Default New guy from middle Tennessee

Hi all, new guy here from middle Tennessee. I’ve been in the performance car world pretty much all of my adult life owning many Mustangs before buying a 2008 C6 Vette. As you all can imagine, I fell in love with LS power. Having 2 teenage daughters who always want to go everywhere with me, except work of course, my C6 just sat in the garage so it was time to go back to a Mustang.

The latest project and I think it will be my last because I’m getting up there in age is a 1994 Mustang GT. I have a nice amount of money to set back each week for mods so I have big dreams in my head. I’m starting with the interior, then moving to the exterior cosmetics, then brakes, suspension, wheels and tires and finally the power. I want to stick with a manual transmission for the fun factor and a naturally aspirated motor. I used a BTR stage 2 cam in the Vette and it was plenty of fun so I am honestly just looking to recreate that amount of power with something super reliable. I just don’t think it can be done with a Ford pushrod engine. After a supercharged stroked 97 Cobra and a 03 Terminator Cobra I am absolutely done with modular ford engines, I don’t care how good a coyote is. Anyway, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

Welcome! Perfect foundation for a swap. When I eventually build something to go really quick, I'm going to do an LS swapped Fox or SN-95. If you want to stick with a manual, I have the perfect transmission for sale. Stage 4 T-56 that can handle 700 to the wheels. I'm only selling because I'm eventually going to make over 1000 and I don't want to break it: https://ls1tech.com/forums/market/1978825
