Default What are my options???

Hello everyone. I have a manual 2002 Mustang GT and my mods include a 75MM throttle body, BBK CAI, Off road x pipe, Borla Stingers catback, Steeda short throw shifter, and an SCT x-cal 2. My engine has almost 96,000 miles on it so i am hesitant to do any major kind of forced induction. I dont know if i should buy a used engine off another wrecked mustang, or buy a used cobra engine, or are there other aftermarket engines that would be good value for money? Also if I were to get a different sized engine would i need to change anything else like the transmission or anything?

I appreciate the help.

have yours rebuilt, bored, new heads, pistons, cam... Or run the risk of buying a used motor and having issues.

96,000 miles isn't anywhere near bieng concerned about blowing the motor. have a compression check and if all is well get a blower.

MMR makes some pretty cheap, forged motors. all depends on how much money u got to toss around right now.

If you're thinking about swapping out the motor anyway, why not just do whatever you want to your current one & if it blows it blows
