    Having ideas for possible motor swap...opinions?

    shoot, i got my hopes up. I doubt you can get a 03 cobra motor assembly for what I have to spend (the install would be done myself, to save money, but still probably wont be enough. Proabably might as well by the cammer for that money, which i dont have!!!) but we can always dream... the 5.4...

    Longtube headers with o/r x and magnapacks...

    ive got access to a mig welder and some good experience, could you just cut some length off of the x pipe? or could some muffler shop make the approriate cuts/welds? and with the work done, would the welding screw up the exhaust flow (enough to make a difference?)

Also, I dont have access to a lift, so what would you guys...

    Importance/ benefits of subframe connectors?

    thanks for the input adrock! How clean are you talking?? And will I have to grind off any sounddeadener? I will have an experienced welder on hand to supervise, but I am trying to learn by doing all of my installs myself (have to learn sometime.)

    Importance/ benefits of subframe connectors?

    I just ordered a set of MM full length subframe connectors (not powdercoated) and I was curious, did I just waste my money? My mustang cracks and pops quite often, and from what I understand a stiffer chassis is ALWAYS better, and the unibody chassis is not very sturdy (from my understanding)...
