Ok so Ive got my gold ws6 which is very rare "1 of 7" and it is basically just a bolt on car with 80k on it. I also have a 92 Mustang GT. I can not for the life of me make up my mind on which car to build. I know that it is truly up to me and I am the one that is going to have to drive it, I just can not seem to decide. If you guys could give me some opinions on which you think would be cooler / better. Also which would be cheaper / easier.

your cars rarity wont come into play for a long time. it depends how you are building the motor and what for. if the t/a is for a DD and you want mega power in it with a streetable cam and tune, then the t/a should be a fine home. if you want this motor to be a barely driveable track brawler, the fox is probably a better option.

I am not really worried about rarity. Im already doing an m6 to a4 swap either way on the formula and its almost a full bolt on car. So I passed the point of putting it away and keeping it original a long time ago.
I also will be buying a DD in the fall. Basically because I am deployed and have no need for one right now. I am just looking for some opinions before I get into buying suspension or swap parts.

I don't know that these cars will ever see a large increase in value. Regardless, a 1 of 7 car is rare, but it already has 80k miles on it anway. I personally would have no problem modding it.
I think a 408 Formula, or Fox would both be pretty cool. The Fox would be the better performer, but it would also cost a bit more money, and be alot more work.
I would probably go with the Fox assuming I had the time, money, and resources to complete the swap. I think it would be bad *** to pop the hood at car meets and have an LSX sitting in there.

I am kinda leaning towards the fox a bit but I'm just worried that I will neglect spending time with my bird... I just don't see how after being in a 9 sec car and then hoping in something that run's mid 12s can be very much fun.

Zeke 34, thats what I was kinda wanting to do. Mainly the only reason I am hesitant changing the motor in the bird is that everyone makes it out to be such a PITA. Is there any way to pull it out the top. Note: I am also planning on putting a UMI full tubular front on it.
