ok so im gonna put the motor in VERY soon..probably this weekend...hopefully..if not no later than next weekend for sure!

i was thinking of purchasing some headers...i havent heard anything bad from the BBK Shorties...and was thinking of getting them...any other suggestions?

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]

so you had the engine rebuilt? did you have anything done to it, like porting, cams...?

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?

There is a guy on the boards that selling lt's with matching x pipe.. might want to check it out??

LT's = not smoggable..

how would i pass smog?
 
Posted by 9Roush8 (Member # 2472) on :
 
not smog legal but most hp... thats the reason I didnt go with them... i think bassani midlengths are not smoggable either??

jba, bbk, frpp... to name a few. I have heard good things from the bbk equal length shorty's.

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

JMO.

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?
