Even roush said the short throw shifter they are trying is more for better hieght than throw, they said the new elec. tranny has a close pattern already, so once out I'm going to the taller stick again, I loved that Billit stick, oh yeah got my Red Woodpecker shift **** coming this week too LOL. here's the changes from '10 to '11 on both GT and V6 I have the 3.31 gears

To the guys with the donor thing I have found this mustang-


Guy wants so little for it I hate to say, Im waiting until next week to get things final. Not only is the engine untouched, the Interior is unscathed and the way I want it (the Air Bags didnt deploy, which is a little frightening)

He wants less than 2 grand for it, and he isnt alone. All these S197's that are totaled are going dirty cheap. I saw a 09 Shelby with the rear end smashed to the backs of the front seats with the front unharmed go for 5 grand. The guy got a 5.4 with the SC and all wiring in perfect shape for that. I creamed myself but I was like 30 minutes late

Great find, its a possibility for me if my engine runs in to trouble. I could cancel my extended warranty and get it all back to pay for the donor If only I had the room to do a proper swap....

I was just gonna say you should go with the 5.4 if your going after the most potential for HP. But 2 grand for a complete donor car, wow. Making me think.

Just looking around for places that get insurance write offs, if you are in Texas OH MY GOD you have tons, I dont know if the Mustangs are just more popular down there or if the insurance companies write them off easier...But damn! for every 10 mustangs I see 4 of them are from TX and 2 of them are from Tenn or atlanta

Tennessee right now is mostly water damage? and thats a total no go, but maybe if you were reworking the engine it wouldnt matter anyway... they go insanely cheap, to the point I would think you could possibly sell them for scrap and make a profit
