[QUOTE="swshawaii, post: 1037559, member: 67547"] Duncan, if you decide to look for Gen 2 ST's you "probably" want to look for a 4.6L 3V (V8) with the 6R60 transmission after all the known issues with the 2001-05 Gen 1's drive train. Also recommend looking at build dates after 12/07 with the upgraded heads that use the single piece spark plugs. Water long under the bridge, but the Gen 1 would have been the near perfect vehicle for me if the proven and almost "bulletproof" 5.0L (302) pushrod V8 was offered as an option. I'm seriously considering the 5.0L conversion. Wish you the best and Happy Holidays! Steve [/QUOTE]
