I had a 2000 v6 5 speed in highschool. Yeah the engine was small and slow but it was stick and it gave me a lot of joy. I had custom purple paint with a mate black strip going down the center. Black rims and at one point 4subs in the back. Sadly my depression got the best of me and I just stopped taking care of it. Then I got rear ended in it. Lucky it was just a bumper that needed to be replaced but I ended up selling it.
Nice looking upgrades. We have owned a 1999 gt since new and biggest problem is the front bucket seats. Car was not built for taller people. We upgraded our pedals to aftermarket aluminum, made shifting gears a lot easier. Enjoying this build and the unique engine swap you have planned.
I’m not a mustang guy at all, but this is the best modern mustang style between 1990 and the latest refresh. These changes really clean it up nice in the front!
Was interested to see how you cleaned it up. Turns out you and I have nearly the same tastes as I did every single one of those mods to my 2000 gt roller while i was turbo LS swapping it. Keep up the good work.
Definitely like the mods. The grille and lights is fantastic. Not a fan of the chrome pony but it's much better than the other one. I did a blacked out pony on my S550. Almost disappeared in the grille
That does look much better. I have a Mach 1 in a similar color (azure blue). I really like the GT hood and scoop, too bad your going to change it. I know the 5.4 doesn’t fit under there as easily so I understand. I also have a GT and I’ve owned several. I do like the front end better than the 03 cobra unless it’s an actual 03 cobra, which I have as well, and I hate when people put cobra bumper covers on non cobras. The pedals were a great choice.
Nice cosmetic package, and the price looked very good considering it included headlights. I’ve priced those for other vehicles and got bad sticker shock. As far as esthetics, I much prefer my old ‘89 notchback, but I haven’t owned it for about 30 years…anyway, nice work!
Important rules on spark plug installs. If the plug is going into an aluminum head You must use anti-cease unless (1) the heads have cast iron or steel plug inserts (2) you're racing the car and thus remove the plug regularly to inspect them.
That block can handle .020" over and still be OK. Don't worry until you get to .060". That bare frame sitting there is making me want to frame-off my OBS. Damn you, LT!!! (shakes fist). LOL
Talk to Jordan at modular head shop he has alot of time with these mod motors he sales all the parts you need also great shipping times never had a problem with them
Having ordered a new shadow grey Mach 1 in July of 2002 and keeping it as a Daily for 12 straight years , I'm saying the chin strap, grill delete and the addition of the Cobra brakes are a must for new edge cars. I ordered the automatic in mine. It was a brute with that. Oh let's not forget a shaker hood 🍺
Looks much better. I am a big proponent of the same changes to clean up the look of the car. I am not a fan of the factory tail lights either. I think Raxiom makes a set for the new edges that simulate the 13-14 tail lights. I’m kinda crazy I guess. I would have swapped out that factory front crash bar for a tubular one while I was there. It will definitely help with airflow and cooling if you are going turbo. Not to mention it drops some weight from way out front. Speaking of dropping weight; it might not be a bad idea to go ahead and get the UPR chromoly tubular K member A arms and coil overs. Offset as much of that extra block weight and give you as much room as possible. Still super excited to see how this build goes. It is something I have wanted to do for a while, just haven’t had the time or the car. Hard to find a decent one in my area. Most have been beat to heck. Thanks again and keep up the cool stuff.
I just recently watched a video on these ponies, guy mentioned random misfires are a common issue. He also mentioned ford oe plugs and boots work the longest and to always replace every plug even if only one is bad. Car is looking good!
