Here is the problem. I bought my 99 SVT awhile ago, and bought it from a kid who put a keyless push start ignition on it, and when doing so he removed the ignition lock. My question is this..is a ignition lock easy to install. I have seen the locks for 60 bucks, and was wondering if there are any special tools needed for the install. Seems like it would be simple install, but was wondering if anyone has done this install before. Thanks

Thanks Tony! I think that I just need to install the lock, and not the ignition switch. From the directions it doesn't get much easier. Thanks, and I will let you know how it goes.
