getting new project car

well. looks like i will be getting a new project car. Its prolly gonan be a 1988 mustang lx. its a 2.4l with a shit ton of miles. I wanna swap a v8 into it and restor it and all that fun stuff. Any one know of any good mustang forums? anyone else own a stang?

 

svtperformance, and there is a fox body specific. My brother is a mustang owner... so I have to listen to his shit all the time. But svt has nice stuff over there man!

 

thanks for the heads up! im lookin at either a 302 or 351w build.

 

i just cant decide on what powerplant to go with. the 351w block has a high nickle content which is good for performance builds, and the 302 is just a plane jane 302

 

my neighbor has had his 89 lx 5.0 vert since 03 or so .... seems like every vehicle ive ever owned has gotten its picture taken next to it

as far as i know its got intake, exhaust, some motor work, a bigger output alternator for his system, roll bar .... he still plans on a 5 lug conversion with disc brakes and cobra rims one of these days

 

^ thats a clean 5.0. mine is gonna need some fab work cause it started life as a 4 banger and im gonna turn it into a pushrod v8 monster lol. I have no clue where to start but I want it to end up looking like a gt. So i get a lot of body parts to buy.

 

yea i tried to get him to buy the gt front bumper a few years ago but he wasnt having it

 

Go with a LSx and t56.

 

if your talkin about a LS engine there aint a snow balls chance in hell a LS is going into my mustang......not enough weed in the world to get me to do that.....well maybe there is but i still aint doin that. Thanks for the rec. tho
