So I just got this car Nov 3, 2012. Always wanted a mustang but last time I was looking for one I bought a Z28 instead. Put 5000$ in the motor/trans to only total it 3 weeks after I put the motor and trans back in. The motor and trans is in a S10 now and its running low 10s in the quarter. Anyways some info on my new car.
2002 Mustang originally a V6, but now has a 4.6 in it. Who ever did the swap I think did an amazing job. I got the car for book value of a V6 before financing charges. I bought the car from a dealer that had alot of mustangs. I sat the car beside a 2002 GT and compared everything under the hood. Everything was in the same place as the GT. Everything on the car works but the rear defrost. But everything else works! The trac control, alarm, auto down power windows, power seat, ICE cold a/c, Heat, Cruise, All of it works. The car drives amazingly and is really quick. I dont know alot that is done to it. I have not put it on a lift yet but it will be on one saturday. The car only had 8000 miles put on it the first 3 years the original owner had the car. It has an amazing car fax besides the V6 notes on it. The body has just over 80k and how many on the motor is unknown. I do know that the car is super clean, Ive never seen a car 10 years old that has been taken care of as well as this one. I dont know if the guy was trying to make a Bullitt clone or what. It has bullitt panels in the doors and says bullitt on the trunk lid. Heres a list of things I know or believe to be done.
Hid headlights
Hid Fog lights
Steeda Tri-Ax
BBK shorties no cats x-pipe and flowmasters of some kind. Its one of the nicest mustangs I have ever heard. I will try and get a good audio clip up this weekend. Its not too raspy like you hear alot. But it roars.
BBK CAI
UPR Upper plenum and I was told that the lower intake was aftermarket to but I am unsure
Throttle body spacer not sure if the throttle body is aftermarket or not.
3.73s Dallas Mustang speed cal.
Built T-45 Trans
Prothane Bushings on full suspension
Performance clutch, not sure what stage
Steeda adjustable clutch cable /w quadrant
Lowered WAY to damn much in the front and possibly to much in the rear
315/35/17 nitto drag radials on rear 245/35/17 michelins up front
Mach 1 chin spoiler
2002-2004 cobra rear spoiler
Rev limiter kicks in at like 6500-6700
I dont think there is a shut off on it. Ive had it over 125 (not on public roads) so a possible chip or tune???
Steeda C/C plates
Tokico gas shocks
eibach sportline springs
Slotted and drilled rotors all the way around.
Absolutely not sure what else. Ill know more soon. I will also post pics of the undercarriage and engine bay this weekend. Any questions just ask. Also finding the person who built this car would be nice as well.
Edit!
90mm MAF
Has the gas pedal mod
Mach 1 Grille Delete
Several misc billet parts on the interior
New reverse glow gauge face and AC face on the way
The throttle body has a ford stamp on it so Im assuming its not aftermarket.
Just did the IAC mod
Rims are staggered and they are light!!! I can pick up 1 rim and tire and hold it over my head with one hand..
Lots more that I found out that for some reason I can not remember at this second... Start writing the crap down I guess.

Same colorrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...............
But thanks guys. Im new to mustangs if you see something done wrong or something out of place please tell me. Also related issues with doing a V6-V8 swap!. Like I said. So far only things not working are the rear defrost and fog lamps. Having clearance issues on the right rear tire. But Im thinking bad springs after what I have heard on this site.
