Default Just bought my mustang

hey, i just bought my second mustang today (well, yesterday, friday). im pretty sure i got a good deal. just wanted to see what you guys thought. 1994 V6 with a 289 engine. body has 117k miles, seller said engine has less than 1k miles. the bad: no shiftknob (easily replaced), broken vent (easily replaced) no backseat, and 2 scratches nothing too major. the engine on this car is still pullin strong. any thoughts, opinions, comnments or questions? oh, and its dark green.

get the heads checked.

In fact, take it to the dealer and make sure the recalls are up to date.

Get the documentation on the engine.

and pick up some underdrivers . ..

a 289?

Once you swap angines like that, it's a custom situation - I couldn't diagnose anything, without looking at it physically.

is it carbed? Why a 289, when a 5.0L would be a better engine, all around?
