    looking to do a budget engine build

    Something to be said about this^^^ First off, I'd get a compression test on your current motor (pretty cheap) then go from there In the real world of rent and other bills and time...the more work you do, the cheaper it will be. Being a mechanic, you could pull your motor and swap in a explorer...

    LX needs a different rear spoiler

    Idea 1 would work if everything matches your body color...if it doesn't, you'll have to sand/prep/paint everything anyway. I'd keep what ya got, fill holes and repaint...then you won't have to replace a perfectly good hatch. Thats what I did as you can see I run a Saleen s351 wing and my GT...

    351 Guys What Transmission?

    The trans guys want to make money off of you...yeah the t56 is a killer tranny and you would love it with those 4:10 gears because 6 gear would still be a great highway gear. However, I make more than 500 to the wheels and my Tremec 3550 has lasted many years. Couple things to consider...

    Easiest way to get to 600whp?

    Well since you are familiar with it...why not a 03-04 cobra motor swap....then when you're finished you'll have a sweet termi motor with a 6 speed....

    GT-40 heads

    I agree with above...you can make those heads move some air with a little work. But old TW heads or RPM heads are pretty easy to come by and they will always be a little ahead of GT40's when it comes to flow....I'd grab to GT40's, but be on the look out for other heads for sale

    installing eibach prokit springs

    I would pick up some metal band ties...where you can tight/loose with a socket or phillips....they're much stronger than band ties...also, there are many different types of spring compressors at autozone etc...I tried 5 diff styles before finding the right one....but I also drop the lower arm too

    What Cam? Street car, bolt ons, NO heads,...

    All these guys have givin you good advice and I agree that if you are throwing a cam in, it would not be a bad idea to look for some cheap gt40 heads to throw on while you're doing the cam swap...ultimately its the best way to go (POWER WISE)....however, if you like the performance level you are...

    wide body kit

    Bad angle, but here's my wide body with 1.5" punched out front and rear. I only did it for the ability to run more rubber on the road back when I road raced the car with 285's at all four corners

    wide body kit

    This is the guy who did my car...his name is Doug at Autokraft in Lincoln, NE. He did this car right before doing mine. I believe he punched this car out 2 inches but also cut the roof and extended the factory spoiler....mine is punched 1.5 inches but its all factory ford metal!!!

    SCT 3 bank chip

    I run the SCT 3bank in my car (357 windsor) and I does everything I need. It holds my street tune, and my nitrous tune. I would NEVER rely on a mail order tune regardless of combo. My tuner does his thing, mustang could not run any better

    Knocking/Vibration through shifter

    I replaced my driveshaft with an aluminum FRPP shaft and it vibrated just like you have mentioned.....drove me bonkers for a few months. Replaced it with the factory shaft and my problems went away.

    Fox Bodies :)

    That SEEMS to be a pretty straight car. The fact that it is still sportin the turbines would lend me to believe that it is hopefully un-molested but that's just my take from the pics...you never know until you see it in person. I would take it home, do extensive inventory...
