Thought you were going to sell the car so why spend extra money on it if your just getting rid of it??

If you are going to go with headers for you 00GT go with Bassani. Installing headers on a 99+ Mustang is a PITA and if your going to do it.. go with the best headers.

parents are being EXTREMELY gay about selling the car....dad told me to to fix this one up..
oh and the headers would be a walk in the park due to the fact that i would be putting them on PRIOR to the motor being dropped in ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

unfortunately..i didnt get the motor rebuilt..friend had a 2001 GT motor..he was gonna use it for his 98GT but decided not to...so he is selling it to me..
i would like to do porting to the heads..but i believe that is a lot of $$ and my budget right as of now...only lets me get some headers...and maybe one other thing...
anyone know a place that does porting for a good price?

Just get shorty's. It wouldn't be financially smart to get an illegal smog over such a small part/mild combo.

I liked my JBA's. The frpp's aren't smog legal either. I'd try and find some used titanium/ceramic JBA's, and get some stage 8 locks or split locks, etc. Your not gonna throw in a couple of cams while you're at it?
