I want to keep an eye out for a few parts from 2007+ GT500s as well as 2011+ Mustang GTs. Pull-a-part has nothing newer than 02 that I can see. Anyone know of good places to look aside from craigslist?
The chances of finding what I want are slim, but I want to at least look into it.

Ok. Next question.
How many people will it take to pull an engine/tranny in 10 minutes?

Ill be keeping an eye out. There are a few things Im looking for.
Some practical, some kinda just dreaming.
Im considering picking up the door panels that have the subs in the doors and getting rid of my 12" Kicker L7 to free up some space.
I also want to start looking for good deals on gt500 front end components.


And if I just so happen to spot a 5.0 for cheap then I guess I could take it :D

Pulling isn't hard...


We can pull/ put in a back up motor in about 15-17 minutes as long as there's no snags

a regular street car is more difficult, and the newer it is, the more electrical shit there is, aka harder

Plasma cutter. Thats how the thieves in atlanta do it. They have an engine hoist mounted on tracks in the back of a van. Roll up, cut hood latch, cut wiring harness, plasma cut motor mounts an trans mounts, profit.
