Trade for 91 GT

NMR-2vGT · August 20th, 2007, 12:39 AM

Im looking at trading a guy my 96 gt for his 91 gt.

The 91 GT currently has a mechanical problem and im wondering what you guys think.
Mods for 91:
DSS shortblock
GT-40 heads
Anderson motorsport cam, not sure which one, i think he said B-303 or E-303
Has paxton novi 1000 s/c
TKO 500 trans.
Built rearend with 3.73s

Those are the main things i can think of right now, not sure what else exactly. The problem with the car is what we believe to be something in the head. We think its either just a loose rocker, a bent valve and a head gasket.
How much would this cost to fix?
And now the main question. Should i trade? i know there is a lot of money that has been put into that car and i am seriosly thinking about it.

I tried not to make it confusing.

Any input would be great.

if it's a loose rocker or head gasket it wont be that much but i dont no how much it would cost to fix a bent vavle i guess it would depend how much damage it did

get it and buy some better heads

NMR-2vGT · August 20th, 2007, 03:04 PM

I dont think im going to because its one of those deals that sounds to good to be true. Plus, hes got all that money wrapped up in the car and he is very anxious to get rid of it. I think there is more wrong with it than he is trying to say because the new motor only has a couple thousand miles and you dont just bend a valve or something that fast do you?

5mustang0 · August 20th, 2007, 10:08 PM

it's possable to bend a vavle with only a few miles on it ask him if u can hear it run for a little if it will start at all

Not only that but why in the F*CK would you use GT40 heads on a DSS shortblock??? AFR's would acommodate MUCH better. I am not so sure this guy knows how to map his mods... I would stay away from it.

man i got to say that is a sucker punch from hell

he had to have broken his jaw

NMR-2vGT · August 22nd, 2007, 05:37 PM

Im thinking about offering him cash for the car so i that way i still have my car while i get it fixed. What do you guys think would be a decent price to pay for the car?
Thanks for the input

NMR-2vGT · August 22nd, 2007, 05:38 PM

And i was also thinking about replacing the gt-40 heads to.

Iownastang · August 22nd, 2007, 10:43 PM

I wouldnt give him much 3500-4500 b/c it dont run and noone knows whats wrong with it.Just to let you know anderson ford dont make an e-303 or b-303 those are ford racing cams.If it has what he says it has on it hes put a good amount of money into that car.

NMR-2vGT · August 22nd, 2007, 11:49 PM

I was thinking about that range also. I was thinking about just offering $3000 and see what he says and go from there. I am trying to drag it out as long as i can because im in no hurry beings that its not currently running.

Iownastang · August 23rd, 2007, 05:07 PM

Thats what i would do work my way up from 3000.

i agree with the other guy you should not use gt40 feads on a shortblock like that you need to be careful this guy obviously doesn know enoug about this car to mod it very well i wouldn do it ......

NMR-2vGT · August 25th, 2007, 02:00 AM

I have a question though, everyone says the gt-40 heads were a bad idea on here so can you explain the reasoning? I know there are alot better performing aluminum heads out there that would make more power but is that the reason you guys say this or is there another reason i should know about?

nolife · August 25th, 2007, 03:12 AM

I have aluminum GT40 heads. They came with the Ford 5.0 crate motor that was in the car when I bought it. I'm making decent power with them and boost. If you already have them, you are not going to get a big bang for your buck by getting something else. Maybe on a higher revving and more air hungry 347, different heads might make more of a difference?
