Also youre going to be spending a ton of cash for a new motor and tranny that are bone stock so it wont be nearly as fast as your car would be with the 331. > > Also dont buy a first year engine because it always seems like something gets fixed or improved the following year. > > Or you could just buy a '11+ GT for a daily driver and do a few bolt on mods and run 12’s. Honestly, it would be just as fast, if not a good bit faster than what I have now, both motor to motor, and spray to spray. You figure Evo went [10.5@128](mailto:10.5@128) with a 150 shot in a much heavier car, subtract ~500lbs from that and I have no doubt as long as the car hooks I could run bottom [10’s@130](mailto:10's@130) or so. The crate engine is actually pretty well priced, its $6100, and to build a 408 the way I want would be WELL over that, closer to the 10-12K range. The streetability is really selling me as well. Being able to go to LG and get 25mpg, and have a quick car is really selling me. I may just buy a '11 in the sprng instead though lol. Who knows. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/94-mustang-build-up/247289)._
