i got my first car 1996 v6 mustang about a year ago. since then i blew up the engine. typical women right. well works out for me because essex v6 is slow and boring and i want to put a 351/302 windsor small block in anyways. ive already done lots of reaserch on these swaps and the engine and what shit ill have to go throught to do this but i want to be super confident going in this so if anybody has tips, pointers, or just any info on what im going to run into/ what i might want to lookout for would be very helpful. also if anybody has done this on a 1996 v6 specifically just any specific parts i might need to get from donor cars or a list of things i need to replace would be great. also before anyone tells me to just buy the v8 i love my car and im super excited to drive it out of the garage with a sweet new set of lungs

Woman or man, we all blow up stuff pushing them to the limits.

Welcome aboard!

Maybe replace the v6 and later on add a turbo? A v8 is nice too

Yup, buy a parts car with a good motor/trans and do the swap.
You'll want the rearend, and other parts too.
