When i bought my mustang from the previous owner he said the only before him told him that the engine in it is a 2001 mustang. This was put in because he blew the other one. I have looked at pictures of other mustangs engines on the internet and i think that i have the stock motor.....is there any particular way that i can tell?

I have just bought a tuner and before i have it tuned i need to know this. All help is appreciated

or no?

 

[itschristorres8]

thats a pre 99 motor =/

 

[riddlee josh]

thats def the 98 engine. the 99-04 had a dif intake and had split port heads and intake. i have a 98 and mine looks just like that

 

[HMUSN]

yup.. it's a stock motor.

 

[whitemustang02]

yes that is a stock moter that is definetaly in need of a cleaning.

 

[RavensChild]

*starts bawling* that makes me so mad. I had no idea at the time. i know it needs to be cleaned. Would it be best done with just power washing it or do i need to do it some other way?

 

[HMUSN]

steam cleaning would make her shine.

also, how much does it cost to do a split port swap. I know someone has asked this before but i believe it is an easy answer.

 

[HMUSN]

ask chris torres .. I think he is selling them
