Def. keep an eye out man! How long did it take you to physically do the swap after you had all the parts?

[Reloaded]

Well I'll tell you that you'll run into a lot of little things. Like not having the right bolts/nuts, or getting things like hoses and stuff to route things a little differently. It took Saturday and Sunday to do the bulk of the work and another hour or so on a weeknight to finish up the little stuff. If we had everything there and ready to go, probably about 12 hours. With all the little things that you run into and running out to the store and getting stuff you need, I'd say it took us about 17 hours. That was with having someone who had done it 3 times before my car helping.

Yeah I think the hardest part of this is finding all the damn parts...that's the problem and I'll need help w/ that. That's why I want to buy a 80%+ complete kit. I don't have a problem hunting down the little things here and there. I planned on budgeting the car being down a full week once I start the swap. So a few days like you said is less than I was expecting

Phish...yeah after I get the blower off you I'll need another 100+ parts

[Reloaded]

Yep. The plus is that it's all Ford parts, so it's not too bad to install. Unfortunately, it's a crap-load of parts that you have to change out. I think you'll be looking at around $2200-2600 for a complete kit minus like the timing cover or something. That's going to be the most expensive part most likely unless you luck out and find one used. And if the guy doesn't know what he has. Because I've seen some used ones going for close to what they cost new! I wish that I still had an old Mach timing cover to swap with the timing cover I have on my old core engine. It has the Cobra cover on it with about 9,000 miles on it! But I have to send the core back with a timing cover. So I guess that one is lost.

Yes, I'd like to find an almost near complete one for under 3k.

This is one of the nicest colors that ford ever put on a car. Looks great. I'm liking the shaker.
