New to the automotive game...fox body 5.0

I guess that's another advantage to the older cars without the air bag, tilt wheel. I've been trying to find a column that will work for my car w/ the air bag set-up that's tilt but to no avail yet. I don't really like where the wheel sits on the air bag cars...

Well... it's safer, and looks better IMO, never liked the old style wheel.. and you get the updated interior. Safety in a Fox personally is my number 1 priority, first thing I did to my car, before even touching the engine, was upgrade the brakes. Gotta be able to stop if you wanna go.

the feature cars of 92 didn't have forged internals. Technically they would be a 92-1/2

can't find none, guess I was mistaken. . . They would have started putting the hypers in car in 92 since the 93s are released in 92.

Get a 5 speed mass air notch. Stock for stock, they will be faster than hatches, GTs, or verts due to their lighter weight. They are structurally stronger as well. I would recommend 88-92 as they will have the factory mass air and the forged pistons. All Fox 5.0's are blessed with ease of maintenance. I love my heavier GT but I would ****** up a clean notch in a heartbeat if presented with the chance to do so for the reasons I've listed.
