DSS 306 short block etc etc? (very long)
 
i will start by giving a bunch of info so you all understand my situation...i will start by saying my car is a '91 GT with about 91K on the motor. in late august i took out a loan from the bank for $3000,the lady i bought the car from knows me so she is leting my make $100 payments a month that way i have no interest...BUT..she wanted a $1500 downpayment upfront..and the smallest personal loan the bank would do was $3000. right after i took out the loan and got the car on a Saturday...went back to work monday and got fired! so the extra $1500 i had went to pay my bills while i was looken for a new job...ok now i will tell you the different options im thinken of that i cant deside on

first thing i was thinken of is once my loan is payed off take out another loan for $3000 and then save up about $900 or so and get the Power Package 2 from modernmustang.com

second one i was thinken of is pay the loan off and take out a loan for $3000 and get a DSS 306 short block (just wondering but if i got a 306 short block could i transfer most of the parts from my current motor to the 306 to make it work?)

third thing is just a big IF: IF i find my self a new job that pays more which im currently looken for with no luck yet,i could take out a loan for $6000 and get both #1 and #2(see my payments for my loan are $100 a month...if i got a $6000 loan my payments would be like close to $200 a month which is to much for me right now)

just as some side note info i do plan on adding some forced induction some time in the late late future also...probubly a S-trim...

sorry for the long post but im just one of those people that can never make up there mind..when i buy a CD ill stand in the store for over a hour trying to pick one out...so all your guys opinions would be a real help

thanxs

I'm not familiar with the Power package but I can tell you that with only 91,000 miles the engine is still young. I had almost 200,000 miles on my engine before the piston rings on the #2 cylinder decided to give out. And the last 20,000 miles or so were most likely the hardest miles of the engines life. So I would say don't worry about the bottom end just yet. I would put the heads and intake on it or whatever you want do and run it 'till it dies. Which could be a while. http://www.mustangworks.com/interact...board/wink.gif
