Do a search for 2v 4v and you'll find probably all you need.

Not a good idea saying "Search" anymore. The new upgrade has deleted ALOT of threads.

Yes you will need a Cobra harness, the GT harness doesn't have the same wiring the Cobra does.

Searching doesn't always yield good results either... don't know why...

the trans he has will bolt up, however putting in a heavier duty trans is always a good idea.

Thanks for the info guys,my car is 2000 GT the motor has 31000 miles on it,for pass 3 years I dint put more than 250 miles on the car almost i don't drive it at all because I am rely unhappy with performance of the car I think that 2v motor never going to make me happy, that is why I want to put better engine in the car and lather maybe bolt on a SC and make that mustang run as good as look.
What do you think is the best engine out off those three;
cobra
mack 1
aviator
and do you think is warted the trouble swapping the motor or not.
THANKS
