fred-fred said:I would get a donor car for about a 1,000.00
that would give you the parts to transform your car to a
V-8 Mustang. and you already have some good parts to go on it
The other 550.00 you could get a few more items that would
boost your horsepower.
You would not be up to the 450 marker.
Good Luck
