pimp that bitch

[96Stang]

i know i have to...i am more worried bout the engine first...lol..i need more power, anyone got a 5.0 enigne lying around..haha..i wish

[the mike]

I do. But it was pulled out because it developed a knock and low oil pressure. Your best bet is to save up, get good credit and a decent paying job, then sell/trade in the 6 cyl for a 5.0 or 4.6 fox body.
You are never going to see a decent return on your power by modding or swapping. Even if you put a 5.0 in that car, you still have to beef up the rear end and possibly the trans.
Look for a 92-93 5.0 LX. They can be had for some pretty low numbers and are fairly abundant. Even the auto trans cars can be fun(I had a 90 hatch, 5.0 AOD car).
Here are cars under $5000 within 100 miles of 19116

[the mike]

Sorry about the IM thing, I was out.
The 5.0 I have is just a shortblock. The place that did the work took all the parts off it to put on the motor that went in the car. There's no intake, oil pan, accessories, ECU, etc...
All that stuff would have to be sourced ouside as well, which is why I recommended just getting a 5.0 and getting rid of your 6 cyl. By the time you figure in all the stuff to get it running, you could have bought a V8 car. :wiggle:
Hope this helps..

i like the hunter green color, one of fords better picks of paint.


first thing i would do would be to loose them 6cyl wheels...never been a fan of them. good luck wit it dude

try corral.net and stangnet.com thousand of stang dudes on there willing to help

[crepete]

Not sure if your still lookin...But I do happen to have a 302 cobra jet just sitting outside my house right now. It would definitely need some work, as it has been sitting outside my house for years. I also have a 351C block if your interested. That would need to be completely cleaned up, as I found that in the woods and brought it home.

[96Stang]

crepete..what are you lookin for for them...i dont know if i am really tooo interested in anyting right now...cause i might have the chance to get a 5.0 foxbody soon...ill let you know later on

[crepete]

Which are you looking into, the 351 or the 302?

[slow5.0]

the k member is different in a 96. 95 was the last year of the 5.0, so im not sure what extent of modifications you would need to do in order to do a swap.

[teh DIRT]

umm yeah. 96stang is currently looking at buying a 5.0 so the swap is outa the question.

[slow5.0]

he could buy mine :thumbup:

[crepete]

Ok. Saw he was looking for an engine and was just trying to help....

[the mike]

It's cool, this just happened within the last day or so. :partyman:

[teh DIRT]

yeah he just hasnt gotten online to let you know cause hes working today.

[crepete]

Thats's cool. Putting the 302 in there would prolly be more work than it was worth anyway. If he could find a 4.6 out of a car wrecked from behind, it might be a better option, if he decides to go that route in the long run. If I had bought mine back from the insurance company, I would have sold him that engine.

[SilverTurboRidin]

No actually dropping a 5.0 in his car would be more less easy because of the past two years of that body style having that motor...you would just need to do the research. The reason dropping a 4.6 in there would be a pain in the ass is because of that being the first V8 motor for that body style. So just do the research on a 5.0 let alone the fact that it would be cheaper to build up anyhow

[crepete]

more less easy

hmm??