I used to have the misfire issue on my 2v, the problem with those engines is they dislike anything other than motorcraft spark plugs, before I realized that i changed every coil, even checked the intake manifold and the MAF sensor because I had JUST put in some autolites because they didn't have motorcraft at the parts store. And after all those things didn't work, I put on some motorcraft spark plugs because a friend recommended that, and voilá, misfire never came back!
I've never been a big fan of the fake hood scoop.. Go with a Cervini 1995 Cobra hood and a different color. I have a 2002 GT in Mineral Gray, and I absolutely hate the color. I keep telling myself that I'm going to have it painted in another shade of gray and get rid of the blah goldish grayish flake.
Very cool cars, very underatted and very good looking as well. Yeah the 4.6 2V is underrated power wise and they seem have a long life. In the process of getting another one.
If you're going to replace the hood anyway, I had an 02 gt that I took the scoop off, drilled out the holes in the grill, then cut a hole in the hood and replaced the scoop and grill. This should allow cooler air to come into the engine bay right on top of the intake. Don't know how much, if any, it helped, but I like to think it did.
Been watching your videos for min keep up the good work! I like how your vehicles use uncommon engine builds pulled from junkyards. Another odd ball option for the mustang could be a Boss 6.2l from a F250. Find them for cheep and could bore/stroke up to 427ci with boost could be a powerful big block.
For the hard rubber parts like the pedal covers I use a tiny bit of dish soap. It is easy to wash off and doesn’t hurt anything. Eventually it’ll dry up.
The ole LMR facelift beautiful!! I would also do aftermarket lower control arms…Very important on these mustangs, I have videos explaining…Also the sn95’s need lowering springs preferably H+R super sport or Eibach sportlines, I also have videos on that…
The anti galling solution for the spark plugs in aluminum heads is Blue loctite. GM had a service bulletin in the 90’s because of technicians chasing misfires when anti sieze was used creating an insulated barrier for the ground. And you’re putting plugs in a triton esque v8, keeps the spark plug launcher from happening
I owned a 98 mark VIII LSC and actually had a few issues with misfire ..the coil boots and spring were the problem a few times..and using cheap coils didn't pay off ever..motor craft coils only...unless you get expensive coil set from Ford performance..
If the misfire comes back check the springs and boots on the COP.s. I had a 1997 GT 4.6 2V with a mysterious misfire. After changing plugs I finally noticed the smallest arc at night when the engine was running. The first generations of COPs were known for these issues plus given the age might be some deterioration.
You can replace the coil pack boots and springs fairly cheaply. Eventually the boots dry rot, crack and ground out causing an arc/miss which will eventually burn out the coil packs.
When I bought my 2001 in the fall of 2001, the first thing that I changed were the grill and added an front spoiler. Unfortunately, the Mach 1 was still a couple of years away, so I installed a '65 Shelby-esque grill with the tribar pony offset to the right and a lip spoiler that Saleen sold for a short time. Huge improvement at the time. You car should have come with the black headlights stock. The wrong ones must have installed when the front end was repaired. Those 99-2000 headlights are ugly. The black headlights and the pedestal rear spoiler were a couple of reasons I held out to 2001 to buy mine.
I’ve had 02 GT and now 03 GT. Most random misfires and misfires at idle I have found caused by bad intake manifold gaskets allowing unmetered air to be drawn into the cylinders. Pulling the manifold, toss it in trash if it’s a Dorman and putting a Ford PI intake back on fixes most of these issues.
Those ford racing pedal covers are a pain to get on! I found that a paint can opener works great to hook the edge of the cover and pry it up and over the face of the pedal
I just bought my first Mustang. It's the base model 2000 new edge V6. It's.... rather shabby, to say the least. One plus, it's never seen salt, so it's not the proverbial Rustang. As a Western New Yorker, putting some money into it is worth it. It'll never see a winter with me driving it. I mean, that just sounds insane. Winter is what ratty F-150 4x4s are for.
