what color should i go with???

+1 on waiting untill you swap to paint... youll scratch it no mater what... i did when i swaped my engine.... might repaint mine again because of it... its fine because i did it myself, but you may not have the same skills, or connections... and paying someone to spray a car isnt cheap

and +1 on getting a v8 car already.... you dont come off as the type who knows alot about cars/ performance/ racing, you may want to drive something that makes more then 130 horsepower... a gt/ or cobra is a completely different animal, even in stock form, much harder to live with, horrible in bad weather/ winter, and before you go and twin turbo anything, you need to make sure you can handle it, aswell as actualy do it, or be able maintain it, or fix it when it breaks... because it WILL break.

my advice to you is, find a person with a gt, become friends, drive it... and if hell let you, realy put the pedle to the metle, and see if you can handle it... if you can, find a person with a car that can break 100 mph in the 1/4, try it out... i garantee youll be more then satisfied with a bolt on gt... any year. but lets face it, if you can only afford a v6, how do you expect to pull tens of thousands of dollors out of your nose to do a v8 swap, and paint job?

hell, i had 3 v6 mustangs, with the intent to v8 swap every one, i actualy got a 4.6 to build for the last one, ended up buying a gt, parked the v6 then sold for parts for the gt.. then ended up using parts from that engine on my gt...

if you search and haggle, you could sell your car for like 3k, (what i got for all of mine) and ive seen new edge gts for 3500 obo, with very minor problems if anything... shit, i bought a 98 gt convertible for 1300 with a few cosmetic mods, just needed a pcv valve, and a compressor, i now daily drive it. and it actualy gets better mpg then my v6's did.
------ im going to stop typing now, i think this will sufice.

getting a t56 6 speed 8.8 rear end and the works...

yea and still is sadly =[ got this 351w sitting in this 96 f150 just begging me to rip it out and start building it to put it in my stang but its hard when your money tank is on E and i have never done the swap before so i would need some advice...would my origional monts work? what would i have to replace?

Was your car orginally a sixxer? I've never seen the three-post rear wing on GTs.

Honestly, you'd be better off to buy a V8 car to put in a 351W. Your drivetrain will not handle the abuse of a big V8.

i freaking love you man !!!! i just creamed my pants on how sexy that looked...

this is what it would look like black with antherecetite or however its spelled rims

yes you are right in some areas but i can assure you that i can handle it. i used to race almost every weekend a year ago with high 9 second cars. i also drove an 03 pontiac gto but it got stollen and not having full coverage insurance did not help either...i know how to build a motor and mainttain turbos and what not because my dad has a shop here in florida down in the dade city groveland area and i was around plenty of turboed cars. ive just never done anything like what im doing now. ( 351w twin turbo). my plans for right now is to get the motor in the car and make it run mostly stock since they are stron engines as it is....then from there the upgrades will begin. i understand where you are coming from with painting the car with the motor out and i have done it before and it is a lot harder to get the motor in the car once it is painted because of the constant threat of scratching up the finished product. is anything ill just throw the motor in, mask off everything i can get masked off, and paint it. i painted my car the first time (orange that you see) bcask when i was like 15 or so. id mutch rather have a pro paint it tho because at least it will come with a warranty. thank you for your opinion tho it did help

Orange NO STRIPES

+1

If anything two tone black pillars and roof. I did my first SN like this red and black and it looked nice.

 

[george143]

ive seen two toned sn94's and tbh i dont like it too much =/ it would look good on a slamed 240 sx or any other car but nah not mine.

 

[330CubeGt]

Its not two tone to me idk i guess it is but im not a fan of two tone to me thats when your paint from the body like up...

This is how my first SN95 Looked i went from white to Red/Black.

 

[george143]

it looks really good bro but meh...its not my style to each there own i guess =] great pics and great looking stang

 

[bsn95w]

no such thing as an 03 gto, and not exactly sure what an sn94 is...

 

[Bianner]

haha no problem and the color is metallic black on my old gt

i freaking love you man !!!! i just creamed my pants on how sexy that looked...

this is what it would look like black with antherecetite or however its spelled rims

 

[george143]

sorry for the typo lol ...04 gto and i was going to type sn95 but hit 4 instead =/

no such thing as an 03 gto, and not exactly sure what an sn94 is...

 

[330CubeGt]

yea funny thing was that we were painting it and after we laid the red i decided to try the black on top to make it different, Im not a fan of it now but when i was 16 i thought it was the sweetest car in town lmao.

Either way you go good luck with it, just make sure you do it right so it looks clean!

You're started with a truck based 351W right? You might as well start building the motor outside of the car rather then swap it in only to pull it again and again.

 

[george143]

yea i was thinking about just leaving the motor out until its 100% done to my dream motor but then i thought to my self...im gonna have this motor on an engine stand more a year or more..so i might as well enjoy a slightly modded 351w and add small parts here and there and when it comes time to put some major stuff in ill pull it out get it all done then re-install it. but we will see what happens lol...the motor is still in the truck

what percent tint is that?

and stop hating on the different color engine bays!!! Mine is car was repainted before i bought it so.. it can stay that way.. its not a show car and its not as big of a difference as you posted lol.. orange to laser red.. so it doesnt look horrible
