$150 is really chump change if you own an old Mustang and work on it with any regularity.

All depends if you want one that "works" or OEM correct.

To each their own.

See folks not blink an eye at a $800+ after market "alloy" cross-flow, extra-cooling, "built for Australian conditions" sales wank (what differs in heat transfer and thermodynamics here that doesn't apply everywhere else in the universe????) ;)

Love this quote Mert. Restmods "They simply work".
I will someday think of something clever to say.

Hey, some restomods are as much work as a concours build. (well... OK... maybe not... but still a huge effort).

Not dismissing them (I'm making one now) some are stunning. Just the fact that the "added cost" noted for correct, to some, would be irrelevant as they want what they want and its about the end result not how fast or how much....
