Re: What should i do??? dude,
just buy a 1989-1993 mustang fox body 4-cylinder (notch or hatchback) and drop a 302 or 351 in it. Keep the body original, and you've got yourself a real sleeper! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Re: What should i do??? Grand National all the way!!!!!!! something about 231ci 6 pot running low 12s with very little expense is awesome. only thing is they are still a little pricey, but they are really worth it.

Re: What should i do??? Dude get the grand national, it will rape any mildly moded fox-body, not to mention that with the times you are talking about, give quite a few LS1s a run for their money

Great cars and highly respected. Aside from performance, if and when you ever sell it, you will get some money back out of it.....assuming you take care of it. I have raced one and beat him....but not too badly.
