00 3.8L Update
(aka MINT2K)
The last time I was in Select Stangs was 8-29-00 here as a nice stock
little V6 pony. Over the past nine months, I've turned this 5 speed
coupe into a very unique Mustang. Here is what it looked like in the
last feature:

I photo-documented the entire dual exhaust V6 conversion with 2000 GT
take offs as well. It can be found as well as a Ram Air "how to"
on my page. I've thuroughly enjoyed tinkering with this car! The first
section of my page has 7 photo sets of all the mods done in chrono-logical
order (not that I'm obsessd!).
Well, Here's the future mod list (hopefully they'll all be done with
the next update!). I've ben holding off on the BIG additions until the
good ole warrantee wears off:
1) Steeda Triax Shifter
2) 1.5" drop (C-Springs or Steeda)
3) ASP Crank UD Pully and H balancer (temporary)
4) Re-routed Ram Air through front hood
5) Kaminari Side Skirts
6) Steeda Front Air Dam
(Final Toss up)
7a) Nitros Works NOS 60-80 HP shot & Dyno tune w/ custom Chip
7b) Vortech S -Trim Supercharger & Dyno tune w/ custom Chip
& that is all!
