    I would say look on the mustang forums and ask around
    If it's cheap and reliable it isn't fast

    Check out Powerheads:

    http://www.powerheads.com/

    I have always liked what they did with the E7 heads that came on the Foxbody and early SN95 5.0's. I have a set of their heads on my 86 GT and aboslutely love the way they perform. They also do 4.6 stuff. Don't have any experience with that though. Might be worth a click!

    Did you do the rear cooling mod?

    No I never thought about researching the problems these cars have and the preventative methods, i purchased my car off a mom and pop dealer who picked it up at a repo auction, my guess is that owner never took care of it. Its my daily driver and it will cost me a pretty penny.

    by the way I apologize for the late response..
