Congrats on your purchase! :thumb:
I did the PI intake and cams swap and seen some really nice gains
without doing the PI cylinder heads.

ok first off..... you would be on some heavy drugs not to do a 4v swap, logical is all this swap is.... i did it to my car and its a lot better power wise and everything, its basically a drop in swap.

my car use to be dark satin green also, it was nice but i want a different color so i primered it.

idk about you but i put a 97 4v in my car and put down 330 to the tires with bolt ons, that was without the gas
most 2v strain to get 300 rwhp

im putting a stand alone on the car now, and pulling motor out to build it.

330 is really good for a 4 valve. Maxing internals out is going to be the limiter for both motors. I love the rev of a 4 valve. But when money is involved I would just build my 2 valve.

well slick congrats on getting the stang... Thomas knows his stuff. By the way i was about to do the pi swap on my 98 gt but i'm going with a DOHC motor from a mark with the cobra intake hooked to my auto. Anyway, if you want to put the pi heads and cams on your car i got some good stuff for you. I have three really important pieces that i dont need for the 4v ... PI heads/Cams/ Head install kit from ford :) If you want to do the pi, hit me up :)

don't you need like a 7 inch cowl hood for that swap?

Or you could cut the hole in the hood.... which looks totaly bad ass to me. But not everyone. Anyway, i hope everything goes well for the swap then . good luck

thats 1 reason im wanting to do it, just to intimidate ppl see if they actually mess w/ me...lol...other than im doing it for the torquey sob factor

i could also get a cowl hood like what KB had on his mustang, i cant remember how tall it was tho
