Hey, I've had my mustang for a while and I've gone around the general forums like StangForums and stuff like that, but I just came across this one and it looks very active! Decided I'd sign on.

Anyway, I got myself a 1998 Base Mustang as my first car. Yeah I know, a base, but its the 5spd with a Saleen S281 kit! (and a S351 Spoiler). She's a little rough around the edges but its my goal to slowly bring her back to glory and eventually put a 5.0 in there as well. Here are some picks for ya! (White car)

Car looks good!

Rough around the edges is like what most of us have

Welcome aboard!

Your car looks good! What kind of 5.0 are you going to swap, a lame old pushrod or a new fancy coyote?

Lame?? Don’t me come kick your arse mod boy!!!! [emoji1787]

Welcome!! Base just means you have a little extra to customize. We all start somewhere.

You have a great start with that car. Yep, wondering too, what motor?

One of the nicest looking six cylinders for sure!

Believe me I want a coyote, but an old 94-95 pushrod is so much easier to swap in, since it'll bolt up to the T50 trans with only a bellhousing and it's own K-member already fits!.

Right now it's the 3.8 only pushing around 150 hp, but it's.... peppy, to be nice lol.

Keep in mind the internals of your V6 T5 are not the same as the V8 T5. But yes it will bolt right on with a bellhousing swap.

And plan on swapping the 7.5" rear end out sometime.

Nice looking car and welcome from another newbie. Mine is pretty rough around the edges too but what the heck its a 21 year old car.

Nice! Welcome to the forum. You find the site via Google or a link somewhere?

8.8 rear end swap is already planned. Me and a friend with an 03 3.8 with a termi kit found one at a junkyard in amazing condition, but he had already bought a pro charger and customized his a lot more, so we decided he would get that rear end.

I actually was not aware the internals were different, thanks for mentioning that! Though I have researched it before, and the V6 T5 should still be good for up to 250hp safely.

Welcome to the site! That's a good looking car, glad to see you've got plans to build it up.
