Yes!!! Find your self a 99 or later 2V V8 modular motor. DOn't waste your time or money on the 6.

Never go off of low ball quotes. There are so many things you have to do to do a V8 swap. In all honesty, it will be some where around $5,000.00 and then you will have a V8 like every one else, Whoop'dee'do. But, if you put $5,000.00 into building your V6, holly shyt!!! You will have something differant and unique. You will hand V8's thier ***** in a sack!! There's just something about a V6 Mustang blow'n the doors off of a Corvete that's beautifull. <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

The moral of my reply, is if you have two cylinders more...
It doesn't mean your faster, just a cylinder *****.

Peace, I'm out<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0">

There is a lot that you can do with a v6 and they can be very fast, but in all honesty in the long run it will be cheaper and you'll benefit more from the v8.</P>


I have a 95 v6 that I'm selling and I have done alot of work to it and I am already up to about 12,000$, a lot of cash and now I have a 91 gt and it rocks, and i have invested about 7,000$ into her and she is faster than my v6 will ever be.</P>


But hey that's just my opinion, do what you like and just have fun with her.</P>
