thewrongguy said:If you got a complete car then the computer and wiring isn't a issue, only things like motor mounts and exhaust. A non-HO 5L probably wouldn't break a 7.5", they make less power then the old pre-8.8" 5L's (1985?). Handling would be crappola, I've been in a 5L with 2.3 suspension, it'll go straight pretty quick, but turning left or right is really scary.
What year is your mustang, what kind of shape is it in, how mechanically inclined are you, 80 bucks can dissappear really quick in labour. And does 80 include gas costs, because if your budget is that small you might need to buy some stickers to make'er quicker.
One unpopular idea might be to sell your mustang and buy a chrysler 2.2 turbo/2.5 Turbo car, those are REALLY cheap to buy/work on. A Daytona IROC-Z (they bought IROC from Chevy, I'm not thinking of camaros!) can be bought pretty easily for less then a grand in private deals (shelby's a little more). They make 150hp, but 200ftlbs at 2000 rpm which isn't too bad for a 2700 pound car. And chrysler put 2.2T/2.5T in everything from cars to trucks to minivans, so parts are cheap and plentiful. I have a video of a 2.2T reliant doing a 10 second quarter mile which is pretty damn cool.
Just throwing out ideas, best of luck

Blech, that's so irritating. We talked about this in my womens studies class - it implies that women are only used when the men need them and then left in a garage or wherever else when they're finished. Get out of the 20th century!

Come on girl! I know many chicks that call their car's Male names or refer to them as Him.
My supercharged stang is called Britney (Spears) because she only accepts the finest parts, looks awesome, bitches a lot, etc...
HOWNDOG said:As irritating as it may be (like old ladies calling you hon. or sweety) You might be happier if you don't take everything they teach in "women's studies" too serious.

mr_woodster said:ive posted this before so ill do what i can from memory...the reasons cars are girls is becuase in many ways the are exactly the same: they cost alot of money to maintain, even if you have the money your not garunteed perferct working order, somedays they run cold-others they blow a head gasket, they are tempermental on occation, they have anniverarys, you can buy them gifts, they can let you down, or make you proud, they can be stolen, if you treat them right your more than likely to get it back in return. They look exstremely sweet after they get a bath, and still look sweet when they are a little dirty, they get old..but they will always be a classic, You always remember the good times and the bad times with them, no matter how much u work on them...your work is never finished, with enough tinkering they purr so nicely, without care they knock and make alot of noise until u do care...basicly you can go on for hours drawing comparisons....just accept what is enevitable and be flatterd that girls are lucky enough to be compared to cars....and my famous quote....(someday)
"though it cost more than a dozen flowers to fix my stang, atleast onces it done, your good for awhile"
hope you enjoyed ;o)
keep it real

What other reason is there for High flow heads, 3" exhaust pipes, comfortable interior and large intakes?
