i have a 2003 cvpi. i was wanting to swap the heater controls from the knob style to the nicer button style because it has a temp read out and looks better. is this possible and what all do i need to get to make it work

Be sure to do your research. Where and what model is the push button style heater control coming from? What sort of heater control unit is used (vacuum or electric)?

It appears you are taking about installing an Automatic Temperature Control unit. Be sure to get ALL the parts needed before you start on this. Study the differences between the two systems, and you probably can get this from a salvage yard cheaper than from the dealer.

It's just a SUPER-DUTY Mustang GT Sedan. 198K miles and still rolling HARD.

STOCK?? I bet it was modified.

13.26 @ 107.24 MPH 1/4 mi w/ me, tools, & full tank of 93 octane

I added CAI, NICHE 19 X 8.5 " wheels with 245/45ZR 19 rubbers, and completely rebuilt the front end with poly bushings, Kooks headers, 2 1/4inch exhaust, TCI 2200-2400 rpm Stall converter

.PLANS:: engine upgrade, 5.4L 2v stroker, rebuild interior in leather w/ buckets, thinking about turbos

Here is a write up by a legend in the Panther community on how to retrofit the EATC into a non-equipped car.

It is not one of the easiest projects but is possible, just make sure you have all the parts before you take the dash apart.
