All factory fox body coupes, LX hatches, and GTs came 4 lug.

Car looks clean, but get rid of the wheels, not a fan of meats on the back and skinnies up front on a basically bone stock car

Yeah, I raced these guys in a 96-98 auto GT convertible the other day and pulled a car and a half on them from 40-80. They were like, "Man, whats mods do you have?" Man this thing is slow. It will be faster though, ti'll then, the SS is the "fast car".

The wheels are definitely going to be gone, then 5-lug conversion, gears, forged 347 or possibly an '03 Lightning engine, .

That is a clean car. I just sold the W out of my 84GT, it would have been perfect for that car.
