ok, i worded it wrong, the mustangs have a ~~~~ load of after market goodies and if i were to drop in a stang engine and went to the drags or shows and pop the hood how many people do you think would say to them selves why not just keep the stang, the reason i went with a t-bird is every body has stangs but how many birds do you see at a all event show? a lot of people already said, lyle you always had cool mustangs why in the hell did you buy a over weight under power chicken. dare to be different. my response is just wait... i have to do something to back this bird up, but keep it affordable. i also am a dodge boy and even had a vision of say (hemi) power. but again i need to keep it affordable, see i love my wife and would prefer to keep her, i am sure somebody understands. for you people that built the 3.8sc how much power was attained and how small did your bank account get? i would love to get atleast 380-425hp is this possible? and if so is it going to be reliable to drive/ race, i don't want a trailer queen.
