Turbo is what i was thinking as well. With a built motor and tranny. How are the transmissions and rear ends in these cars? Its an automatic now.

whos car is it?
Harvey's. He's contemplating on buying a Cammed Ws6 or Building his Mustang.

I vote pi swap, built motor and turbo...alternatively with 9k there is the option of going with a 4 valve motor, and getting that built and then going turbo.

also, when you swap P.I. heads onto a non P.I. motor it raises you compression quite a bit(i believe into the 10.1 zone if my memory serves me right), so adding a turbo needs to be done with caution if you want the stock pistons and rods to survive.

Good info. How much, "ball park figure" would it cost to rebuild the motor with forged internals with a good set of heads/cams and intake? Maybe even a stroker kit.
