if your going to do a swap get a cobra motor. if your thinking of putting that much money into the swap think about adding a power adder to that 6er. tmaturbo.com has a great kit for our 6's and have produced enough power to gt down gt's and cobras. of course bigger will always give you more power but try somethign different. look at v6power.net they have a guy with a stock long block(intake to oil pan and no porting) with a tt set up and is running 10sec for the 1/4 mile and it's still going. anyways... that all i have to say.

you're painting your car 2 colours before the swap? That right there tells me your car will be a V6 for a while.

My V6 was 2"+ drop and the ride was extremely bumpy. 1.5" with the Cobra was way more comfortable.
