Its a 98 Mustang GT with 61000 original miles. However the moron who owned it decided that the low mileage mill that powered it was not enough so he decided to throw in a DOHC mark 8 motor. Now i am not against that idea more power is always better but wait till the other motor is no good before you pull it out to replace it. So far the mark 8 motor is in but the wiring,tranny, and ecm need to be installed. I also just purchased a 98 cobra intake to throw on it. Gimme your input let me know what you think and give me some ideas on which way I should go with the project. Thanks for the info and have a nice day.

-Kris

Should be a fun project. Hopefully the wiring won't give you too much trouble, but it should make for a fun car when done. Good call on ditching the MK-VIII intake, it flows poorly.