On a later SN95/New Edge, the only things that really need to be fixed are the flimsy floorpan (add subframe connectors) and the horrible rear 4-link suspension (certain Cobras exempted).
Undersizing the crank can make it difficult to find performance bearings. Also, the crush washer on the plug should be more than attequit to create a good ground.
The saleen bumper for these looks great imo. You lose the fog lights, but I rarely used mine. Those pedals seemed a little bit of a pain to install. Glad my 04 came factory with them.
When you open these engines up (throttle body, intake manifold, knockdown job on the heads, long tube headers, cat delete) and put some aggressive cams and valve springs in they run great man. On e85 i got my 98 to make almost 400 wheel. I figured id let you know about this, i had a misfire for like a month i couldn't figure out. I totally disregarded wires because i had a brand new set of ford racing reds on there. Guess what? The entire time it was the #2 plug wire.
@@HioSSilver1999 m'kay moron. Whatever you say. You might b the sort of dude who has time to type out bullshit comments on TH-cam, but im not and i dont. I sincerely couldn't care less if you dont think its true but, theres numerous guys on TH-cam who have achieved better results with less so, step ur game up. Dont run your mouth if you dont know.
@@yeanah2571 highly unlikely. But he could chime back in with some track times to back it up. Probably ran mid 12s at best. Anything less and it was a gutted heap.
A flat black wide stripe in the middle of the hood. Then black out the rear wing like you said. Would completely change the look of the car. Like what you did here also.
I did the exact same cosmetic modifications when I got my New Edge…all 5 of those, except mine is an automatic. Then I wrapped it…regret that and wish I would have painted it.
Ford put the misfire threshold at 20,992 misfires. That's why they don't throw a code. Best thing I've found is get the vehicle in OD, and let if misfire away, and it will eventually throw a code. Also, it's almost NEVER a coil that goes bad. It will be the boot and spring that need replaced. NAPA has kits for them. As far as anti-seize is concerned, the reason Ford started nickle plating their plugs was to alleviate the need for anti-seize. All modular Ford V8 plugs should be torqued to 28 foot pounds, DRY.
I think the Pontiac Firebird Trans Ams from that year and the Toyota Supras had the best antennas cuz they were giant but at least when you turned off the car they went down and it looked like the car doesn't have an antenna
Watching your video makes me happy I bought my 2003 Assure Blue Mach 1. (Ordered it from Ford.) BTW, Assure Blue and Shadow Gray were exclusive colors for the ‘03, ‘04 Mach 1. There were only 2,250 Assure Blue ‘03’s built.
I like the New Edge mustang and i hope i can get a 2004 convertible one that i can put the Cobra pieces on and a built IRS. as for the block being bored over .020 just send it! Whatever happens, happens. I hate doing jobs twice, but i don't think .020 will be an issue.
I know its a heated debate but grab you a set of 1in hubcentric wheel spacers for your ride. I ran them for years with no issues but really brings the side profile around if you don't plan on running 17x10.5s anytime soon.
My camaro started leaking trans fluid from the front pump seal. 😢 Since the tranny has to come out might as well upgrade it!!! lol She'll be down until April since I plan to put everything from Sonnax into my 4L60E and it'll be expensive, $3K for parts alone and another $1500 for a beefy torque converter and billet flexplate.
I will disagree that it looks better than the 03-04 Cobra front end but it’s certainly an update from stock. You need lowering springs/coilovers but you are probably waiting for a K member for your turbo setup…which is smart.
why is it I like the refresh updates of the past few gens better than their launch body styles I love this refresh on the SN95 I love the 2013-14 refresh on the S197 II mustangs and I love the 2018-now refresh on the S550's
I had a 2000 v6 5 speed in highschool. Yeah the engine was small and slow but it was stick and it gave me a lot of joy. I had custom purple paint with a mate black strip going down the center.

