    Just out of curiosity, about how fast do you want your top speed to be?

    Make a v6 go faster?

    well that all depends on your current setup. if you want a faster "top end" speed, you would want a rear end ratio of something like 3.08 but the key to that is your engine power band needs to be able to rev high enough to carry over to your next gear without it "feeling" slugish such as...

    Want a V8

    I am actually the crazy one that is going to drop the 429/460 SCJ in my pony :D :nice: :flag: in about 2 or 3 years from now (saving up the money and carefully planning the components as of now) Though my original project was going to consist of a Boss 429 :hail2: but i didn't realize how...

    Want a V8

    I agree with you '66. When built right, some V8's don't even need a forced induction application to rival other technologies. but when using power adders, they really expose the V8 for the power they can have. One reason why I suggested a S/C'd 3.8L is to make the statement to the "import...

    Want a V8

    Ernad, you mean't 'never go straight inline 6' didn't ya! :D worked v6, don't get rid of your V6 just b/c of 1 incident. I agree with the others, if you can, keep your V6 and buy another stang with a V8. Gas prices are keeping me from my V8 as of now. from what i've read an SRT...

    Why the mustang?

    Coming from a chevy fan, I made this choice in Feb. i was looking at camaros and mustangs. I needed a daily driver until I could mod the living crap out of it. i was originally going to get a camaro. but i found an awesome stang for LESS than what I could have got a camaro for and with more...

    Do you like my bum?

    Yeah i do like the taillights, I like that color scheme you have with yellow and black trim going on. i've always liked yellow and black on stangs. The chain plate is ok, not knock'n it. I think a different design of plate would look awesome though but keep it black. Keep it coming! :nice:

    Quick, whiny question..

    I don't have much knowledge about that, but is that why your wanting the heads and intake for your engine? So you might "like" it better? B/c if you hate your engine, you may need more than that. just a thought though. . .

    yeah i've got a sleeper. it sleeps all night and then i wake it up to take my butt to work the next morning :D ! nah! come to think of it, I thought about going the sleeper aproach, though i doubt it. I'll need a high rise hood and it'll be very loud. I'll just tell people that i tore the...

    engine swap 3.8 to 4.6

    missionx96x, I dunno if this will help out any :shrug: , but to give you a ROUGH ESTIMATE! I'm swapping mine out later on but i'm more than likely going with the big block route. My project is budgeted for about $10k plus and extra $2k for the "oooh i didn't know i had to get that part"...
