96 gt mods.

Hey, im pretty new to mustangs, and new to this forum. I have a 1996 mustang gt 4.6L. It has 110,000 miles and is manual. Bone Stock btw. Some people say the first mod to do is rebuild the motor, or buy a crate motor, then a PI swap. I was wondering what you all's opinions are. Also, what about after that..

thanks.

110,000 is NOTHING if taken care of. PI swap is good start but can be expensive.

Gears
shifter
FLSFC
TB and plenum

yeah, i think im just gonna take it to my dads friend and have them check everything out, and if everythings good ill start the PI swap. Ok, heres my next question... I know a guy that only works on mustangs.. He told me he would charge 500 for parts and 500 for labor to the PI swap. So $1,000 for him to do it. And from what i know, thats for a complete PI swap. Intake, Heads, gaskets, everything. Is that a lot of money for that?

If the motor is in good shape it'll be fine without a rebuild. I would say PI swap it gears and subframes will make the car feel like a brand new stang
Oh yea

i would get pics... right now it looks like crap because the paint is chipping and peeling... headlights are all yellow ( btw does anyone know if i can clean those? or i just need new ones), and it is dirty lol

the headlights can be cleaned most of the yellow is going to be on the outside i bout a kit made by 3m from my local autoparts store it worked really well u couldnt even tell they had been yellow.
