Is this 98 Z worth it? I have a friend of a friend who is a 58yr old guy and has a 98 Z with 90,000 miles. 6 speed. A few minor bolt ons like cat back, short shifter, intake, and a few minor things. Car has a bad headgasket. Runs perfect. No miss firing or anything. When you drive it for a long distance, it gets a little hot. He is willing to sell it for $2,000 to me. I am very mech. inclined but I have most of my knowledge on mustang 4.6/5.4 engine. I havent gotten to involved besides basic stuff on LS1's. What is all involved in doing headgaskets? IM not worried about anything really except putting the rocker/lifters on and set to the correct spec. Can anyone give me a play by play on the head gasket swap? Any input would be great.
thanks guys
Kevin
