Wanted: Mustang

Actually if he's willing to put a little work into it he can make the 4.6 a pretty decent motor. I still have to find out what happened to mine as far as this flood but if it did flood I'd have an NPI motor for sale
LS motored cars are gay, plus a lot spendier than a rustang.The stock engines (Except for 03/04 cobras) can only handle 400RWHP safely before you have to worry about the toothpick rods and wet paper pistons starting to blow. If you get forged internals you have a motor good to 800+ HP...WELL more than anyone would really need unless they're making a track car.

the mod. motors suck dick....
If i wanted an oversized hunk of junk that i could barely get my head under the hood to work on........... then i would have one
stick to the earlier push rod motors or ls1... so you don't wanna kill a bitch every time you try working on it, and can afford to mod it
better yet.... stick a newer 3 valve motor in it and buy one of these sweet broken spark plug removal tools while you are at it:icon_puke_r:

-
Never was a fan of the mod motors in the stangs. That 3 valve spark plug is bull shit also. I'll stick with a 5.0 thank you. Tons of aftermarket out there and easy as hell to work on.

Find a cheap rolling shell? Then you can keep your car and build the stang? You don't need a motor anyway. Wouldn't even have to be a GT for the right price(especially if you plan on doing even basic suspension upgrade). The only difference is really badging and bumpers/wheels, which you would have a V6 looking Cobra powered vehicle. Just an idea I guess.The V6 cars have different seats, gauge cluster, body panels (depending on the year) wheels, smaller rear end, suspension bits, etc.

400 on a 2V if you have a perfect tune ~maybe~...

I personally am not a fan of the mod motors either but depending on what his intentions are to do with the car it can be a decent platform to go off of.

LOL you can keep it kelly!

I myself like the mod motor

All i see in that pic is an overgrown elephant that even with its huge size, lacks cubes....... and sweet OHC tech. that still doesn't do what GM OHV heads do
edit.... what is not to love about $1400 for a set of cams??

Super charge maybe, turbo, most power I think id ever make out of it would be 400hp, then maybe later on closer to 500hp. I want a DD (although ive already got one) but I want some power behind it....I dont want to have "just another mustang" ya know?If 4-500 is your goal you probably don't want a mod (4.6L non 03/04 cobra) motor then unless you'd be willing to put the money into forging the internals.

so a SN95 5.0 is my best bet?...if im gonna get a mustang, it has to be the one with the balls.It will more than likely be your best bet as far as responding to mods while still looking decent. I am not a fan of the older fox body mustangs 93 and older but they are easy as hell to mod and make quick.
Chris (CMK) has a sn95 with the 5.0 and I know he knows the cars like the back of his hand almost.

^^^FIXED^^
That is correct, 5.0L is easy to work on, and parts are dirt cheap, by far the better choice. Just look for rust

Are you looking for a auto or 5spd?
