Engine
My mustang came with a 200 I6 strapped to a 3 speed manual...I have taken them both out..Now I have to decide to rebuild the engine and tranny and put them back in or look for another option? What do you guys think?

RE: Engine
we had a similar question not to long ago. It comes down to this, dont waste your time and money into converting it to a V8, for the amount of money it takes, you could buy a decently restored V8 mustang. My suggestion, rebuild the motor and tranny, and have fun with it. Opinions wil vary im sure, but trust me, its not worth the conversion, unless you never plan on selling, because u will loose money on it

That depends what you want the end result to be. If you just want a street car, that I6 can be built so it has lots of go fast power, and they are really tough engines. Go to this site a look around. http://www.fordsix.com/

Yeah, whenever we accept a mod job, we pretty much have to stay on top of things. Plus I like to chat about old Mustangs. And, there isn't a dang thing on TV that I want to watch anyway, except NFL football. However, over here on the island, we only get the Armed Forces Network channels, and they only have one game on each week, and they come on late at night because we are 5 hours ahead of the the east coast. So, my VCR gets a work-out.

Back to the topic. The 200 I6 was rated the best most reliable engine Ford ever made by consumer reports. It had the least amount of problems. I am not sure about cost, but a four speed would make life a lot nicer and less wear on the engine.
