and never posted again, since jan, haven't done any mods, mufflers,took off cats,hids, subs,pretty much it,aside from that, i did my research,not goin to use the 2v i have right now, instead im goin to buy a 4.6 dohc from a 97/98 mark viii and build it up,i read that the cougar and the mark viii use the same transmission,just not sure if i will mount(my original transmission with the mark viii motor),little by little my project will be done.
