Purchased a 98 Mustang Cobra SVT OFF OF INTERNET. I had someone drive it and look over before I purchased. Engine runs rough at 60 mph or higher. This is my list of plans for the car right away. If I a missing something would appreciate guidance:
Drain and replace all fluids, to include engine, transmission, differential, brake, power steering, ect.
Tune up with better performance spark plugs and new wiring.
Install new gear in differential (3.73 or 4.10) if needed or any suggestions.
New wheels and tires, 245/45r/17. 9” front 10” rear. Tires Michelin
Check brakes, change out air filter.
No clue on what the intake is, but after 23 years of use, are new ones recommended?
What else could I do to make it a worthy Cobra any one would be proud of. Replacing two front seats, painting it Laser Red and clear coated.
Any other recommendation regarding work that should be checked or worked on?
Was thinking of lower with springs, but 1 1/2” does not seem equitable to the amount to do.
Thank you guys, your help will be appreciated, cannot wait to start, taking delivery Friday by transport. Total budgeted $6,000….
