have the engine core, not the complete assembly though just the block. http://www.discount-auto-parts-store.com/rebuilt_engines/ford-mustang-1992-engines---FOR-302RHOLB-1.html

Mk the xenon body kit is like the same thing as the GT body kit. I'm not tryin to make it look like a civic<IMG src=smileys/smiley3.gif border="0">, if I wanted to do that i could just keep the 4 banger.

skip the body kit. just slows you down.


Check your town for engine shops. sometimes the'll have motors built just sitting around. my friend found a 318 for his pickup sitting on an engine stand for under 1300. Good time to look is between swap meets when the small guys might be hunting for cash.
