The first car I ever bought was a 1983 Mustang GL (bought it in 1987) and I've had it every since. When I bought my second Mustang in 1991 I kept the '83 (I'm still not really sure why, but I did.) I always had the plan to paint this thing Jet Black and put a 5.0 in it. (its got a little 2.3 in it. Never could afford the insurance for a GT) Anyway, never had the Money or Time. Finally go some money set aside for it but I figure I'll never have the time so I'm just gonna pay to have the Big Stuff done for me. I've never done anything like this and don't really know were to start. Long story short I want to start out with the motor. Like I said I wanna replace the 2.3 with a 5.0 but don't want something out of a junk yard. Professionally rebuilt motor would be OK I think but don't know were to go. I had the Transmission rebuilt but figure I need something else to go with a new engine and I'm guessing a new rear end too. I would appreciate any advise you have for me. Moved a couple of states away and don't know any good "Car Guys" around here.
