    Selling the ride, what's a fair price?

    :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :nice: :nice: :nice: That being said, check the paper and see what similar stangs are selling for in your area and calculate an average price. Then restore it to stock as much as possible, knock off 10% and you may sell it.

    Electric fan doesent work after motor swap!

    The solution is quite simple. You probably should have kept the 98 wire harness intact and just installed the 96 motor. There are some differences between the 96 and 98 cooling systems. The 98 has a better cooling system (higher CFM fan, bigger AC condensor, bigger radiator, improved fan...

    Xcalibrator change speedo for 96 GT

    Good points, all of them. However, I've had a white FRPP speedo gear for 3.55 gears for two years with no problems.

    Xcalibrator change speedo for 96 GT

    You don't always need a speedcal. A simple speedo gear change in the transmission will also work and it's much cheaper ($14.00 plastic gears vs $100+ speedcal). I've seen speedo gears for 3.55 to 4.10's.

    Persistant Startup Issues on 98 GT

    Change your fuel filter. Also check your fuel pump and fuel pressure.

    FR500 Steering Wheel

    The FR500 wheel will also fit all 94-98 Mustangs. I put one on my 96 GT.

    98 gt with pi heads

    Not really. For the money ($170) you cannot beat the stock, plastic PI intake from 2,500 to 5,500 rpm range. There are other intakes such as the Bullit and others but they cost several hundred dollars, and they usually only out-perform the PI intake significantly at 5,000+ rpm's.

    30lb inj. h.p. rating...?

    Do the math: 30 lb (injectors) X 8 (cylinders) X .85 (duty cycle)/.6 (Brake Specific Fuel Consumption; supercharged engine)= 340 HP You can easily support 340 FLYWHEEL HP. In theory, you can support up to 400 FWHP, if you remove the .85 duty cycle, but you'll be maxing out the injectors...

    should i buy a 96 4.6

    Make sure this guy is for real. I've heard of some people buying a car for cheap and getting arrested at the DMV for trying to register a stolen car. If everything is legit, go for it, but be prepared to dump some $$ into it. A new top and a used PI engine will wake it up nicely.

    Mac vs. Flowmaster

    :bang: I had the exact situation with MAC cat-back in my 96 GT. I could not handle the drone, my ears actually began to hurt. I took the cheapo route and had Magnaflows welded in. Buy the MAC, they're cheaper and if you don't like them just have some Flowmasters welded in. Best decision yet.

    HEAD SWAP

    Jack up the radiator cap and drive a Cobra under it. Seriously, you would go broke piecing together those heads. You would also need the harness and ECU and God knows what else.

    PI cam swap fix

    I'll bet you he installed the cam sensor on the driver's side timing cover.

    Good UCA's and LCA's for the money?

    I'm in the market for some upper and lower control arms since my 10 year old stockers are old and seem to make noise during hard cornering. Anyways I've seen the whole gamut of control arms from Steedas to Blue Oval Industries. I just don't feel like spending $400+ on this and I was wondering...

    Gear ratio change

    That math only works if the car is in a vacuum, i.e. no atmosphere. The reality is wind resistance which is a function of the square of the speed. That is what MBDiagMan was alluding to. It basically takes twice the energy to go 100 mph compared to 70 mph because of wind resistance. That is...

    Officially unemployed......

    That is better than staying at that job and being tormented by those witches. I too have worked in female-run offices and they SUCK!!! I'm surprised you didn't see it coming and quit earlier. They are so picky about anything you do or any perks you get-pure hell.

    Am I just too tall??

    I'm 5'8" and the Stang fits me like a glove. I don't see how really tall guys fit in these things. I would recommend seat extenders.

    Officially unemployed......

    Dude, how old are you? You should take this as an opportunity to get some training for a much better paying job in the future. Those low-paying jobs treat you like "doggy doo-doo" since you are easily replaced. They are basically poverty traps. Do the math: easy job + low skills = low wages...

    Gear ratio change

    For that cheap go for it! Anything is better than those 3.27's. The 3.55's are actually perfect with the stock NPI cams, IMHO, since the stock NPI engine redlines at 4500 rpm and it is slightly torquier at low rpm's than the PI engine. With 3.27's I would do 70 at 2100 rpm's, where now with...
