Well, I have a paper due tomorrow so here I am on Stangnet procrastinating, and I got to thinking about future mods. The day is coming when I buy the stang off my wife's lease (she wants a new jetta, so I finally get a Stang of my own, good bye MINIVAN 
)But the stang is a 2000 and she has really kicked the odometers ass. Gonna be 100000 + by the time i get it, and by 150000 (probably by this time next year) the motor will have kicked the bucket. Anyways, I plan on having this thing till the cows come home, and I want a good weekend driver (and whenever its nice, but with ohio weather you never know) and be able to drive the 80 miles to the track and back with no problems. I also know I wanna stick with a modular motor. I guess my question is this, should I get a 5.0 (stroked 4.6) forged longblock from dss racing, buy a 5.4L navigator motor from ford racing, or buy ford racing's 2000 cobra motor assembly (motor, transmission, everything) for 5900 bucks? Supercharger is planned as well, but will come later for sure, no matter what i do. What sounds like the better deal to everybody?

it comes complete down to the h-pipe+ the T-56 tranny, and all wiring harness and ECU stuff!!
but alas...oh well, we cant have everything. But do you think i would be happy with the gains from the cobra motor? Ive really got the bug since ive started, and hanging out with some big boys ( i married into a racing family,and they have been racing for years, we go to the track all the time but my wife wont let me take the stang out till my name is on the title. They all have fox bodies putting out some crazy numbers and all juice, including my father in law that is building a 427 65 (64? i always forget) that is coller than hell and will be close to 800 hp before the juice) has really got me into it. I wanna work with what ive got though, they keep telling me to buy an old fox body and mod it. however i have to buy this, or the turn over on mileage would kill us, plus this car is nice as hell!I just want something that I can take out and put down some good numbers at the track and keep up with a ws6 (first "race" I ever experienced in a real car was with one of those...wiped the floor with me. I didnt know anything about cars at the time...god have i learned alot in 3 years!!!) Oh, and if i seem like im babbling im sorry, it feels like ive been typing forever!!! im typing this damn paper while im searching around on here...
