fix the mustang and make it your daily driver and make the SS your weekend ride that's what i'd do anyway. you guys can flame me all you want but i wont have a problem having a mustang whether its a v6 or v8

dude, a car is a car ... if it saves miles on the monte, drive the mustang like you stole it ... fix the head gasket, hell even swap out for the same motor if its completely ****, youll still be ahead money wise and the best part is, ding ding ding ... you already have a running car so this is your project/ beater to get working in the winter
anyone who has a devout and hateful allegiance to one of the big 3 car brands over the other 2 is retarded ... liking 2 of the 3 is ok though ...
i myself prefer fords, and would trade the monte in a heartbeat for a 2004 mercury marauder in dark toreador red with less than 20,000 miles

Once my trans is fixed (the week after christmas) im gonna look for a beater to go back and forth to work and have my SS as a weekend car, also to keep the mileage down. im already at 60k
My beater is a '96 Crown Victoria. Not much of a bad weather car though. At 106k miles it's holding up nicely.

Oh that long 2 door that looks sort of like a Ford Taurus. I looked it up and yeah its that 3.8 v6. it should work. I believe it puts out more HP than those 95-04 Mustang GT's if im not mistaken.
As long as it's the old pushrod 3.8, then the blower ought to fit. Thing is, there's a lot better ways to making 210 HP than strapping an antiquated supercharger to an old motor.
