i had a 2001 gt 5speed. Literally, no problems and i had it until i put 170k miles on it. did a bunch of mods on it and it never left me stranded. try to find a lower mileage one, if possible. good luck and keep us updated.
Thanks fam! Yes, definitely getting gears put in. I was thinking 373s or 410s. I had 410s on the last one n I'm leaning more towards the 373s this time around.
yea the billets are pretty expensive. here are the mods:
Specs on motor:
Stock bore 302 out of a 91 gt w/ forged pistons.
Gt40 heads w/ new valve seals. And light port work. W/ arp head bolts
Trickflow stage 1 valve springs
Trickflow stage 1 cam
Scorpion 1.6 rr pedestal mount
Explorer...
SALUTE! they are fun cars. This is the second notch I've owned. Had to let the last one go bc I didn't have the finances. This time around I'm more stable financially.
