    Lets say i'd buy a '94 or '95 GT - car runs good stock everything as is - than I buy the same engine but in good condition, one that I can rip apart and build back up until its fully built and able to go in the car.

I plan on starting with the meat and potatoes and give the car a new foundation basically. I am mostly intrested in the engine and transmission and what will fit/what will blow/what...