The new edge seats suck lol. I love the new edge, hate the seats lol
@@LawrenceTolman idk but I’m 6’5 and I fit fine in mine but mines a Automatic
I feel the seats in these cars feel like your riding a yoga ball lol I had an 02 gt that I miss dearly
I'm new around here. What happened to this build? I was so pumped watching this series
Agreed! Sooo much better with the SVE front end upgrades!
I love how the cars of our high school create nostalgia and fond memories!
The MACH 1 front mods are a must! Did my '04 years ago and looks soooo much better, especially with '04 Cobra wheels/tires...
my new fav channel, u make me feel like i'm there hanging out while ur working on ur stuff lol
thanks a ton, I do appreciate that

My neighbor has a 94 mustang cobra convertible with the 5.0 and AOD transmission and he loves it. I like the facial mods looks good!
+1 on anti-seize for spark plugs. Also have done countless that way for years, and have yet to have an issue.

So is this it on this build? Where is the Mustang?
Looks just like mine but mine is gray and has Extreme Energy Comp Camps stage 3. The sound on idle is killer !
Worth the effort the front looks better also has to be good therapy for the disappointment on the truck motor.
Have you made progress on the 5.4 swap?
Looks so much better and it looked good from the last work you did.
If you're going to replace the hood anyway, I had an 02 gt that I took the scoop off, drilled out the holes in the grill, then cut a hole in the hood and replaced the scoop and grill.

Sorry to hear you need to do more machine work than planned - but it sounds like it’s not too late to switch out the 5.4 for a 6.2!
4valve has way more potential
Let him do 5.4 dohc

Pretty sure you can use a 5.4 2v block. Plenty of those out there
Enjoying the Mustang Content!
You talked about the engine needing work, did you check the heads and the cam journals for scoring or wear?
not yet, haven't torn down the heads at all, but I would guess they have similar damage
You're doing appearance mods... Put spacers on the rear wheels already!
Love the build tho man
Stumbled upon channel, was this vehicle finished with 5.4
You can use copper cote anti sieze on plugs. It's supposed to be conducive
Those ford racing pedal covers are a pain to get on! I found that a paint can opener works great to hook the edge of the cover and pry it up and over the face of the pedal
That's a good idea!

please do more mustang videos, i enjoy them more than the trucks
Actually there is a boot and spring on the coil that can be replaced I have seen them go bad and arck out keep these good videos coming
Don’t know if you are going to but you should get the block painted think it would add to the build.
On a later SN95/New Edge, the only things that really need to be fixed are the flimsy floorpan (add subframe connectors) and the horrible rear 4-link suspension (certain Cobras exempted).
Looks great. Only thing I would have done differently is clear corner headlights.
2005-2009 3valve S197. The best out there for the money. The will become the next fox in price
Undersizing the crank can make it difficult to find performance bearings. Also, the crush washer on the plug should be more than attequit to create a good ground.
Im looking forward to the engine build. I must say your choice has me curiously interested.
For anyone doing the pedal covers, on any brand, use silicone lubricant "garage door lube".... it will make your life sooooo much easier
The saleen bumper for these looks great imo. You lose the fog lights, but I rarely used mine.
Those pedals seemed a little bit of a pain to install. Glad my 04 came factory with them.

Dude, don't worry about a slight overbore. I mean, unless it's gotta go .060 over or something like that. Send it
You would have to put a shitload of anti seize on a plug to have conductivity problems
If you slather the spark plug threads in antisieze it can cause issues. If you just use a dab to keep the threads from galling it's not a problem.
The Blue Thunder already looks a whole lot better!!!!!!
I have always used copper anti-seize on my plugs with no issues
I will always anti-seize spark plugs. Never once had an issue from 1940s engines to 2020 engines.
My camaro started leaking trans fluid from the front pump seal. 😢
Since the tranny has to come out might as well upgrade it!!! lol
She'll be down until April since I plan to put everything from Sonnax into my 4L60E and it'll be expensive, $3K for parts alone and another $1500 for a beefy torque converter and billet flexplate.
I will disagree that it looks better than the 03-04 Cobra front end but it’s certainly an update from stock. You need lowering springs/coilovers but you are probably waiting for a K member for your turbo setup…which is smart.
The chin splitter and headlights made a world of difference.
why is it I like the refresh updates of the past few gens better than their launch body styles I love this refresh on the SN95 I love the 2013-14 refresh on the S197 II mustangs and I love the 2018-now refresh on the S550's
