You may be right, but he can still shop around for for parts.

Besides, I can actually benefit from these parts when he decides to sell them for cheap after he chages his mind.

I was more curious than anything at this point tools

svopaul · 02-15-2005, 09:34 AM

I got dibs on the worn out tired DOHC 4.6 IF he goes this route....but it's more likely that Italian will get a bunch of pushrod parts

Scothew · 02-15-2005, 09:37 AM

Welp, if this route did happen, that worn out 4.6 would probably get parted out cause i could get decent money for the intake/heads/block/crank

Well I do have a complete SN95 5.0 HO engine here

Scothew · 02-15-2005, 04:58 PM

I'd need that and a few other key things (wiring harness, computer, t5 and k-member)

Wall96cobra · 02-16-2005, 12:43 PM

Dude you are ****ing crazy if you do that, if you want a 5.0 just sell your car and get a sn95. You really think it will be cheaper to go that way? Ask Lee how expensive it is, no matter which way you go it's gonna cost you.

Wall,

The way I look at it (and this is just my reasoning and thinking, no one has to agree or disagree, but i am sure someone will). The car has been wrecked hard before and whomever did the repairs (not through any insurance claims) did a crappy "quick fix" job. I am never going to get any decent amount of money out of the car in this condition. Its almost paid for so why not keep it and make it to where I would be happy as hell with it? I already love the style and interior so thats already got one aspect that I dont want to change.

The car isnt near its pristine state due to prior damage and repairs it has had. No reason to try to keep it that way in my eyes. Something i've always wanted to do since I was 16 was build a cool motor and put it in a mustang. I never said it was cheap or free. BUT however I can build a mid-high 300's N/A motor and convert the car over for cheaper than I can probably build a 340rwhp 4.6 motor.

Its sorta the same thing with you painting your car DSG. You had a gorgeous white paint job, but you really wanted your car that color. You could have easily gone and bought a GT/Cobra that came with DSG from the factory, but you knew what you wanted to do with your car and you did it. This is somewhat of the same thing.

Nothing is set in stone, nothing has been bought. I am just researching everything I possibly can on this to determine which cost is going to be best and which one is going to give me the most gains.
