somebody wanted to see the end result, well here it is. 95 3.8 to 94 5.0....the car was nasty teal, so it was painted white as you can see and oh yeah, the swap cost under $1200

A before and after pic would have been more convincing or a full front end pic. But being that I'm the trusting type, good yob mang. $1,200.00 is a GREAT price. [sm=smiley32.gif]

Ya, I already blew up the radiator shroud, LOL. But didn't see anything that would indicate GT or V6. HeHeHe, see, I'm a trusting kinda guy, LOL.

But in all seriousness, I would like to see the 7.5/8.8 swap because I may have to do it when I blow my 7.5 out. I'm realy hard on it and I'm putting 10.5" wheels on the rear so I figure it's just a matter of time.

once the tubular upper and lower control arms come in, we are going to do the swap...we just didnt want to use the crappy factory stamped pieces. ill make sure to take detailed pics during the swap. what kinda rims you have?

I haven't bought rims yet which is odd for me because I normaly have new rims on everything I buy with in a couple week. I've had this car since last October and I still can't decide. Mustangs are tricky to buy for because after market wheels can look like crap on a Mustang even if they look great in the showroom. I almost took the safe route and went with Cobra R's, but then I noticed everybody has them. I like the wheels on the Kenny Brown 3.8 Special, "Kermi" Stang. They are a 3 piece racing wheel and they look sweet, so I think I'm getting them. Now to decide on chrome or Polished, ugggg.

They look good. I like more of the 5 star patterns over the web/mesh look. Here is one I'm considering made by SSR. It's similar to the wheel on the K/B car.
