Greetings everybody. Im new here and my mechanical experience is not very extensive. I have a nice 2000 gt that I love and it needs an engine swap. I feel like I know my car well enough though to work on it myself. I was close to selling it but I couldn't let a car like this slip out of my grasp especially if it meant a downgrade, i've liked mustangs for years as i'm sure most of us do. Instead I saved all my money for 4 months and bought a new rebuilt engine with ford performance heads from a company called Tri Star. Im attempting to do the swap myself and i'm going to be relying on the resources at my disposal.
Its a rebuilt version of the stock engine but with upgraded heads from ford. I kept it the same engine so I wouldn't have to account for any other differences.
I'm putting this out there to see if anyone has any experience or advice for me up front before I start. Im wondering about parts of this job that may be more prone to hiccups or complications and also what tools yall could recommend besides the cherry picker.(Probably asking friends to borrow tools or I'll go rent/buy) Any comments will be helpful, thanks for your time.
