here's my 96 25000 miles. love the 3.73's

I like the Bullit wheels. Been thinking about getting some for my car.

I looked at KBB and I looked at NADA and I looked in the dealer edition of the NADA book.

You may be right about the 3.73's, but I worry about gas milage with the current state of things. I've read the threads and I get 18-20 mpg with my modified 90 GT wiht 3.73's, but I'm hesitant to 3.73 the 4.6. I'm just not sure about what to expect with a 4.6 and 3.73's with everything almost totally stock. I don't plan on much mod's beyond wheels, tires and lowering. My convertible is my toy, this is my driver.

Bought an '01 GT recently (replaces my '65 fastback). Took it to car show 110 miles away from home last weekend and got a chance to measure highway mileage. At 25.5mpg did almost as well as my former '98 V6. I drive easy and this 'Stang is simply for cruising... FWIW was traveling 65-75mph for the trip. Can't tell you what gears etc. since its a new car for me and automatic. I won't win any races but I'm happy...

Hmmm...I don't see the headswap on your list of intended mods. WTF?

Anything is possible. That's beauty of the Mustang. Quiet honestly, I didn't realize it was so cheap. $1320 plus labor for a significant boost in power and the ability to make much more with simple bolt ons. That's a pretty decent bargain.

Let's see if you think it's cheap after you find out what the labor charge will be...

Hmmm...my Father owns a Ford Dealership soooo, I get dirt cheap labor anyway. Or my brothers best friend can do it since he has a Masters Degree in Internal Combustion Engine Theory and he has built probably a dozen serious engines including my brothers 418 Windsor, another guys 302 soon to be 347 (that he is also building), his own 400 Ponitac and 526 inch Cadillac and several SB Chevy's, among others. He knows his stuff.
