<FONT color=orange size=3>Ok...I'm getting a 89' 5.0..for 200 bucks...the only thing is the back of it is ruined and the wheels are broke....would it be easier andcheaper to fix that 1 up..or to take that engine and tranny and put it in my 4 banger and just make the 5.0 a donor car??? i need the cheapest solution..i havent see the 5.0 yet so i'm not EXACTLY sure or the damage.<IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0">..but even if it is un fixable i'm getting undergroundlights..a crowl hood...tacameters(sp) an engine and tranny...i'd say that was pretty good! lol...thanks for n e one whos gives me advice...also..i need to kno how to get the stock stereo out! stupid thing lol</FONT> <IMG src=smileys/smiley7.gif border="0"></P>

 

swap is never cheap if im not mistaken, and even if so it aint easy. find a running decent shape 5.0 for the cheapest solution. they can be gotten under 2k. fyi its spelled cowl hood and tachometer<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

 

Buy another 5.0 and use the damaged one as a parts car

 

yep that's the way to go..you'll need a parts car of sell parts off of it to finance your next stang

 

agreed. unless u have a mechanic with all the right tools that will put it in for cheap, ur not gonna escape without some hefty bills. it also depends on weather u like a project or not. for some, the thought of a swap is a stupid one, but to others, its all in the restoration and customization.

 

Or learn how to do it yourself. There's nothing better than a girl who can rebuild her own Mustang!!!!! Grrrrrr!!!!!! Plus you'll appreciate your car more than you'll ever know!! <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

 

hahah..yeah id love to learn how to fix up my car...to say I did it lol ...i prolly could...if i got the messed up 1 i could sell the parts and get alot more outta it than i bought it for... could be a profit for my project 1..<IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0">
