And this is where it starts. Maybe one of the only guys that starts off with a motor and don't even have the car it will go in yet. Soon though,very soon.

If the deal goes threw Im looking at a 98. I'll drive it for awhile and start on cosmetics while I get the rest of the parts I need for the swap. Not a whole lot to the swap in the 96 - 98 SN cars from what I have read.

thanks man, I need some opinions though... I also have a 03 cobra IRS as well so im trying to decide if i want to go drag with the 4R70W automatic and a 8.8 rear or go road course with a 6 speed and the IRS. Either one would be a beast but of two separate worlds.
Who says you got to do either? Have you seen the pimp rides around this forum?
Youre off to a good start !
He's kind of right, drag racing and road racing setups are diametrically opposed - he points this out with his transmission dilemma. Auto would be better for drag, terrible for road racing and vice versa. If he wants to do either somewhat seriously, he'd have to pick road racing or drag.

Set it up for road racing. The end. The IRS would make it more drivable on the street, as well. The six speed will be more fun than the automatic. And you can find 90 mile road courses (silver state classic)... which is equivalent to 720 eighth mile drags. Keep us posted on your progress.

Ah, allow me to elaborate. I will only be go in the general direction of either drag or road race. This will be my daily.

I agree, I've wanted to do a build in the road racing direction for awhile now which is why I got the IRS. I love the look of them with the splitters, toe hooks, defusers and side pipes. Im def a manual tranny guy, in the words of a good friend "I like to tell that thing when to shift".I plan to get this car and work on some much needed cosmetics and get it to a dependable daily status first. Drive it for awhile until I get the ford racing harness and computer for the coyote, the oil pan and headers for the swap. Then once I have everything I will swap to the coyote, run the auto and 8.8 until I can save up to get a 6 speed and everything i need to swap to the IRS. Then go from there with tweaking the details such as getting a tubular kmember, bigger brakes and other suspension mods for a nice daily/autoX car. Maybe go to the nearest track and hurt a few Z/28 guy's feelings.

You heard me thinking man! May not be top pick in a drag setup but I have seen several 9 and 10 second IRS cars.

I'm pretty sure that Maximum Motorsports has a package for the IRS that is specifically designed to eliminate any and all woes that people would use to argue against the IRS in a drag racing set up. A car designed for the twists and turns can still go straight just fine. But it's not always the case when it's the other way around. Plus, as a car that will also see street use, the IRS will be better any day of the week, always. Now, did I hear you say side exhaust? Six speed coyote swap, with longtubes leading to side exit exhaust... yes, please! And an IRS swap? You will have one badass mustang when this is finished, sir.

Thank you sir. I will definitely look into that. I was also going to mention that a set of 47lb GT500 injectors, so a tid bit of boost will be in the blue prints somewhere. I have a p1 procharger setting on the shelf but it is a carb set up so I would need to purchase all the necessary piping, intercooler, pulley, bracket, etc. etc... And I kinda told my brother he could buy it of me to put on his 66 f100 with a carbed 460 big block. So whether I go turbo or charger Im not sure but It should definitely be intense.

Not real sure what they were thinking with those tail lights and those raggedy tips.
