Thread: My old Mustang :( (story)

So I originally traded my Mustang for my GTP, granted I am extremely happy with my GTP, but I do tend to miss the sweet sound of the 4.6L V8 rumble. Every time you got on the throttle you could feel the car rock from side to side. I'm not sure if I ever mentioned it here but I thought I'd share what I did have before.
Main reason why I got rid of it was because it had worn valve seals so it burned oil quite a bit, it was also going to need a tranny overhaul soon and the tight space was just uncomfortable. Would I ever own another? Absolutely if I can manage to save up money for an 03' Cobra I'd do it in a heartbeat. So here's couple pics and videos from back when I had it.

The day I brought her home:

Video last week I had it (skip to around 2:30):

Yeah they do, that was something I had planned for it, unfortunately I didn't have the funds for the swap

Overrated by their owners, underrated by fomoco and chevy kids.

=O OMG dude that Cobra is nice!
I saw this one sitting in the back lot at a Ford dealership collecting dust .
I also had a 88' GT and a 89' GT as well..

wow that 99-01 is hot.

my dad has that same sprinkler. lol

gratuitous underhood pic

Wish I had one of those.

When the majority of use were previous owners of a Ford :P. This is an off topic thread, therefore Ford goes here

This is the "Off-Topic" forum. There's nothing wrong w/ discussing a Ford, or any other maker here that I can see. Mustang or not that setup is sweet.
Just because its not a GM (or GP) doesn't mean its sh*t. Last I checked some of the most long tenured members here drive something completely different from a GP. If that's the case then we should be asking "When the **** did this turn into a Subaru forum", lol...

silversleigh- You could always bolt on the PI equip. to the NPI heads and get better compression. NPI w/ PI swap is common which I'm sure you're familiar with. Probably end up doing that with my 95 T-Bird until it blows up or I get tired of the valve seals leaking. Then it's 02 Explorer motor swap time.

Poke- Is that a Kenne Bell on that one?

It's a whipple actually.
Made 582/532 @17lbs.

I had a feeling it was either that or the Bell. I know that Whipple is plenty capable on a Mustang. Guy on TCCoA has an 04 Cobra w/ a whipple putting down 810/715. I hate being broke, lol..
