do you have an engine in the 96 stang??? is it in good shape???302(5.0).? if you have never worked on a engine i would start small and work my way up. getting to know the engine. if its a gt motor it should be able to get some good hp out of it as is. meanwhile save your money and start doing research and talking to guys that live and breath small block fords. i had a screaming 302 in the 70's and 80's it was a 69 ford galaxie sports roof and i got it running in the 12:00's but i was using old tech.which i know real well but this newer stuff is greeck to me and i have no desire to learn. it's to late in my life,.good luck.and have fun

be careful of marine engines,some run backwards compared to regular car engines. this is not a unusal acourance with marine engines,i have a 292 yblock which is a marine engine it run backwards to the passanger engine.the cams are different and they usually run timing gears and not timing chain.
