Ive crossed over to the dark side.....
 

Welp, like the title says....I recently purchased a 1989 hatchback foxbody mustang. The car itself is a roller, full cage, harnesses, shortened ford 9 inch, ladder bars, coilovers in the rear, disc brakes all around, mini-tubbed, 5 lug conversion, drag wheels (not sure on the brand) skinnies up front. Car is solid, not the cleanest, but thats not what im after. My plans for the car are a 460 swap, th400 trans, maybe a tremec 5 speed, not sure yet. Sticking with a carb.

Let the hating begin!!!!

Pics! I love foxbodys just don't tell anyone here...

Pics to come this weekend, I havent brought it home yet, its still sitting in my buddies garage.

Ill give you 3 cars and still take you how it sits lol

klab can pick on you after you build it

Haha Im not gonna argue with that! But hey, its still an "f-body" (fox body) lol

It doesnt take much to get 450 hp and 500+tq out of a 460, a good cam, headers, d3ve heads with some port work, intake, carb, and bam. AND you can run them at 5500 rpm safely all day long.

you should put an lt1 in it

Best.....idea......ever!!!!! Seriously though, Id be perfectly happy with never having to work on an lt1 car ever again. Dont get me wrong, I liked my LT1, it put down some decent power, and put many stangs to shame (idk how stock mustang owners even have fun in their cars honestly...theyre so slow...). Also it was running strong with 179k on it, and its probably still running now. I just couldn't justify dumping money into it to pray and hope for 380whp.... I also couldnt justify spending the amount of money it would take for an LS swap. The swap gets 10x harder just because it was a 93 too. LT1's are great bolt on cars and thats it, IMO, unless you have oodles of money to get into the 450whp range.

Crud. This site is dying a little more every day.

Do yourself a favor and put a cam only stock 5.3 with some rod bolts in it and a turbo. Will be faster for cheaper.

+1 . I could never do top end stuff to my car. It's too old, especially compared to the LS aftermarket.
