The average owner (who is not a mechanic) is not going to pull his engine, swap over all the parts onto a long block, and re-install the engine. Therefore it would be quicker, cheaper and easier to replace with a crate engine, then maybe sell some of the remaining components.
CarMax or Carvana are good alternatives that won't involve tire kickers and scammers. Also local Mustang clubs or cars and coffee are possible options.
I thought I went through a lot of cars, at least in my youth. I've slowed down now though, or maybe learned to let them live a little longer.

Then those are the dealerships that an informed buyer doesn't purchase from. Not all dealers play those games, only the worst ones. There are plenty that do though.

You are simply not worth arguing with. If they are already offering 6500 off, what do you think will happen as the current production year draws to a close? Other members have documented Ourisman Ford in Manassas, VA offering 15% off already back in January or February. 15% of 60k=9k.
Just so...
Really? Several local dealers are now up to $6500 off of the 60K+ cars (which is what I am looking at). What do you think will happen as inventory builds up and the new models are closer by summer? You go ahead and pay MSRP. It's people like you that make it easier for informed buyers to get...
No mini with the Brembos for the front, unless you take off a rear and put it on the front, then the mini MIGHT fit on the rear. Only real option is to buy the correct replacement wheel (factory or aftermarket) and loose most of the use of your trunk with the large wheel/tire.
