    SOLD Built 1996 Gt Convertible

    I am selling my 1996 GT convertible. I hate to sell it but I have a new project and time to let this one go. I have over $28,000 invested in the car. The car belonged to my Dad since 96 and I got it from him in 2008. It has never been wrecked or abused, and always garaged. Laser red with saddle...

    Finally Got Her Tuned!!!

    I got the motor broken in and went yesterday to get it tuned. She put down 481hp and 492tq on 10 psi. Probably could get a little more out of it, but I'll eventually get the 14lb 8 rib setup from Kenne Bell. Overall I'm really happy with the numbers and definitely faster than the old PI...

    Tk600 Transmission For 96 Gt

    I have the chance to get a good deal on a TK600 transmission, RAM clutch and billett flywheel from another Sn95. A friend of mine that owns an auto shop knows the guy that is looking to sell it.

    Finally Dyno Tuned after PI swap - 96 GT conv.

    Hey guys - After about a year since I did the swap, although I only drove the car 800 miles of the last year, I finally took my car to Prodyno here in SC to get it tuned. Great shop, and great experience. She put down 260hp and 307tq. I figured that wasn't too bad for a pi head swap and basic...

I am going to help him put new heads on it in a couple months when he gets back from basic training. I have done a few PI head and motor swaps into mustangs...

    Have parts for PI swap, should I check compression before install?

    Well, after 3 months of saving money, I finally purchased everything I need to do the PI swap. My car is a 96 with 108K on it. It has not been raced/driven hard at all, mostly highway miles. With the bump in compression, what precautions should I check to make sure there isn't anything I need to...

    A valuable lesson for people doing PI swap

    I planned to do a pi swap on my 96 gt two weeks ago, but ran into a BIG problem. I was given a free set of 02 PI heads a month ago. The motor they cam off had about 90K on it. Long story short, I had a buddy take the heads to a reputable machine shop for me, and when they were tested, there were...

    Anyone running MAC long tubes on 96-98 GT conv?

    I am looking to get MAC l/t headers for my 96 gt convertible. My question is if there is a l/t header that would clear the x-brace that the convertibles have. I read on other posts that some have left the brace off, but I would prefer not to do that. My understanding is that the MAC l/t's have...
