HELP! Newbie 95-96 GT questions

Ron Brooks · 07-09-2001, 12:06 PM

Potential first time Mustang owner with some pre-purchase questions. I am not that familiar with the Mustang and have some basic questions between the 95 pushrod and 96 4.6 cars. I do not intend to do a great deal of modification to the car I buy.

So, with that said, is either engine more preferable from a long life or ease of modification point of view? I would assume the 95 car would be cheaper to modify because it has been around longer, but the 4.6 has been around now for some time as well, although much less time.

Second, is there any reason why a 96-97 car might be preferable over a 95 as far as equipment or some other reason, or aside from the engine are they really the same?

Thanks,

Ron Brooks

Some modifications are a littel more complicated for the 4.6L also. ------------------ Blueneonman - '95 5.0L Mustang GT Convertible \| K&N Custom Cold Air Intake \| FMS 9mm Wires \| Hollow Cats \| Flowmaster 2 Chambers \| BBK Subframes \| 6-pt Rollcage \| King Cobra Clutch \| FMS Adjustable Clutch Cable \| B&M Short Throw \| Coolest Neon Lighting on a Mustang EVER!
