I have the chance to buy a 1996 Ranger with a speed density 5.0 mustang motor swapped into it. The guy is asking $1800 and is willing to take payments since I don't have the cash laying around. He said it needs some work to get past inspection here in Maryland. I used to have an 1987 Mustang LX 5.0 that was speed density, but I am not sure how much emissions stuff was on it. My question is would it be a worthwhile truck to buy? It was originally a column shift auto, but is now a floor shift auto, and he said it looks like the brake peddle has been moved over to the left a little bit. I am going to look at it sometime this week. Is there anything I should look out for other than the obvious things? Also does this seem like a decent buy since I don't have a ton of money to dump into it to get it to pass inspection? I can do little things here and there and hopefully get it through within a couple months of buying it, but I don't want to sit on it for a while while I drop tons of money into it. Thanks for any input in advance.
