Wow.... Dude... You really took things the wrong way. Ya know we are people of all kinds of backgrounds here in different parts of the country but we all get along and take eachothers advice if its good advice, we are being good guys here giving you good advice, advise with multiple answers but you are just taking everything the wrong way.

Just calm down, drink a little water and read slower, I know those teenage hormones can get at ya sometimes but you dont have to be rude to people here. Its best that you stopped posting right now as it is because so far you are still welcome to this forum, but one of the forum rules is not to create problems, flame, ramble, argue, curse excessivly, and whatnot. Amanda will take you off the forums if you keep being dissrespectfull.

MustangForums is a helpfull community of mustang enthusiests. Im just sorry that we didnt get through to you and left a bad impression on your side of things.

PS. take a look at my avitar pic. Nor Cal 232. My 95' Stang project started as a V6 mustang but because of how unreliable it is it has left me stranded. I spent $3380 on a complete 2003 Mach1 engine, I spent 1850 for the Livernois stroker kit, I spent $500 to have it installed, ballanced and blueprinted, 220 on ARP head and intake bolts and 250 on a hi-flow billitt oil pump. So far I have $6200 into the engine alone. I paid $3900 for the car, total I have $10,100 into my car.

I bought a 94' GT FULL rear out of pick-N-pull for $46 dollars (cheap cause I work there) but I am getting an Auburn Torsen diff with 4.11 gears. Thats $500 for the Torsen and $179 for the FRPP 4.11 gears. Then I am getting Weight Jacker Lower controll arms $245, tubular upper controll arms w/ spherical bushings $100 then I have to get Subframe connectors, camber plates for the lowering springs, Adjustable Tokico shocks, $700 dollar custome carbonfiber driveshaft (11lbs w/yokes) and not to mention my Hooker Super Comps for the engine which are $500 dollars for the pair, then the SLP loudmounth setup for $450 was it? I already have the catless BBK X-pipe that was a freebee.

Lets see and with all the mods that are going into the bottom end of that engine I need to make it breath more, the heads are perfect being 03/04 Cobra heads but the intake/throttle bodie suck being good for only about 400-450hp depending on tune which means I need a better flowing intake and I have been looking at the 04 Cobra Acufab which is something like $650 isnt it? But 1800cfm is worth it and the list goes on and on.

My point is that anything can be expensive if you like it enough and want it to do something badly enough. Your project isnt going to be any different. Not to mention that you will HAVE TO swap motors at some point or another because a 94-98 V6 will not last you more then 150K mi (mostly) and thats pushin.

Just take our advice or even find one with a bad engine so far, get it for about $800-1200 bux, do what I did and start having some serios fun.

anyways, im hella tired and I dont think I made much sense so I am going to grab some rest and read it in the mornin
