Lol nice Sean you happy with the car? Anything thats wrong with it? Best of luck moding over the winter im sure it gets very cold up there. But when its done will it be more powerful than your last?

Don't get me started! I was about to bolt on my Mickey ET Streets, just had to borrow my dad's impact, so I go over there to pick it up, right? Wrong. He's dicking with the well in the front yard and needs a hand, when it was all said and done, the 30 mins I allotted for the tire change went to helping change the pressure switch and putting the heavy as hell cement cap on the well. It was almost 6 by the time I left there, and track opens at 6. End rant, but yes. I was pissed when I ran a 15.1 at 92 because I know that's a MF'in 14 with even a 2.1 60 foot...

Thanks, Jay! The reason I like foxes so much is because they are a blank canvas, so much **** you CAN do to it if you want, cosmetically as well. It will get a healthy heads/intake package over the winter.

Thanks, Mac. Yep, I'm very pleased with it. It will be more powerful than the last one because it will have new heads, intake (already purchased), and exhaust that let it breathe like it should. I'll be using the throttle body and MAF from my last car, as well as driveshaft, 94/5 fuel rails, roller rockers, mini-starter, and the new 4.10s I still have sitting in the box. I'm converting it to electric fan, and using the 3G alternator from way back when I had my 95 Cobra. Busy winter ahead!, but since I have a garage now, I can tear into it. Last winter was a clusterphuck because if I wanted to wrench (not in the 0 degree weather), I had to use my dad's garage, and I felt guilty because then he can't tinker with his ****.

I'm still getting used to having a hatchback...always had coupes in the past.

127k in the car yesterday. Because street car!

Heater

You'll like the hatch if you use it as a actual street car. You'll be surprised at hom much stuff you can put back there if you don't try to close the hatch.

LoL, when I was a teenager, I put a dissasembled water bed in the back of mine, to get it home.

Good **** man 12s is that the goal or is 11s possible when all said and done? Do i need a 150 shot to beat you this time is what im getting at lol

I know your lighter than me so idk how much thats gonna help ya...

big hammer

gonna be a time. i guess i better tell the wife about that 87 so i can bring it home. i'll run it to compare.

I've already moved stuff and been like "Yeah, no way that was fitting in my coupe's trunk" because the coupe's trunk is borderline worthless altogether. So tiny.
The goal is 11s...no effs given about trap, I just want to run an 11 in a 302 that's street driven with P/S, A/C, heat, and a good sound system. This car is a fully optioned GT that will stay full interior, that means power locks, power windows, A/C, etc. It's not nearly as light as my coupe was which was a bare bones LX coupe with power NOTHING and NO A/C from the factory. 86 GT = 3108lbs stock, plus me @ 240, minus weight that aluminum heads, driveshaft, removed dogbone, and removed smog will drop. No inspection in my county so smog is useless.
Is it stock? or "cam only" as of now?

Sean, h/c/i on a fox is a weekend project. I have done it. So easy to work on a 5.0.

Oh, I've done HCI before, but never by itself. It was always part of a car restoration or finishing a major project. It will be kinda cool to JUST do the mods on this car instead of the 100s of other hours in wiring, wiring, more wiring, did I mention wiring? Piecing together seats, steering wheels, radios, headliners, door panels.

I've decided I'm pulling the motor for 2 reasons, 1) I'm already going to have to jack the motor up and disconnect most things to get longtube headers on, and 2) I don't want to be jacking around busting knuckles, spilling fluid, dropping wrenches/bolts, normal wear/tear of modding on the car's nice paint job around the engine bay. I'm gonna put it on a stand and have every bolt easily accessible!

That's good, Hammer! I didn't catch the exact specs of the 'bird you're picking up besides 87. What engine/tranny/trim level?

big hammer

it's an 87 formula, 5.0 TPI 5 speed. no options except power windows, tilt and cruise. no A\C even. 100,000 miles on it. stock.
