I don't think ud have a problem doing it. __________________ 1999 v6 5spd- CAI, dual exhaust, spec stage 1 clutch, P&P heads and intakes, aluminum driveshaft, short shifter, 4.10 gears, auburn posi, SCT tuned 2001 SVT Cobra- SLP x-pipe, Borla Catback

Not even gettin into future modding with the need of an 8.8 its a good mod. V6s stock have 3.27 gears where the GT has 3.55s. so he will be gettin slightly higher gears AND a t-lok, not needing to worry about installation costs. Then for the future if he gets really into power, his axles will already be able to handle the power.

shadow5403 Hardcore Enthusiast 2000 V6 Mustang Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: PA Posts: 2,041	In 2004 i definitely know the mustang GT used 3.55 gears...and i also know before 2002 they used 3.27. I thought mid 2002 when Ford started using the Tremec TR-3650, the final gear ratio was upped to 3.55. I can find 2004 model specs and 2001 specs....but not 2002 or 2003. Someone enlighten me. __________________ http://www.angelfire.com/pro2/shadowx/mustang_pics

It will give him a t-loc (that he doesn't have stock on the sixer). Plus, it will set him up for big power later if he wants to go that route. __________________ MWWarlord 1995 Mustang convertible check out my garage for pics and a complete list of mods. http://www.tricktuners.com

If not you could still keep it or sell it and buy a nitrous kit =] or a tuner.... __________________ 1999 v6 5spd- CAI, dual exhaust, spec stage 1 clutch, P&P heads and intakes, aluminum driveshaft, short shifter, 4.10 gears, auburn posi, SCT tuned 2001 SVT Cobra- SLP x-pipe, Borla Catback
