Long story short. Ive had i started the idea of building a 4v for boost about 7 years ago before life got busy. Fast forward to now, and cost for a coyote drivetrain have really went down and the support for the swap is growing faster a surprising rate.
What i have now:
The car is a daily driven 2001 Gt that i want to park to restore/upgrade.
I have a complete 99 cobra motor and $1300 with the builder right now, we haven't done anything in 7 years so i think its time to decide now between the 4v or a coyote. (1st or 2nd gen coyote would be ok)
In other words, I need to decide on continuing with this build, pulling out completely, or transfer the funds and sell the 4v in favor of another project.
Cost to finish the build is an additional 4500, with 2700 to install. Planning on keeping it manual and upgrading to a 6 speed.
Goals:
Car would be driven half the year, with maybe a track run or two. I haven't thought about this in a very long time. Maybe im not asking myself the right questions anymore. Im looking for some guidance or advice. I would say my budget would extend as far as it needs to within reason, as in not spending more than the cost of a coyote powered mustang, which is still about 25k+ in my area.
