Sup everyone, I'm new to F-body's (been a mustang owner all my life) and have been browsing this site for some time. I'd like to learn about a new platform, and I think the F-body is where it's at when it comes to speed vs cost. Debating on what type of F-body to get, with the ultimate goal in mind of building a 427 or 408 with a nice TT setup.

Haha yeah yeah. I'm stuck on either a 347 or 383. I think I'm going with a 347 since the stroke is shorter for a 200-250 shot. But then I'll need a better transmission..better converter and etc. well ****. There went my early plans of getting it done
