No worries, I have had DSM's so I am used to spending money on cars. It will just be nice to spend them on mods rather than fixing the last thing that broke....

Be patient... and stay with the price you have set !

1999 Ford Mustang GT.

PI heads = easiest modifications....
2v = cheeper head build (over 3 or 4v) for a street/strip car.... (if you get that deep into the car)

my $0.02...

Looks pretty nice, and not a bad price.

i know, but i think he should go the other direction, thats all

a 302 would be a good starter car as well... but not my cup of tea.

I should be fine with whatever I end up with. I have had lots of build experience before, it has just been more of the import scene (dsm's) and offroad. First time playing with V8's though

 

[jiggysnitz]

I just want to make sure I end up buying a reliable car from a good guy.

Id be a little weary about why the engine was replaced at 70k +/- miles.

5.0's are a hell of a motor, and it should not have blown a piston unless it had a little help. I could be wrong though...

X2, i was just wondering what caused the old engine to come apart? hmm... something doesn't smell right.. I've seen 94-95
5.0s with 200K and occasional nitrous usage run smooth as hell, no strange noises, so for this one to have effed up a pistion at 70k,
makes me wonder...

 

[jiggysnitz]

The engine died at 120k, the new motor is out of a donor car with 50k on it. Under 100 miles since swap...

 

[jiggysnitz]

I found another couple that look interesting. If anyone wants to give them a look over for me I'll give you an air-highfive.

Ahh, that way you wrote it made it sound like the motor was replaced 50k ago...

 

[jiggysnitz]

Im going to look at the first car today (with the 50k miles engine) in about 20 mins!

[jiggysnitz]
