Yea i have had the car for 2 months and has had some miles put on it when i first got it the oil hadnt been changed in forever and was 1.5 quarts low but at the same time i changed the day after i got it and has not come a drop off full does not leak or smoke it runs flawless the interior is a little dirty and the paint is average i would say but i think for $2700 i got a good deal. The shocks and springs alone are 1grand from eibach and it supposably has a brand new world class t5 recently put in before i got the car.

be careful with "rebuilt" stuff. one of my friends picked up an 03 MACH 1 in pretty damn good shape, with a "rebuilt" 3650 in it.

it wasnt, it was a T45 the chitty shop probably took out of something and threw in there.

a$$holes.

the transmission is supposed to be brand new and the motor may or may not be rebuit just runs amazing if it has 180000 miles on it. And is there anybody with a certain H/C/I swap they really like and how many hp they made from it

AFR 185 heads, custom hyd roller, TFS Track Heat manifold.

75mm MAF, 75mm TB, 30# injectors, 255lph in-tank, and a good tune.

and please, put some decent headers on the car, not BBK... spend the money for some Kooks, with a full exhaust behind it (X pipe into whatever cat back you want. i like the pypes violator set up).

Lifters, possibly pushrods, new gasket SET, head bolts(preferably ARP), etc. You also will want to upgrade at least the intake manifold too. It is the junky Thunderbird intake and flows very poorly!

I'd recommend a swap to a a9l lol. The guy I'm gonna have tune my car has a 302 with 185 heads gt40 intake and tfs2 cam and made 280whp tuned, switched to an a9l no tune and got 295, then tuned it and got 308. It's going to be my next upgrade.
