Mid year 08 they changed the plugs back to a one piece plug. Just look for the brown coil boots and that’s a sign they are one piece plugs.

Mach 1 or 01 cobra would be a nice score in the budget.
However, I thought a father/son project it would be cool to do a fox. Push rod motor, put a set of heads on. Learn head gaskets, set rocker arm lash, timing light, torque specs, intake manifold and header install.

A) 60s mustangs never had a v6.
B) 60s mustangs require a lot of money to not drive like shit
So I wanted that and good modern drivability.
I'm teaching my daughter all the basics on the 300 I6 in what we bought along with putting together the 408w that's going in it.
Whatever your son is into that's doable.
Seriously who cares what it is be it a truck, european sports car, Honda civic, new or old muscle car. It doesn't matter, what's important is the time spent wrenching, cursing, bleeding, laughing, learning and figuring shit out.

If you can find a 1.7l or 2.1L KB it would make the M1 a nice sleeper.
Thanks everyone. I'm pretty much convinced at this point to start the hunt for a Mach 1 and maybe as a backup option 99/01 Cobra.
Man...never thought I would hear someone say this.
What?!?!?!? Where's the thumbs down button LMAO!!!
I know this is shocking a lot of people, but classic mustangs just aren't that cool.
They drive like shit. The ergo's are ****ing terrible. They're small. They're expensive.
I have a restored 68 and it hasn't left my shop in 4 years because I don't like it.
I'll give you 68 dollars for it

Classic mustangs that is. I'll take a 69 Camaro all day.

I can only disagree with your first sentence. Classic Mustangs are the epitome of Mustangs and are the coolest of all Mustangs.
But your other statements are true when comparing classic Mustangs to modern Mustangs LOL.
