Mustangs are pretty douchey..so that fact alone should get you to keep it and press on.

All you need to do to get it running is install a piggyback, clutch and have it tuned? Dude, you've got an awesome NEW engine there. Take advantage of it and hang onto the car! You will spend WAY less to get it up and running than you would on a mustang. Plus, it's OBDI :) You have more freeplay with that...in a sense. Hang onto the car! Save your bucks that you'd be spending on a new lame monthly payment and drop a little into your car to get it back on the road. You'll be happy in no time :)

Are you going E-85?

Yea, was going to run e85, I wanted to break the 500whp mark on 15gs.
The engine is still not together but its all there. But the shop will have it done in no time. I should really run a aem. I guess I could order the clutch up and that will get everything for the shop and the car would just need the aem installed and tuned at that point with a exhaust. I could prolly have it back by end of summer and fall if I bust and stop spending money on random stuff.
I have a set of graphite concave weapons to put on the car. The car is firestorm red. But I really needs coolers its in Ebaich springs now.
Ugh maybe if I go to the shop and look at it and see it coming together it will help me.
I have no movation to even order parts lol. Many would prolly call me dumb for it being so close but so far. So much money into it. Been 2 years since I have drove the thing. I have been driving a 95 intripd that is the biggest turd , no per steering. No ac. Shit clunking everywhere lol so now I'm taking a 6k loan out for a nice dd.
So how I need to get back into it .

I will try, I will go in on Friday and drop off the manifolds and see how it is coming. I'm sure once the long block is together I will be back into it. I haven't seen the engine together in 2 years either . So I'm sure to see my semi built block be mated to the refreshed heads all nice and clean with everything else being put on. I will get my 3s car boner.back and get it done. Atleast I hope :( :'(

Honestly, I was in your shoes two years ago. My car sat for 3 years with two blown rods and no money to fix it. I missed the car so much and finally took out a loan and rebuilt her. I dreamt about driving it the entire time it was in the shop and my frequent visits to see the progress just gave me the motivation to feel it pull me into the driver seat again. She runs better than ever, and now I get so many compliments on it that I know I made the right choice by sticking with it. AND, I don't have the car payment I would have had should I have decided to part out or sell. You'll make the right decision.

Sorry guys, I don't know what happened. I think my brain shut off that night from working to many hours with no sleep. I am not parting it out. I went to the shop today, the engine will be fully together next week minute clutch, output shaft and trans. After seeing. The car today just kicked my back into high gear, its time to get it done and hit 500whp and rock it out this year
