So... I'm new to forums in general and first time stang owner and just need advice... I just bought my 98 Gt on Saturday after searching for the right one for about the last 4 years... It's got about 130k to 170k on car (broken speedo) according to the guy that put it together, and 23k on a motor out of a 05-06 Crown Vic... Haven't gotten the paperwork on the car yet and the guy was pretty busy when I talked to him so I'm supposed to be bringing it to him next week so he can do some minor fixes to the car... But I bought a mustang because you can find parts all over the place and I think they are perfect for a guy that doesn't make too much money for a sweet toy... But my main concern is am I gonna have problems modding this Crown Vic motor and is it going to be expensive? What kinds of mustang parts will I be able to put on there? I'm just worried that I may have gotten screwed out of what it was that I was looking for... I did do quite a bit of research and it does seem like the motor in there is way better than the stock one... I do understand that it's a modular engine and its practically identical but what kinds of things are interchangeable and how should I go about hunting down parts... I'm sure this has been posted somewhere and I have seen things about Crown Vic swaps but never this many years apart... Please help! Should I be terrified as I am or should I be hella happy!? Thanks guys! ANY advice of any kind
