I have a 2000 V6 mustang, dont knock it, v8 was going to kill me in insurance and cost so i ad to go with the lower end, and i did not want to buy a civic or some bullshit, but i am in need of suggestions to add some powa to it i have about 1000$ to spend on modifications and i would like to hear what i could add i know its not alot of money, its what i can afford right now. I have already converted it to the dual exhaust setup like the GT. Any help would be great thanks.

k&n gen. 2 air intake kit...or drop in a 5.0 from an 88 GT...don't tell the insurance company...and you could pick up one of those engines for like 150 at a junk yard...then just rebuild it...

K&N intake is shiz.
Get a Densecharger from www.densecharger.com.
Get Timing adjuster and pullies from www.steeda.com.
Put some 3.73s in back.
Check out www.v6power.net. You can get the hookup over there. The pullies and T/A are a definite must. The densecharger will give a better sound and some pull up top.

Oh yeah, and get yourself a tri-ax from www.steeda.com. I don't know how anyone can stand to shift through that stock slushbox.

if it were my car, i would put the gears in the back, exhaust, and spray it with a nice healthy shot of nitrous. nitrous is the best bang for your buck and the motor should handle it.

I dont know what i love more, cars or girls! actually wait, i like girls more!

Nitrous and V6 Mustangs don't mix well at all. Most you can go safely is a 50 shot and even that won't last long with the shitty valves on those motors.
And he already has exhaust.
Trust me, just do what I suggested and your car will feel a LOT better.

a 402 hemi doesnt exist.the 402 is a stroked out 360 wedge from chrysler or a 400 engine bored about .010 over. make it easy go with a LS1 v8 or just sell it and get a Z28 youll save time money hassle and itll be under warranty, it will be better

so u meant 454 umm ok well i am pretty sure that the hemispherical combustion chamber is patented by daimler chrysler (not positive ont hat but i think it is) so i seriously doubt that there is a 454 hemi unless it is an over bored 426 but it is still going to be a chrysler engine so u'd have alot of mods to put it in there. if my info is wrong and this 454 HEMI (with an i) does exist than i apolagise but dude have u ever seen one have u ever heard of one and do u even know that hemi is a dodge engine even when ford had the 429 i do believe they had to call it a semi hemi or sometihng. and do ytou know what makes a hemi a hemi? oh yah and about copying badassdodge's ideas wut the hell are you talking about and i don't really care if u wanna come here and smoke me u should feel proud being able to beat a stock 92 cavalier

V6 to V8 swaps are hella dollars in a late-model F-body. You might as well trade the bad boy in for an SS or a Z28. You'll save money and MUCH time.

actually it will cost more for the ss and z28 cause i want a convertable and an ss convert is 33 and a z28 is 31 and id probaly if im lucky get 20 for my car and i have enough money to do the swap i know its spendy but i think its worth it and if i dont do the swap i might just get a ford lighting and hohyeah i have heard of the 454 but i have never seen it so if im wrong i just heard wrong i know u dont think it maTTERS IF IT A CONVERTABLE but i want it just cause its so much nicer to drive anyway if i dont get the swap or the lightning i dont know what ill get maybe an old 50
