If you can find a 96-98 it would be cheap. Then all you would really need is a PI swap and those can be had for around a $1000 complete with heads, manifold, and all gaskets. Something to think about.

but i agree that the v8 is better.
As I said, the new 4.0 SOHC V-6 Mustangs must be a world better than the older V-6s. The SOHC can actually breathe up high...
Oh, and the Colognes are also truck motors. Care to laugh at it? I think it might be a better engine than the 3.0 Duratec.  Hopefully soon its true potential will be shown.

Haha... you guys are funny!!!... lol. I like the V-6... has more power than my 4 Cyl mystique ... You guys also forget that with my $$$ right now this is probably the best I can do. Plus I'm more of an aesthetic guy rather than a speed guy. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me!!!  Steve

maybe there some insurance issues not being mentioned here
v6 reasonable insurance rate
v8 insurance rate will add up to the cost of a new car in two years.
