Default Suspension Motor Help

I have a 93 GT DSS setup inclusive of Trick Flow heads, Edelbrock intake, forged cranks pistions, all MSD, 24lb injectors, adj fuel pressure, 4:10, pullys, cold air, long tube, 200 wet shot, etc. Nothing extreme decent running car.

I picked up the car when I was 18 and it has now been with me more than half of my life. I need a project as well as some advice. All of the suspension on the car is stock and I am a novice when it comes to suspension, so I am looking for suggestions.

After many internal arguements, I think im going to stick with the 302, stroked to a 331 or 347 "unless an arguement to do otherwise". Probably keep my heads, ditch the systemax for a port matched trick flow intake, keep and use the components that will work, and go back to AC and keep the NOS for track.

I want this car to primarily be a street show car that I can take to the track and run mid 6-low 7's.

Advise appreciated

I hope you mean "mid 6-low7's" in the 1/8 mile.

Welcome to the forum first, second, If this is primarily a street car, I'd invest in a good set of lowering springs, maybe just an inch drop. Then a good set of adjustable shocks and struts all the way around. Then go thru and replace any worn out bushings in your stock suspension.

Any other questions, jump over to the Fox/SN Tech Section. You'll get more responses there.

Read the "Official Suspension Guide" sticky thread in the Suspension forum here (go back a page, scroll down until you find it). The info there is centered around an SN95 chassis car but the suspension/chassis between those and your Fox are basically the same. A good start regardless of what you want to do with the car would be aftermarket lower control arms and subframe connectors. After that, parts selection starts becoming a little more specific to whatever your goals for the car may be.
