I don't know that I would boost a 98 with that high of mileage because it doesn't have the revised ring lands. I say go for it...but have a 3L on an engine stand ready to be dropped in...

It currently has 116,xxx+ miles, and I checked the compression two weeks ago and this is what they read... #1---175psi #2---174psi #3---175psi #4---175psi #5---175psi #6---176psi 1999 Cougar V6 MTX SVT UIM/LIM/65mm TB, I/H/E, Fidanza/SPEC III/Torsen, Koni/GC's, 19" Icon wheels w/ Pirelli rubber, NX Wet Kit
