I have acutely owned it for about 2 years but juse pulled it into the garage to start working on it. Here is what I know so far. Car came with a v6 from the factory but someone did a 5.0 swap at some point. The motor will fire but then dies after about a second. If I pull off the mass air sensor it will run but extremely rich. I did a compression test and and all tubes checked out with 100 plus pounds (not a spring chicken but should run) while doing the test when I pulled the plug from cyl #4 it was completely clean as if it  has never fired. It was just wet with gasoline??? I layed all the plugs out in firing order and my son cranked the engine and confirmed it IS sparking. I wandered if it still had the v6 computer or somthing but it is T4m0 which to my understanding is from a "sn95 5.0 gt 5 speed convertible". I am not sure what the short block is out of cause I can't find block casting number on it yet. (Nothing on the flat spot on the back top of block). One more major point to make is this has turned into one of those good old father/son projects. My son will be 14 this year and is recently interested in cars and is excited to get it running he thinks he wants to build a road course car but the jury is still out. ( I'm just glad he's finally becoming a man and less into video games over it lol) any help on short block identification and general tuning at this point will be a help thanks</blockquote>
